To mount the vEdge 2000 router on two front posts in a 19-inch rack:
1. Place the router chassis on the floor or on a sturdy table near the rack.
2. Verify the internal dimensions of the rack with a tape measure. The chassis is 440 mm wide and must fit
within the mounting posts.
3. Secure the two extended mounting ears, marked Left and Right, to either side of the router chassis using
the eight screws for mounting ears (four on each side) in the packet marked B plus the four additional
screws for extended mounting ears (two on each side) in the packet marked C.

are aligned with the threaded holes in the rack rail. Align the bottom hole in both the mounting ears with
a hole in each rack rail, making sure the chassis is level.
