Installing and Connecting the Router

The router, accessory kit, publications, and any optional equipment you ordered may be shipped in more than

one container. When you unpack the containers, check the packing list to ensure that you received all of the

items on the list.

Installing the Router in a Rack

The Cisco IR8340 router can only be mounted in a rack.

Caution

Note

The Cisco IR8340 router can be installed in a 19-inch (48.26-cm) standard rack. It is required that at least one

rack unit of vertical space is left empty above and below the router.

You can mount the router by attaching the rack-mount brackets at the cable side of the chassis with the cable

side facing forward.

The following figure shows the rack-mount brackets used with the Cisco IR8340 router. The brackets extend

one rack unit of vertical space that can be either above or below the router.

To attach the long side of each bracket to the Cisco IR8340 router, remove the eight Phillips screws from the

side panel and use them to attach the bracket to the router. See the following figures.

To prevent damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis by holding it by the plastic

panel on the front. Always hold the chassis by the sides of the metal body.

Allow at least one rack unit of vertical space above and below the router.
