Attaching Brackets to the Router
You can rack-mount a Cisco 3600 series router with either the front or the rear of the chassis facing forward. See the following sections for bracket installation instructions for each chassis orientation:
•Front-Panel-Forward Installation, page 3-6
•Rear-Panel-Forward Installation, page 3-9
•Center-Mount Installation, page 3-12
Note Use the screws supplied with the brackets for this installation.
Note If you are installing a Cisco 3620 or Cisco 3640 router in a 19-inch rack with a 17.5-inch opening, orient the brackets so that they will not need to slide between the chassis and the rack; the 17.5-inch rack opening is not wide enough for the chassis plus the bracket thickness. (See Figure 3-6, Figure 3-7, Figure 3-12and Figure 3-13.)
