Installing the Chassis in a Rack

You install the chassis in the equipment rack by setting the chassis in position against the rack rails and then securing it to the rack or optional center-mounting brackets with screws through holes in the rack-mounting flanges on either side of the chassis.

To accommodate racks with different hole patterns in their rails, the chassis rack-mounting flanges have two groups of eight oblong screw holes on either side as shown in Figure 3-3. The mounting holes in the chassis flanges are spaced so that one mounting hole in each hole group aligns with a hole in the rack rail or optional center-mounting bracket. By using the corresponding mounting hole (in the same hole group) on the opposite side of the chassis, you can level the chassis in the rack.

Warning Two or more people should install the router to minimize the risk of personal injury and damage to the equipment.

Refer to Figure 3-3 and use the following procedure to install the chassis in a rack.

Step 1 Move the router as close to the installation location as possible without interfering with the installation process.

Step 2 With one person lifting from the front and one from the rear of the chassis, lift the chassis off the pallet and position the chassis in the rack.

Note A third person might be needed to assist in lifting and positioning the chassis in the rack.

Step 3 Install the screws to secure the chassis to the rack:

a.Look at the bottom mounting holes on the chassis rack-mount flanges. Align one of the holes with a mounting hole in the rack.

b.Install one of the mounting screws provided.

c.On the other side of the chassis, adjust the position of the chassis so that the same mounting hole in the bottom group of mounting holes is aligned with a hole in the rack.

d.Install one of the mounting screws provided.
