Installation Guidelines
•
Check the modules in each slot. Ensure that the configuration matches the packing list and that all
the specified interfaces are included.
Installation Guidelines
Before installing the chassis, ensure that the equipment rack complies with the following guidelines:
•
The width of the rack, measured between the two front mounting strips or rails, must be 17.75 inches
(45.09 cm).
•
The depth of the rack, measured between the front and rear mounting strips, must be at least
19.25 inches (48.9 cm) but not more than 32 inches (81.3 cm).
•
The rack must have sufficient vertical clearance to insert the chassis. The chassis heights are as
follows:
–
Cisco 7603 Router—7 inches (17.8 cm) (4 RU)
–
Cisco 7603-S Router—7 inches (17.8 cm) (4 RU)
–
Cisco 7604 router—8.7 inches (22.09 cm) (5 RU)
–
Cisco 7606 Router—12.25 inches (31.11 cm) (7 RU)

–
Cisco 7609 Router—36.75 inches (93.35 cm) (21 RU)
–
Cisco 7609-S Router—36.75 inches (93.35 cm) (21 RU)

Note
Chassis height is measured in rack units (RU).
Caution
If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.
Note
We recommend that you maintain a minimum air space of 6 inches (15 cm) between walls and the chassis
air vents and a minimum horizontal separation of 12 inches (30.5 cm) between two chassis to prevent
overheating.
The installation hardware is not suitable for use with racks with obstructions (such as a power strip) that
could impair access to field-replaceable units (FRUs).
