of your system.
Have the tools and accessories needed to complete the installation.
Read and understand the clearance requirements for the front and back of the
chassis for cable routing and other unit access. See "Environmental
Requirements" on page 97 for more information.
Read and understand the clearance requirements for the top and bottom of the
chassis to ensure adequate ventilation.
Prepare the equipment racks by measuring and marking space for each router
and plenum you plan to install.
When installing the system on a table top or in any other freestanding mode, be sure
to leave enough space around the system for adequate ventilation. Position the router
with easy access to the connections that it needs for power, local communications,
and remote communications.
