Attaching Brackets to the Rack

After the brackets are attached to the router, use the four supplied number-12 Phillips machine screws to securely attach the

brackets to the rack, as shown in Figure 3.

Caution Make sure that the fans on the side of the chassis are not blocked.

Figure3 Attaching Brackets to the Rack
Attaching the Optional Cable Guide

Cisco recommends attaching the cable guide to prevent the cables from obscuring the front panel of the router and the other

devices installed in the rack. If the router is in a 19-inch or 24-inch rack, use the supplied black screw, as shown in Figure 4, to

attach the cable guide to the left or right bracket.
