Installing a Brocade MLXe-16 router
The following sections describe how to install a Brocade MLXe-16 router.
Illustrations 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 you are installing the router 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 at the site. For information about
cabling, refer to “Installing power supplies in a Brocade MLXe-16 router” on page 73,and “Attaching
a management station” on page 124.
This equipment is suitable for installation in a Network Telecommunication facility and where NEC
requirements apply. Additionally, it may be installed in either a Common Bonding Network (CBN) or
Isolated Bonding Network (IBN). It is not intended for Outside Plant (OSP) installations.
