Preparing the Installation Site
Cabling Infrastructure
Ensure that the proper cabling is installed in the site.
For information on cabling, see “Installing Power Supplies in a NetIron MLX-16 Chassis” on page 3-25, “Attaching
a Management Station” on page 3-49, and “Connecting a NetIron MLX Series Router” on page 4-5.
Installation Location
Before installing the router, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. For cooling
purposes, allow a minimum of six inches of space between the sides, front, and the back of the chassis and walls
or other obstructions. If a chassis is installed within a perforated enclosure, the perforations must have openings of
at least 60 percent of the surface.
If you will be using a mechanical lift to move and install the chassis, make sure you allow enough working room.
Unpacking a NetIron MLX-16 Router
The NetIron MLX-16 router ships with several items. Review the list below, and verify the contents. If any items are
missing, contact the place of purchase.
• NetIron MLX-16 chassis with the appropriate number of switch fabric modules already installed in the slot
marked SF and a slot blank installed in all other module slots.
• Rack mount kit, including two L-shaped brackets and mounting screws.
NOTE: You must provide standard #12-24 pan-head screws for mounting the NetIron MLX Series chassis into a
rack.
• CD-ROM containing software images and the user documentation (including this guide).
• Warranty card.
• A 115V AC power cable for each AC power supply you purchase from Foundry.
To unpack a NetIron MLX-16 chassis, follow these steps:
1. Move the pallet to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible.
2. Position the shipping carton with the arrows pointing up.
3. Remove the strap that secures the shipping carton to the pallet.
4. Remove the plastic cover and shipping carton.
