Installing the Optional Center-Mount Brackets

To install the center-mount brackets, see Figure 3-2and follow these steps:

Step 1 Measure and mark the hole at the same height on both the left and right posts.

Caution When installing the right side lower center-mount bracket, ensure that the bracket does not impede airflow through the air filter, which could cause overheating in the router.

Step 2 Mount the lower right bracket:

a.Hold the lower right bracket against the right rack rail and align the bottom screw hole in the lower bracket with the marked screw hole.

b.Pick a bottom bracket hole that aligns with a hole in the rack rail, then insert a screw in the hole and finger tighten the screw.

c.Insert a second screw in the top hole in the bracket and finger tighten that screw.

	Step 3	Repeat Step 2a through Step 2c to mount the lower left center-mount bracket so
		that it is at the same height as the lower right bracket.
	Step 4	Use a level to verify that the tops of the two brackets are level, or use a measuring
		tape to verify that both brackets are the same distance from the tops of both rack
		rails.
	Step 5	Use a screwdriver to tighten all the screws.
	Step 6	Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for both upper center-mount brackets.
