Center-Mount Bracket Installation Guide for Cisco 3640 Routers

This document provides instructions for use of center-mount brackets for rack mounting of Cisco 3640 routers.

The center-mount bracket provides enhanced solidarity for router chassis mounted in standard 23-inch telco racks. This mounting system assures earthquake safety for rack-mounted routers.

The center-mount bracket kit contains one pair of brackets and 12 screws for attaching the brackets to the router chassis. The two brackets are identical, and each bracket can be mounted on either side of the router chassis.
