The Router 5232, Router 5642, and Router 5682 can be mounted in a standard
19-inch rack. To install a router in a rack:
1 Check the grounding condition and stability of the rack. Secure the fastening
brackets to both sides of the front and rear panels of the router.
2 Place the router on one of the trays in the rack. Move the router into position
along the guide rail in the rack.
3 Ensure that the router is level and securely fixed. Use pan head screws to fasten
the brackets to the rack. The pan head screws should be anti-rust and should
satisfy the rack installation requirements.
4 Ensure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed.
