Arack-mount and cable-management kit is included in the shipping container. The rack-mount brackets in the kit are for mounting a Cisco 7200 VXR router in standard, 19-inch-wide, four-post equipment racks or two-post equipment racks. The rack-mount brackets are not suitable for use with other racks, such as 23-inch telco racks. The cable-management brackets are designed to relieve the strain on port adapter interface cables that are installed on port adapters in a Cisco 7200 VXR router.

If you are installing an equipment shelf or using mounting hardware other than that supplied with the chassis, review the guidelines in the “Rack-Mounting Guidelines” section on page 2-5in the chapter “Preparing for Installation,” and then proceed to the “General Tabletop or Workbench Installation” section on page 3-14.
