Installing a Brocade MLX-32 router

Installing your 32-slot device in a 2-post rack or open cabinet
Because of the weight of a fully-populated 32-slot chassis, it is not recommended that you install
your 32-slot router in a 2-post rack or open cabinet. The preferred installation is in a 4-post rack or
open cabinet. Refer to “Installing your 32-slot router in a 4-post rack or open cabinet” on page 99
for installation instructions
You can install your 32-slot device in a 2-post rack or open cabinet in either a front-mount
configuration or a mid-mount configuration using the factory-installed mounting brackets. For a
mid-mount configuration, simply remove the factory-installed mounting brackets from the front
edges of the device and re-attach them to the center sides of the device using the pre-drilled holes.
Once you have completed the preliminary installation preparations (refer to “Preliminary rack
mount installation steps” on page 94), complete the following steps to install your device in a
2-post rack or cabinet.
1. Unpack the Open Frame EIA 310-D Rack Mount Kit. Refer toTable 22 and Figure 63 for a list
and illustration of the kit components.
Table 22 lists the items that are included in your Open Frame EIA 310-D Rack Mount Kit.
Use the screws specified for the type of rack. Make sure you have the items listed above and shown
in Figure 63.
