Cisco MGX 8800/8900 Series Hardware Installation Guide
Releases 2 - 5.2, Part Number OL-4545-01, Rev. H0, May 2006
Chapter 5 Installing the Cisco MGX Switch or Gateway
Installing the MGX 8950 Switch
• Cisco cabinet configuration—The switch and hardware components (optional AC power supply tray,
air intake plenum, upper and lower fan trays, and exhaust plenum) are shipped front-mounted in the
enclosure, and the rear of each component is supported by a rear bracket.
When you are installing a MGX 8950 system in a 23-inch rack, the switch and hardware components
(optional AC power supply tray, air intake plenum, upper and lower fan trays, and exhaust plenum) need
to be mid-mounted in the rack. You need special mounting brackets to mid-mount the components in a
23-inch rack (mounting kit, Cisco Part Number MGX-MNT23-8950).
Figure 5-36 shows the mounting rail distances for front, middle, and rear-mounting rails.
