Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed. If the rack is on wheels,
ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.
To prevent damage to the chassis or personal injury, never attempt to lift or tilt
Two people should perform Step 3 through Step 6.
Position the chassis so that the end with the brackets attached is closest to you;
then lift the chassis and move it to the rack. To prevent injury, avoid sudden
twists or moves.
Slide the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets meet the front
mounting strips or posts on both sides of the equipment rack.
While keeping the brackets flush against the posts or mounting strips, position
the router so the holes in the brackets are aligned with those in the mounting
strips.
From the front of the rack, insert all eight 10-32 x 3/8 slotted screws (four on
each side) through the brackets and into the mounting strip (use the top and
bottom bracket holes, as shown in Figure 3-4). Using a 1/4-inch, flat-blade
screwdriver, tighten all the screws.
