4.Slide the router down so that the mounting screw heads are in the narrow portion of the keyhole slots.

5.Tighten the screws to secure the router in place. For extra support, use additional screws.

NOTE

For better grounding of the router to the rack, attach the router using star washers. You should also use star washers with any single-hole grounding lugs to keep the lugs from rotating.

Repeat step 2 through step 5 to mount each router in the rack.
