Installing a chassis in a rack

Installing a chassis in a rack
Because of the weight of a fully loaded chassis (97 lbs minimum), Brocade recommends mounting
a chassis in a rack before installing the modules and power supplies.
In a standard 19-inch (EIA310-D) rack, you can install up to seven FSX or
FSX 800
chassis devices,
or up to three
FSX 1600
chassis devices. You can flush mount the FSX and
FSX 800
using the
built-in mounting brackets on the front of the device. Alternatively, you can use the optional rack
mount kit to center the chassis in a rack. The
FSX 1600
does not have built-in mounting brackets.
To mount the
FSX 1600
in a rack, you will need to install the brackets in the rack mount kit that
ships with the chassis, as shown in figure
.
Before performing this task, you should have an assembled rack and a #2 Phillips-head
screwdriver.
Keep the following in mind when mounting a chassis in a rack.
DANGER
The Chassis devices are very heavy, especially when fully populated with modules and power
supplies. TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN LIFTING, HANDLING, OR MOUNTING
THESE DEVICES.
DANGER
Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable or falling over.
DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at
the bottom and progressively place lighter devices above.
For each FastIron X Series that you install in a rack, you must provide four mounting screws with
which to secure the chassis.
To mount the chassis in a rack using the built-in mounting brackets, perform the following tasks.
