To help maintain trouble-free operation, adhere to the following precautions when
planning your rack installation:
Ensure the site of the rack includes provisions for source AC or DC power,
•
grounding, and network interface cables.
Allow sufficient space to work around the rack during the installation. You
•
need:
At least 3 feet adjacent to the rack to move, align, and insert the chassis.
–
At least 2 feet in front of the power shelf to insert power entry modules.
–
Maintain at least 24 inches (61 cm) of clearance in front of and behind the
•
chassis for maintenance after installation.
To mount the router between two posts or rails, the usable aperture (the width
•
between the inner edges of the two mounting flanges) must be at least
17.7 inches (45.0 cm).
For the enhanced model of the Cisco 12404 Internet router, the mounting
•
rails on a 4-post rack must be recessed no more than 1.5 inches for the front
door to fully open and close and to provide adequate room for cable routing.
The height of the router is 37.0 inches (93.98 cm). Most racks accommodate
•
two routers.
When fully populated with cards, the router can weigh as much as 275 lb
•
(124.74 kg). To maintain equipment rack stability and to ensure your safety,
the rack is provided with stabilizing devices. Make sure you install the
stabilizers before installing the router.
If you use a telco-style rack, the weight of the chassis is cantilevered off of
•
the two rack posts. Make sure that:
The weight of the router does not make the frame unstable.
–
The frame is bolted to the floor and is secured to the building structure
–
using either wall brackets or overhead brackets.
When mounting the router in a telco-type rack or 4-post rack, be sure to use
•
all of the screws provided to secure the chassis to the rack posts.
Install the cable-management brackets included with the router to keep cables
•
organized. Be sure to:
