Cisco uBR7225VXR Router Chassis Rack-Mounting Options

The chassis mounts to two rack posts with brackets that attach to either the front, middle, or rear sides of the chassis. The inside width between the posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17.5 inches (44.45 cm).

Some equipment racks provide a power strip along the length of one of the mounting strips. Figure 3-1shows a typical 4-post equipment rack with a power strip along one of the back posts. If your rack has this feature, consider the position of the strip when planning fastener points and ensure that you will be able to pull cable interface line card cables and other FRUs straight out of their respective slots.

The inlet and exhaust ports for cooling air are located on the right and left of the chassis, respectively, so multiple universal broadband routers can be stacked in a rack with little or no vertical clearance.

Note We recommend the rear bracket mounting system for 4-post racks. This method enables you to keep cables from protruding too far out in front of the Cisco uBR7225VXR router and to simultaneously manage the cables at the front of the chassis with the cable-management bracket.
