Figure 32: Typical Open-Frame Rack

There are two sets of holes in the mounting brackets and front-mount flanges used to
attach the chassis to a rack. The holes within each set are spaced at 3 U (5.25 in. or
13.3 cm). The TX Matrix router can be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced
at those distances.
Always secure the rack to the structure of the building. If your geographical area is subject
to earthquakes, bolt the rack to the floor. For maximum stability, also secure the rack to
ceiling brackets. For more information, see "Rack-Mounting Requirements and Warnings"
on page 305.

When planning the installation site, allow sufficient clearance around the rack:
