This section explains how to install the rack-mount brackets and cable-management bracket on a
Cisco uBR7225VXR universal broadband router. Before installing the chassis in the rack, you must
install cable-management bracket and a rack-mount bracket on each side of the front, middle, or rear of
the chassis.
The parts and tools required for installing the rack-mount and cable-management bracket are listed in
the “Installation Tools” section on page 2-8.

Installing Rack-Mount Brackets on the Rear of the Chassis

To install the rack-mount brackets and cable-management bracket on the chassis for a rear rack-mount
configuration, complete the following steps:
Step1 Locate the threaded holes in the rear sides of the chassis.
Step2 Align the first rack-mount bracket to the threaded holes in the right side of the chassis. See Figure3-8.

are used for front and middle mount, and five holes are used for rear mount.
Step3 Thread five M4 x 6-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.
