CAUTION

Use the hardware supplied in the 4-post mounting kit for mid-mounting the Brocade ICX 7750 in
a 4-post rack. When front-flush or reverse mounting in a 4-post rack, use the L-shaped brackets
from the 2-post rack mounting kit instead of those in the 4-post kit to prevent the side cooling
vents from being blocked.

2. Attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the device as illustrated in

Figure 11

using the

8-32 x 5/16 in. screws. Note that 4-post rack installation also supports mid-mount options.

3. Attach the appropriate rails: either side attach or rear attach as determined by the type of rack

in which you are installing the device.

4. Position the switch in the cabinet, providing temporary support under the switch until the rail

kit is secured to the cabinet.

5. Attach the front right bracket to the rail rack using two 10-32 x 5/8 in. screws and the

appropriate round-hole or square-hole retainer nuts.

6. Repeat step 5 to attach the left front bracket to the left front rack rail and tighten all 10-32 x

5/8 in. screws to a torque of 25 in-lb (29 cm-kg). Refer to

Figure 12

.

7. Attach the rear right bracket to the rail rack using two 10-32 x 5/8 in. screws and the

appropriate round-hole or square-hole retainer nuts.
