Nortel Networks Passport ARN Routers manual Rack-Mounting the ARN

Installing and Operating Passport ARN Routers

Rack-Mounting the ARN

For this procedure, you need:

•Two flange brackets and eight #6 Phillips screws (shipped with the ARN)

•A Phillips screwdriver

•An electronic enclosure rack. If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you must attach the four cage nuts shipped with the ARN.

•Four #10 cagenut screws and washers (shipped with the ARN)

To rack-mount the ARN:

1.Determine how you want the ARN to fit in the equipment rack.

Multiple holes in the flange brackets provide several options for rack-mounting the ARN. How you attach the flange brackets determines how far the router extends outside or remains inside the rack. Figure 1-2 shows three of the most common locations for the brackets.

2.Attach a flange bracket to each side of the ARN.

a.Align four bracket holes with four holes in the ARN enclosure (Figure 1-2).

b.Insert a #6 Phillips screw through each hole and into the ARN.

c.Tighten the four screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
