Removing extra shipment screws
The PowerConnect B-RX Series four-slot and eight-slot chassis ships with two extra screws installed in the right side
of the chassis. These screws secure the fan tray, protecting it from damage during shipment. You must remove these
screws before installing the chassis.
Figure 4
shows the location of the screws.
To perform this task, you need a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.

Mounting a chassis in a rack
Follow the steps given below to mount a PowerConnect B-RX Series 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 two of the four screws for each chassis on the rack (
Figure 5
) according to the spacings of the keyhole
slots on the mounting brackets as shown in
Figure 6
(four-slot and eight-slot chassis) or
Figure 7
(16-slot
chassis). Do not secure the screws completely; leave approximately (.635 cm (1/4 in.) of clearance between the
back of the screw head and the rack.
