Rack-Mount and Cable-Management Kit

The rack-mount and cable-management kit for the Cisco 7200 VXR routers consists of rack-mount and cable-management brackets that are designed for mounting your router in 19-inch, four-post or two-post equipment racks and for relieving strain on port adapter interface cables that are installed on port adapters in the router. The kit is shipped with each Cisco 7200 VXR router and is also available as a single FRU.

For detailed instructions about how to install the rack-mount and cable-management brackets on your Cisco 7200 VXR router, see Chapter 3, “Installing a Cisco 7200 VXR Router,” the “Rack-Mounting a Cisco 7200 VXR Router” section on page 3-2and the “General Tabletop or Workbench Installation” section on page 3-14.
