Chapter
Optional Cisco-Supplied Cabinet
A cabinet is available from Cisco to install the Cisco MGX 8220 shelf, the Cisco BPX 8600 series
wide-area switch, the ESP, and the Cisco IGX 8400 series wide-area switch. Systems preconfigured in
a Cisco-supplied cabinet can be ordered from Cisco.
The cabinet is a 19-inch rack with panels on all sides except the front. The rear panel is a louvered
hinged door. The top and bottom are also covered. The cabinet is equipped with casters, brakes, and
leveling bolts (see Figure 2-9). Holes at the base allow the cabinet to be secured to the floor for
earthquake safety.
Note
Modules are installed in the cabinet in the same manner as installed in a 19-inch rack.
Modules are installed by inserting them into the front of the cabinet and attaching them to the internal
racks. All cables are connected through the rear door.

The vertical height of the cabinet (including casters) is 80.31 inches providing 71.81 inches (41 rack-
mounting units) of vertical rack space.
The cabinet is 23 inches wide and 36 inches deep. Since Cisco MGX 8220 modules are typically
22 inches deep, the cabinet provides approximately 12 inches of space behind the mounted Cisco
MGX 8220 modules for cables and cable management hardware.
