Rackmounting the Brocade
SilkWorm 3800 Switch
The Brocade SilkWorm 3800 switch requires that the rails be mounted into a Sun
StorEdge 72-inch Expansion Cabinet or a Sun Rack 900/1000 equipment rack before
installing the switch. Each 3800 switch comes with a rackmounting kit.
The 3800 switch is 1 RU (rack unit) in height.
