In many circumstances, you may not own a 19-inch standard rack. Usually, the router will
be installed on a clean workbench. The operations are very simple, but still, you should
be aware of the following items:
Ensure the stability and well-grounding of the workbench.
■
Leave a space of 10cm around the router for heat dissipation.
■
Do not place heavy objects on the router.

3Com 5000 Routers are designed according to the dimensions of a 19-inch standard
rack.
As shown in Figure 8, follow the steps below to install the router:
1 Check the grounding and stability of the rack. Use the screws to fix the mounting ears at
both sides of the front panel or the rear panel of the router.
2 Put the router in a rack tray. Depending on the actual situation, slide the router along the
chassis guides to an appropriate place.
3 Fasten the mounting ears with the recess screws to fix the router in the rack horizontally
and firmly. The specifications of recess screws should satisfy the installation requirements
and the surface of the screws should be anti-rust.
