Chapter 1 Preparing for Installation

Site Requirement Guidelines

Weight of the router does not make the frame unstable.

Frame is bolted to the floor and is secured to the building structure using either wall brackets or overhead brackets.

When mounting the router in a telco-style rack or 4-post rack, be sure to use all the screws provided to secure the chassis to the rack posts.

Install the cable-management brackets included with the router to keep cables organized. Be sure to use appropriate strain-relief methods to protect cables and equipment connections.

To avoid noise interference in network interface cables, do not route them directly across or along power cables.
