Installing a Brocade MLXe-16 router in a cabinet or 4-post rack
Using the Cabinet/4-Post Rack Mount Kit, you can install up to four Brocade MLXe-8 routers in a
cabinet or rack.
DANGER
Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the router is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable or falling over.

Mount the routers you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest router at
the bottom and progressively place lighter routers above to prevent the rack or cabinet from
becoming top-heavy and tipping over.

1. Remove the factory-installed mounting brackets from the sides of the router.
