You can install the router in a four-post rack or cabinet or an open-frame rack.
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured router:
up to 157.4 lb (71.4 kg) for AC-powered chassis, and up to 163.4 lb (74.1 kg) for
DC-powered chassis.
Material handling systems (such as levers, slings, lifts, and so on) must be used to lift
any equipment weighing more than 121.2 lb (55 kg). In installation sites where using a
lift is not practical, specially trained persons or systems must be used (riggers or
movers).
The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the external dimension
of the chassis: 5.21 in. (13.23 cm) high, 30 in. (76.2 cm) deep, and 17.3 in. (43.9 cm)
wide. The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width to 19 in. (48.3 cm).
Ensure that the cabinet allows the hot exhaust air of the chassis to exit from the cabinet
without recirculating into the router.
The router must be installed in a rack that is secured to the building structure.
Mount the router at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
When mounting the router in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to
the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
