Starting the Cisco 7204
A rack-mounting kit is included in the shipping container for mounting the Cisco 7204 in
a standard 19-inch-wide equipment rack or in a 19-inch Telco-type rack. The kit is not
suitable for use with other racks, such as 23-inch Telco racks. If you are installing an
equipment shelf or using mounting hardware other than that supplied with the chassis,
review the guidelines in the section "Equipment Racks" in the chapter "Preparing for
Installation," then proceed to the section "General Installation" in this chapter.
If you plan to install your Cisco 7204 in an equipment rack, proceed to the section "General
