If you are rack-mounting a Cisco 7200 series router from the rear, the rack-mount brackets are installed
at the rear of the chassis, and the cable-management brackets are installed at the front of the chassis. You
must install both sets of brackets before you install the chassis in the rack.

Installing the Brackets on the Chassis

This section explains how to install the rack-mount and cable-management brackets at the front and the
rear of the Cisco 7204. Before installing the chassis in the rack, you must install a rack-mount bracket
on each side of the front or rear of the chassis. If you are rack-mounting the chassis from the front and
you plan to use the cable-management brackets, you must install the cable-management brackets when
you install the rack-mount brackets on the chassis.
If you are rack-mounting the chassis from the rear, you may install the rack-mount and
cable-management brackets separately; however, both sets of brackets must be installed on the chassis
before the chassis is installed in the rack.
The parts and tools required for installing the rack-mount and cable-management brackets are listed in
