Prepare Rack for Chassis Installation
Install the Cisco 8100 Series Routers on a standard 19 inch, Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) rack with
mounting rails that conform to English universal hole spacing according to Section 1 of the
ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992 standard.
The Cisco 8102-64H-O router rack mount kit contains the rack mounting brackets for 19-inch rack. To install
the chassis in a 23-inch rack or an ETSI rack, you need adapter plates to accommodate the 19-inch rack mount
brackets.
Note

to accommodate the width of the chassis.
Before you move the chassis or mount the chassis into the rack, we recommend that you do the following:
