Mounting a BigIron RX-16 chassis in a rack
Follow the steps given below to mount a BigIron RX-16 chassis in a rack.
1. Determine the position of each chassis in the rack, for example, a chassis with the fewest
modules on top, a chassis with more modules than the top chassis in the middle, and a fully
populated chassis on the bottom.
2. Position the four screws for each chassis according to the spacings of the keyhole slots (the
ones with the narrow portion pointing upwards) on the mounting brackets as shown in
Figure 34 . Do not secure the screws completely; leave approximately 1/4 inch of clearance
between the back of the screw head and the rack.

3. Starting with the chassis that you want to mount in the lowest position in the r ack, mount the
chassis in the rack as shown in Figure 34 . With two or more people lifting the chassis, slip the
wide portion of each keyhole slot over the corresponding screw in the rack.
