Installing the Router
Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount and Cable-Management Brackets
This section explains how to install the rack-mount and cable-management brackets at the front and the
rear of a Cisco 7401ASR router. Before installing the chassis in the rack, you must install a rack-mount
bracket on each side of the front or rear of the chassis.
The parts and tools required for installing the rack-mount brackets and cable-management bracket are
listed in the
“Tools and Parts Required” section on page 2-2
.
Installing Rack-Mount Brackets on the Front of the Chassis
Figure 2-3
Attaching the Rack-Mount Brackets to the Front of the Chassis
Determine whether you want the chassis to be flush-mounted or recessed.
Figure 2-3
shows the brackets
being attached for a front rack-mount. Depending on the bracket holes you use, the router will protrude
or be recessed in the rack.
To install the rack-mount and cable-management brackets on a Cisco 7401ASR router for a front
rack-mount configuration, complete the following steps:
Step 1
Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis.
Step 2
Align the rack-mount bracket (1) to the side of the router. Depending on which set of rack-mount bracket
holes you choose to use to attach the rack-mount bracket to the router, the chassis will either be recessed
in the rack or protrude from the rack.
Step 3
Insert and tighten two screws (2).
Step 4
Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on the other side of the router.
This completes the steps for attaching the rack-mount brackets to the Cisco 7401ASR router.
To install the cable-management bracket, go to
“Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket” section on
page 2-8
. If you are not installing the cable-management bracket, go to the
“Installing the Chassis in the
Rack” section on page 2-9
