Mounting a NetIron MLX-16 Chassis in a Rack
To mount a NetIron MLX-16 chassis in a rack, do the following:
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 on the mounting
brackets as shown in Figure 3.18. 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 rack, mount the chassis in the
rack as shown in Figure 3.18. With two or more people lifting the chassis, slip the wide portion of each
keyhole slot over the corresponding screw in the rack.
