Caution
Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 lb (4.5 kg). Excessive weight on

Mounting the Chassis in a Rack
This section describes the procedures for rack-mounting the chassis. Cisco 2600 series routers with a
chassis height of 1 rack-unit (1RU) ship with brackets for use with a 19-inch rack or, if specified in your
order, optional larger brackets for use with a 23- or 24-inch rack. Cisco 2600 series routers with a chassis
height of 2 rack-units (2RU) ship with brackets for use with a 19-inch rack. The brackets are shown in
Figure 3-4
and
