Mounting the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A Router in a Rack
Typically, the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router mounts to a 19-inch (48.3-cm) two-post equipment rack
with rack-mounting brackets that attach to the front sides of the router. The inside width between the two
posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17.5 inches (44.45 cm), see
“Hardware
Description” section on page 1-6
for information about the equipment rack.
Even though the inlet and exhaust ports for cooling air are located on the left and right front sides and
on the rear of the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router, respectively, it is recommended that multiple routers
be stacked in a rack with at least a 1-inch (2.54-cm) vertical clearance. This is due to the location of the
AIM for ATM daughter card in the router and the tendency of the power cables to press on the location
of the AIM for ATM card when installed.
To secure the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router to the equipment rack, you must use the four mounting
screws (provided) for each side or follow your local practices for installing the router into your
equipment rack. Ensure that the rack-mount brackets have been securely fastened (see the
“Attaching the
Rack-Mounting Brackets” section on page 3-3
for more information.
To mount the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router into the equipment rack, perform the following procedure.
Caution
To prevent injury, review the
“Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-2
and the
“Rack-Mounting
Configuration Guidelines” section on page 3-3
before installing the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router in
the equipment rack.
Step 1
Locate the equipment rack position you plan to install the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router into.
Step 2
Verify that there are no obstructions and ensure that the equipment rack is stabilized.
Step 3
Position the Cisco MWR 1941-DC-A router in the equipment rack lining up the bracket holes on the
router with the holes on the rack and secure with four #12-24 x 0.37-inch mounting screws (each side).
