    Installing the Switch in a Cabinet with Insufficient Front Clearance This section describes how to use the rack-mount kit provided with the switch to install the Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch into a cabinet with insufficient front-facing clearance. The Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch is installed rear-facing to provide adequate clearance for the fibre-optic cables.
  • Page 12 This rear-facing installation is necessary to ensure that the minimum bend radius for the fiber-optic cables is maintained. In these cabinets, the Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch is mounted backwards, with the fiber-optic cables facing toward the rear of the cabinet and the power supplies facing the front of the cabinet.
  • Page 13 Installing Front Rack-Mount Brackets for Cabinets with 26 Inches or Greater of Rail Spacings The front rack-mount brackets for the Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch must be installed onto the switch prior to installing the switch into the cabinet. Follow these steps for cabinets with front-mounting rail to rear-mounting rail spacings greater or equal to 26 inches.

The front rack-mount bracket does not align with all three holes in the Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch Note in this configuration. The two screws are adequate to hold the weight of the Cisco MDS 9100 Series switch.
