Caution Do not grasp air inlet or exhaust when lifting the router chassis.

Step 2 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.

Step 3 Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails while the second person finger-tightens a screw to the rack rails on each side of the chassis.

Step 4 Finger-tighten two more screws to the rack rails on each side of the chassis. Space the screws evenly between the top and bottom of the chassis.

Step 5 Attach the side brackets to the left and right side of the chassis by finger-tightening two screws through each bracket into the chassis.

Step 6 Attach the side bracket front flanges to the rack by finger-tightening two screws through each bracket flange into the front mounting rails of the rack.

Step 7 Fully tighten both the screws on the chassis mounting flanges on each side to secure the chassis to the rack rails.

Step 8 Fully tighten the two screws on each side bracket to secure the brackets to the chassis.

Step 9 Fully tighten the two screws on each side bracket flange to secure the brackets to the rack rails.
