Installing a Brocade MLX-8 router
This section describes how to install a Brocade MLX-8 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.
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.
Ensure that the proper cabling is installed at the site.
