Guidelines
Ensure that the rack complies with this standard:
A 19-in. (48.3 cm) rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment
(document number EIA-310-D) published by the Electronics Industry Association
( http://www.eia.org ).
Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the external dimensions
of the router chassis. The outer edges of the front-mounting brackets extend the width of the
chassis to 19.2 in. (48.7 cm).
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the router.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper clearance around the
router and rack.
Secure the rack to the building structure.
If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the floor.
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as to the wall or floor brackets for maximum
stability.
One pair of mounting brackets for mounting the router on two posts of a rack is supplied
with each router. For mounting the router on four posts of a rack or cabinet, you can order
a four-post rack-mount kit separately.
