zThe rack is well fixed.

zThe rack is ready for installation without debris inside or around. The chassis is near to the rack.

2)Attach the mounting brackets onto both sides of the chassis with a Phillips screwdriver. Note that the mounting brackets are installed with cable-management brackets. Skip this step, if you mount the router on a tabletop.

3)Lift the chassis a little higher than the shelf or guides in the rack, put it on the shelf/guides, and push it into the rack. Note that the 3Com Router 6080 might require two persons to lift it.

4)Securely fix the chassis in the rack by fixing the mounting brackets with the proper pan head screws onto the front posts or back posts. Skip this step, if you do not use a rack.
