Before You Begin

Before installing E-series routers, be sure you:

•Have a plan for installing E-series routers. This plan should consider future expansion of your system.

•Have the tools and accessories needed to complete the installation.

•Read and understand the clearance requirements for the front and back of the chassis for cable routing and other unit access. See Environmental Requirements on page 3-2for more information.

•Prepare the equipment racks by measuring and marking space for each E-series router and plenum you will install.
