Figure 2-2. Mounting bracket and screws

Recommended tools for this procedure:

✁#2 Phillips screwdriver

To install the router in a rack:

1Determine where in the rack you want to mount the router.

The mounting brackets are reversible, permitting either front or rear mounting.

Note: Ensure that the front and rear panels have adequate clearance for the fan, air intake vents (front), and access to all connections. The proper airflow is from the front of the router to the back.

2Remove the screws from the sides of the router and keep the screws.

3 Using the screws you removed, attach the brackets to the router.

Be sure to place the front of the brackets at the front (for front mounting) or rear (for rear mounting) of the router, depending on how you are mounting it in the rack.

You may have to squeeze the top and bottom of the router to align the holes.

4Install in the 19" rack according to the rack’s instructions.

Connecting the Router

The router has several types of data connections:

✁Two Fibre Channel (gigabit interface connector [GBIC])—permitting connection to other FC devices, typically through an arbitrated loop or SAN with fabric.

✁Six SCSI channels—permitting the connection of up to 15 devices on each channel.
