Installing the Cisco cBR Chassis

Installation Methods
The Cisco cBR-8 router can be either mounted on the rack at the front or in the middle. Also, the router can be either mounted on a

Note
430 lbs, components must be removed from the chassis to make the chassis lighter for rack installation.
Remove all power supplies, supervisor cards, line cards, rear PIC cards and fan modules before
rack-mounting to reduce the weight to approximately 117 lbs. For instructions on how to remove the
components, see the monitoring sections.
Note Make sure you place the cards and modules in an anti-static bag until you install the chassis in the rack.
