Brackets Rear-Mounted—Front Recessed in the Rack

1.Locate the threaded screw holes in the rear sides of the chassis.

2.Align the first rack-mount bracket (1) to the threaded holes in the right side of the chassis.

3.Using a Number 2 Phillips screwdriver and two M4 x 8-mm Phillips flathead screws (2), attach the rack-mount bracket to the router.

4.Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the bracket on the other side of the router. If you are not installing cable-management brackets, skip to the “Two-Post or Four-Post Rack Installation” section on page 10 for rack-mount instructions. Otherwise continue with Step 5.

5.Align a cable-management bracket (3) to the threaded holes in the front of the chassis.

6.Using two M4 x 8-mm Phillips flathead screws (4), thread and tighten the screws through the cable-management bracket and into the chassis.

Go to the “Two-Post or Four-Post Rack Installation” section on page 10.

Two-Post or Four-Post Rack Installation

Note Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 17.00 inches (43.18 cm). The height of the chassis is 5.25 inches (13.34 cm).

1.Make sure that all chassis screws holding the network processing engine or network services engine, I/O controller, and power supply are tightened and that any port adapter levers are in a locked position.

2.Make sure the rack brakes are locked or the rack is stabilized.

3.Position the router so the front is closest to you and lift it carefully into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid any sudden twists or moves.

4.Slide the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets (2, 5) meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the rack.

5.Keeping the brackets flush against the posts or mounting strips, align the holes in the brackets with the holes on the rack or mounting strip (3, 6).

6.For each bracket, insert and tighten three 10-32 x 3/8-inch slotted binderhead screws (3, 6), using the top, bottom, and one other location on the bracket.
