WARNING: Three people are required to install the router in a rack: two to
lift the system into position and one to screw it to the rack.
WARNING: Connect the router or rack to ground (earth), and ensure that a
reliable grounding path is maintained in the rack.
WARNING: Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during
lightning activity.
WARNING: Be sure circuit breakers for the power source are in the OFF
position before attaching power cables.
WARNING: Before servicing the router, turn off the power.
WARNING: Remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches) before
working on equipment that is connected to power lines. Metal objects heat
up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or
become welded to the terminals.
CAUTION: Evaluate the overall loading of the branch circuit before you install
any equipment into a rack.
When allocating equipment rack space, consider the following:
Type of equipment racks recommended for the router
Number of equipment racks required to hold your current router configuration
Future expansion
Make sure your distribution rack meets basic mechanical and space requirements and
complies with conventional standards. In the United States, use EIA-310-D Cabinets,
Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment, September 1992.
Follow these mechanical requirements for your rack:
