installing the router in a rack.

Installing the Chassis in the Rack

After installing the brackets on the chassis, mount the router by securing the rack-mount brackets to two
posts or mounting strips in the rack using the six slotted screws provided. Because the brackets support
the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all six slotted screws to fasten the two rack-mount brackets
to the rack posts.
19-inch, 4-post and 2-post equipment racks.
We recommend that you allow at least one or two inches of vertical clearance between the router and any
equipment directly above and below it.
To maintain a low center of gravity, ensure that heavier equipment is installed near the bottom of the
