at the rear of the chassis, and the cable-management br ackets are in stalled at the fr ont of the ch assis. You

must install both sets of brackets before you install the chassis in the rack.

Installing the Brackets on the Chassis

This section explains how to install the rack-mount and cable-managemen t brackets at the front and the

rear of the Cisco7204. 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. If you are rack-mounting the chassis from the front and

you plan to use the cable-management brackets, you must install the cabl e-ma na geme nt br ac kets w hen

If you are rack-mounting the chassis from the rear, you may install the rack-mount and

fasteners.)
