Installing a Brocade MLX-32 router
This section describes how to install a Brocade MLX-32 router.
NOTE
Illustrations in this chapter may differ slightly from the actual equipment.
Preparing the installation site
Before installing the router, plan the location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. For cooling purposes, allow a
minimum of six inches of space between the sides, front, and the back of the router and walls or other obstructions. If a router is installed
within a perforated enclosure, the perforations must cover at least 60 percent of the surface.
You will need to use a mechanical lift to move and install the router. Be sure to allow enough working room for the lift.
NOTE
Make sure your site provides 200-240 AC power.
Ensure that the proper power and network cabling is installed at the site.
For information on cabling, refer to “Brocade MLX-32 cable management” on page 103, “Installing power supplies in a Brocade MLX-32
router” on page 113, “Attaching a management station” on page 118.
