bracket on each side of the front or rear of the chassis.

being attached for a front rack-mount. Depending on the bracket holes you use, the router will protrude
or be recessed in the rack.
To install the rack-mount and cable-management brackets on a Cisco 7401ASR router for a front
rack-mount configuration, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis.
Step 2 Align the rack-mount bracket (1) to the side of the router. Depending on which set of rack-mount bracket
holes you choose to use to attach the rack-mount bracket to the router, the chassis will either be recessed
in the rack or protrude from the rack.
Step 3 Insert and tighten two screws (2).
Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on the other side of the router.
This completes the steps for attaching the rack-mount brackets to the Cisco 7401ASR router.
