Installing the Rack-Mounting Brackets—Optional, page 3-3

Installing the Chassis in a Rack, page 3-7

Installing Center-Mounting Brackets (optional), page 3-5

Your installation site should already be prepared before you begin installing the router. For complete information about site preparation see Chapter 2, “Preparing for Installation”.

Make sure that you have considered the following before you install the router:

The exhaust vents on the blower module mounted at the rear of the chassis are not blocked.

The air filter is mounted on the right side as you face the router; air flow to the blower module is not blocked.

There is 24 inches (61 cm) of clearance at the rear of the chassis so you can read the blower module LEDs and perform maintenance on the module.

There is 24 inches (61 cm) of clearance in front of the router chassis to enable working with line cards and power supplies, and attaching Network Interface Cable (NICs) or other components.

Location is temperature controlled, air conditioned, and dust free.
