Figure 3-4 Brackets for 23-Inch Rack-Mounting of Routers with 2-RU Height

Attaching the Brackets to Cisco 261x, Cisco 262x, Cisco 26xxXM, and Cisco 265x Series Routers

To install the chassis in a rack, attach the brackets in one of the following ways:

•With the front panel forward (see Figure 3-5and Figure 3-6)

•With the rear panel forward (see Figure 3-7and Figure 3-8)

•In a center-mount rack, with the rear panel forward (see Figure 3-9through Figure 3-11)

Note Use the screws that came with your router package for attaching the brackets.

Note If you are installing a Cisco 2600 series router in a 19-inch rack with a 17.5-inch opening, orient the rack-mount brackets so that, when installed, they do not increase the width of the chassis. (See Figure 3-5.)

If you are installing a Cisco 2600 series router in a 19-inch rack with a 17.75-inch opening or a 23- or 24-inch rack, orient the rack-mount brackets so that, when installed, they increase the width of the chassis. (See Figure 3-6.)
