Installing a Brocade NetIron XMR 8000 router
The following sections describe how to install a Brocade NetIron XMR 8000 router.
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 in a perforated
enclosure, the perforations must cover at least 60 percent of the surface.
Ensure that the proper power and network cabling is installed in the site. For information on
cabling, refer to “Installing Brocade NetIron XMR 8000 router power supplies” on page 258, and
“Attaching a management station” on page 296.
