Installing the Cisco MGX Switch or Gateway
Installing the MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) Switch, MGX 8850/B or MGX 8880 Media Gateway
When you are installing a MGX 8850, MGX 8850/B, or MGX 8880 system in a 23-inch rack, the switch
and hardware components (which could include the optional AC power supply tray, air intake plenum,
upper and lower fan trays, and exhaust plenum) need to be mid-mounted in the rack. You need special
mounting brackets to mid-mount the components in a 23-inch rack (mounting kit, Cisco Part Number
MGX-MNT23).
