“Unpacking a system” on page 42
2 Review the installation cautions and warnings. “Installation precautions” on page 43

4The FSX and FSX 800 chassis ships with extra screws
installed in the right side of the chassis. These screws
secure the fan tray assembly, protecting it from
damage during shipment. You must remove these
screws before installing the chassis.
“Removing extra shipment screws (FSX
and FSX 800 only)” on page 47
5 Install the chassis in a rack.
Because of the weight of a fully loaded chassis (97 lbs
minimum), Brocade recommends mounting a chassis
in a rack before installing the modules and power
supplies.
