Rack Mounting the Chassis

For WICs:

•
If there are modules, interface cards, or power supplies to be removed or installed, Cisco suggests that
you perform the installation or removal before you install the chassis. If a chassis cover needs to be
removed, the chassis may have to be removed from the rack to permit cover removal.
Rack Mounting the Chassis
You can mount the Cisco MWR 1941-DC router in a 19-inch rack that conforms to EIA-310-D
specification (the inside width of the rack should be 17.72 to 17.80 inches per the EIA-310-D
specification). The MWR 1941-DC router requires this minimum width and occupies 1U (1.75 inches)
of vertical space.
