Prepare Rack for Router Installation

Install the chassis into a two-post standard rack with standard horizontal mounting rails. Before you mount
the chassis into the rack, we recommend that you do the following:
Step 1
Place the rack where you plan to install the chassis. Ensure that the rack is grounded to earth.
Step 2 Secure the rack to the floor.
To bolt the rack to the floor, a floor bolt kit (also called an anchor embedment kit) is required. For information on bolting
the rack to the floor, consult a company that specializes in floor mounting kits (such as Hilti; see
Make sure that floor mounting bolts are accessible, especially if an annual retorquing of bolts is required.

Cabinet Selection Guidelines

Equipment that is intended for installation in controlled environmental space has average yearly levels of
contamination. Ventilated cabinets or racks can be used if pollutant levels are maintained within allowable
limits.
Equipment intended for installation in outside plant (OSP) areas must have sealed cabinets with heat exchanger
that meet the NEMA -4 or IP66 protection and low average yearly levels of concentration of contaminants
inside the cabinet.
