Tighten the screws to secure the chassis in place. NOTE To provide better grounding of the chassis to the rack, attach the chassis to the rack using star washers. Additionally, if any single hole grounding lugs are used star washers shall be used as a means to prevent rotation of the lug. 6. Add additional screws as required. 7. Repeat step 2 through step 6 to mount each subsequent chassis in the same rack. Installing modules This section provides one procedure that applies to all modules. The sequence for installing more than one module is important to ensure proper fit. The recommended sequence for the PowerConnect B-RX Series chassis is to start with the lowest row, moving upwards, from right-to-left. For the 16-slot chassis, refer to "Rules for populating a PowerConnect B-RX Series-16 chassis" on page 19. NOTE The PowerConnect B-RX Series modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the PowerConnect B-RX Series chassis only. For example, if you attempt to install the PowerConnect B-RX Series management module in another Dell chassis or a management module intended for another Dell chassis in the PowerConnect B-RX Series chassis, the chassis and module will not function properly. 16 PowerConnect B-RX Series Getting Started Guide 53-1001682-03

Installing modules
This section provides one procedure that applies to all modules. The sequence for installing more than one module
is important to ensure proper fit. The recommended sequence for the PowerConnect B-RX Series chassis is to start
with the lowest row, moving upwards, from right-to-left. For the 16-slot chassis, refer to
“Rules for populating a
PowerConnect B-RX Series-16 chassis”
on page 19.
NOTE
The PowerConnect B-RX Series modules are dedicated, which means that you must install them in the PowerConnect
B-RX Series chassis only. For example, if you attempt to install the PowerConnect B-RX Series management module
in another Dell chassis or a management module intended for another Dell chassis in the PowerConnect B-RX Series
chassis, the chassis and module will not function properly.
