Step 3 Place the router top-side up on a flat, smooth, secure surface.

Caution Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 pounds (4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top could damage the chassis.

After the router has been installed, you must connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground. For the chassis ground connection procedures, see the “Installing the Chassis Ground Connection” section on page 3-13.

Mounting the Chassis in a Rack

This section describes the procedures for rack-mounting the chassis. Cisco 2600 series routers with a chassis height of 1 rack-unit (1RU) ship with brackets for use with a 19-inch rack or, if specified in your order, optional larger brackets for use with a 23- or 24-inch rack. Cisco 2600 series routers with a chassis height of 2 rack-units (2RU) ship with brackets for use with 19-inch racks and with NEBS/ETSI-compliant brackets for use with 23-inch racks. The brackets are shown in Figure 3-2, Figure 3-3, and Figure 3-4.
