Cisco uBR7200 Series Chassis Rack-Mounting Options

The chassis mounts to two rack posts with brackets that attach to either the front, middle, or rear sides
of the chassis. The inside width between the posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least
17.5 inches (44.45 cm).
Some equipment racks provide a power strip along the length of one of the mounting strips.
shows a typical 4-post equipment rack with a power strip along one of the back posts. If your rack has
this feature, consider the position of the strip when planning fastener points and ensure that you will be
able to pull port adapters and other FRUs straight out of their respective slots.
The inlet and exhaust ports for cooling air are located on the right and left of the chassis, respectively,
so multiple universal broadband routers can be stacked in a rack with little or no vertical clearance.
Note To illustrate the different methods for rack-mounting the Cisco uBR7200 series universal broadband
router, this section displays figures specific to the Cisco uBR7246. The setup necessary to rack-mount
the Cisco uBR7246VXR router is the same as for the Cisco uBR7246 router in all cases.
