Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco uBR7200 Series Router
Installing the Brackets on the Chassis
Note
The cable-management bracket must be installed on the right side of the Cisco uBR7246 and
Cisco uBR7246VXR chassis when viewed from the front.
Step 6
Thread four M3 x 6-mm Phillips panhead screws through the cable-management bracket and into the
chassis, and tighten the screws.
This completes the procedure for installing the rack-mount brackets and cable-management bracket on
the Cisco uBR7200 series router. Proceed to the following section, “
Installing the Chassis in the Rack
.”
Caution
To prevent injury, review the safety precautions in
Chapter 2, “Preparing the Cisco uBR7200 Series
Router for Installation,”
before installing the universal broadband router in a rack.
Installing the Chassis in the Rack
When installing the chassis in a rack, remove the paint from the rack and apply an anti-oxidant at the
contact points to ensure reliable metal-to-metal contact.
After installing the brackets on the chassis, mount the chassis by securing the rack-mount brackets to the
posts or mounting strips in the rack using the slotted screws provided.
Caution
Because the brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all of the required slotted
screws to fasten the two rack-mount brackets to the rack posts.

show typical installations in 19-inch,
four-post and telco-type equipment racks.
Warning
Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with
both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. To prevent
damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the
power supplies or on the interface processors, or by the plastic panels on the front of the chassis.
These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis.
