If you are installing a new router, mount the chassis in the rack before connecting any interface or power cables. Otherwise, disconnect all cables before moving the chassis. To help ensure that you connect the interface cables to their original interface ports, tag each cable with its slot/port address before you disconnect it.
Installing the Ears on the Chassis
Each chassis ear has two studs that fit into holes in the chassis. The chassis has two pairs of holes on each side: one pair near the interface processor end and one pair near the noninterface processor end. (See Figure 4.) Install both ears at the same end of the chassis (either at the interface processor end or the noninterface processor end), whichever will be in the front of the rack. For example, if you will install the chassis with the interface processor end of the router at the front and the noninterface processor end in the back of the rack, install the ears near the interface processor end of the chassis.
To install the ears on the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 Verify that you have all the parts you will need: two chassis ears, four M4 x
Step 2 On the rack, measure the space between the inner sides of the left and right front posts or mounting strips to ensure that it is at least 17.72 inches wide. (The chassis is 17.65 inches wide with the ears installed and must fit between the mounting strips.)
Step 3 Refer to Figure 4 and locate the guides in the chassis sides.
