Installing a PowerConnect B-MLXe-16 router 2 Front- or mid-mount in a standard rack Follow these steps to mount a PowerConnect B-MLXe-16 router in a rack. You will need to provide standard #12-24 pan-head screws to mount each router in a rack. You will need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this task. NOTE When connecting the device to the rack frame, use thread-forming screws and paint-piercing washers. 1. Determine the position of each router in the rack. For example, place routers with the fewest modules near the top of the rack, routers with more modules near the middle of the rack, and fully populated routers near the bottom of the rack. 2. Position four mounting screws for each router using the spacing of the keyhole slots (the ones with the narrow portion pointing up) on the mounting brackets as a guide, as shown in Figure 37. When tightening the mounting screws, leave approximately 1/4 inch of clearance between the back of the screw head and the rack posts.

Starting with the router that will be in the lowest position in the rack, mount the router in the rack as shown in Figure 38. With two or more people lifting the router, slip the wide portion of each keyhole slot over the corresponding mounting screw in the rack post.
