T4000 Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance

The chassis height of 37.45 in. (95.1 cm) is approximately 21.4 U. A U is the standard rack
unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number
EIA-310-D) published by the Electronics Industry Association. You can stack two routers
in a rack that has at least 42.8 U (74.9 in. or 1.90 m) of usable vertical space.
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured router, up
to 606 lb (275 kg). If you stack two fully configured routers in one rack, it must be capable
of supporting about 1212 lb (550 kg).

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.

When planning the installation site, you need to allow sufficient clearance around the
rack (see
