Mounting the Router in a Rack
Warning
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must
take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The
following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
•This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in
the rack.
•When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top, with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
•If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
The rack-mounting brackets supplied with the router can be attached to a 19- or
24-inch rack. Figure 2-1 shows the bracket mounting points that attach to the rack.
