Rack-Mounted Installation

We recommend that you use a standard EIA distribution rack. See “Equipment

Rack Requirements” on page 133 for detailed rack information.

Installation Guidelines

Before installing the systems in a rack, consider the following guidelines and refer to Figure 15:

You can install up to 3 ERX-14xx models, 6 ERX-7xx models, or 14 ERX-310 routers in a single 7-ft. (2.1 m) rack.

Installing multiple systems in a single rack enables you to maximize your available space.
