Step3 Thread two M4 x 8-mm Phillips flathead screws through the rack-mount bracket and into the side of the
chassis. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.
Step4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for the other rack-mount bracket.
Step5 If you plan to include the cable-management brackets in your rear rack-mount configuration, align the
first cable-management to the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis. (Refer to Figure3-8 and
Figure 3-9.)
Step6 Thread two M4 x 8-mm Phillips flathead screws through the bracket and into the chassis. Use a number
2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.
Step7 Repeat Step5 and Step 6 for the other cable-management brackets.
This completes the procedure for installing the rack-mount brackets and cable-management brackets on
the Cisco 7204. Proceed to the following section “Installing the Chassis in the Rack.”
Warning
To prevent injury, review the safety precautions in Chapter2, “Preparing for Installation” before
installing the router in a rack.
Installing the Chassis in the Rack
After installing the brackets on the chassis, mount the router by securing the rack-mount b rack ets to tw o
posts or mounting strips in the rack using the six slotted screws provided. Because the brackets support
the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all six slotted screws to fasten the two rack-mount brackets
to the rack posts. Figure 3-2, Figure 3-3, Figure 3-4, and Figure 3-5 show typical installations in
19-inch, 4-post and 2-post equipment racks.
We recommend that you allow at least one or two inches of vertical clearance between the ro uter and any
equipment directly above and below it.
Warning
To maintain a low center of gravity, ensure that heavier equipment is installed near the bottom of the
rack.
