router till you are ready to install it.
To unpack the router:
1. Open the top flaps of the carton.
2. Gradually remove the packing foam holding the router and the accessories in place. See Figure 1.
3. Take out the router and each accessory.

Guidelines
It is recommended that the rack comply with the size and strength standards of a
19-inch rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment
(document number EIA-310–D), published by the Electronics Industry Association
http://www.eia.org . Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to
accommodate the external dimensions of the chassis and that the outer edges of
the front mount brackets extend the width of the chassis to 19 in. (48.2 cm). You
must also ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper
clearance around the router and rack.
For maximum stability, secure the rack to ceiling brackets and to floor brackets.
