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.

3Using 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.
