10. Visually inspect the alignment of the router. If the router is installed properly in the rack, the
mounting screws on one side of the rack should align with the mounting screws on the
opposite side and the router should be level. Add all remaining screws.
For better grounding of the router to the rack, attach the router using star washers. You should also
use star washers with any single-hole grounding lugs to keep the lugs from rotating.
Installing your 32-slot router in a 4-post rack or open cabinet
You can install Brocade MLX Series 32-slot routers in a 4-post rack or open cabinet using the
optional 4-post rack mount kit available from Brocade. Table 25 lists the contents of this kit.
Because of the weight of fully loaded 32-slot routers, it is recommended that you mount the router
in the rack or cabinet before installing modules and power supplies.
You will need the following items to install your 32-slot router in a 4-post rack or open cabinet:
• A mechanical lift fitted with a lift plate (instead of forks) to move the device off the pallet and
transport it to the rack. The lift should be rated for 500 lbs. minimum.
• A strap to secure and stabilize the device while it is being moved on the mechanical lift.
• Screws to attach the rails to your cabinet type. (These are usually provided with the cabinet or
rack.)
Four or more people are required to position the unpopulated router into the rack.
Do not use the handles on the power supply units or fan modules to position the router.
