Rack Mounting an MGX 8230
Prepare for Rack Installation
Review this section for information on mounting and positioning the switch in a rack.
Rack Positioning
Different Cisco products can reside in the same rack.
• When used as a feeder, an MGX 8230 is typically co-located and rack-mounted with either an IGX
or BPX switch.
• The recommended stacking is the BPX on the bottom, then the 7204 Tag Switch Controller (if
ordered), and the MGX 8230 on top. The gap between products is designed to be .060" minimum to
allow for replacement clearance.
Bracket Placement
An MGX 8230 can be mid-mounted or mounted flush with the front rails.
• When the MGX 8230 is flush mounted with the front of the rack, it must be supported by a pair of
mounting rails at the rear of the unit.
• When the MGX 8230 is mid-mounted, it is typically attached to only one intermediate rail on each
side. The allowable positions for intermediate rails are shown in Figure 4-1.
