Note
Rack-Mounting the Chassis
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.

Attaching Rack-Mount Brackets to Cisco IR8340 Routers
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.
