Preparing the Equipment Racks
Installing the Router
The Next Step

Following your installation plan, use a tape measure and marking pen to measure and
mark space on each equipment rack for each router component. For horizontal spacing
follow Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements. To maintain airflow
requirements, a plenum must be installed above the E320 router before any piece of
equipment (other than an E320 router) is installed above the router. If you choose not
to install a plenum, be sure to include 2 U of space between the E320 router and the
other component for proper exhaust. A plenum, however, is highly recommended.
To complete the installation of the router in a rack, you need:
A No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
Eight 10-32 x 3/8 Phillips screws (provided with the router) for each router to be installed
WARNING: Do not use the cable management bracket as a handle to lift the
E320 router.
To install the router in the rack:
With one person standing on the left side of the router and another standing on the
1.
right side, lift the router into the rack.
Position the router in its designated location in the equipment rack. Make sure the
2.
holes of the mounting brackets align evenly with the holes of the equipment rack on
both sides.
Starting at the bottom of the router, have the third person secure the router in the
3.
equipment rack by using the 10-32 x 3/8 Phillips screws.
Connect the necessary cables. (See "Cabling the Router" on page 45 for instructions
4.
on installing the cables.)
After you finish installing the router:
If you need to install any modules, see "Installing Modules" on page 25.
If the router was delivered with the modules already installed, see "Cabling the Router"
on page 45, for instructions on connecting cables.
