Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount and Cable-Management Brackets
This section explains how to install the rack-mount and cable-management brackets at the front and the
rear of a Cisco 7201 router. Before installing the chassis in the rack, you must install a rack-mount
bracket on each side of the front or rear of the chassis.
The parts and tools required for installing the rack-mount brackets and cable-management bracket are
listed in the “Tools and Parts Required” section on page 2-3.

Installing Rack-Mount Brackets on the Front of the Chassis

Figure 2-3 Attaching the Rack-Mount Brackets to the Front of the Chassis
Figure 2-3 shows the brackets being attached for a front rack-mount.
To install the rack-mount and cable-management brackets on a Cisco 7201 router for a front rack-mount
configuration, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis.
Step 2 Align the rack-mount bracket to the rack-mount bracket holes on the side of the router.
Step 3 Remove any existing cover screws from the front sides of the chassis that align with the rack-mount
bracket holes and then realign the bracket. (You should have to remove one cover screw from each side
of the chassis.)
Step 4 Insert and tighten two 6-32 x 0.25-in. screws in the two holes nearest the front of the chassis.
Step 5 Insert and tighten the longer M3 x 8-mm screw in the hole nearest the rear of the chassis. (This screw
replaces the cover screw that you removed in Step 3.)
Step 6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 on the other side of the router.
This completes the steps for attaching the rack-mount brackets to the Cisco 7201 router.
