a) Position the router with the front rack mounts aligned at the location shown in the following image and
assemble on rack using one screw on either side (12-24 screws or 10-32 screws depending on the rack
type.
Figure 11: Slide the Cisco NCS 5002 Router
For racks with square holes, you might need to position a 12-24 cage nut behind each mounting
hole in a slider rail before using a 12-24 screw.
Note
b) Repeat with the other slider rail on the other side of the rack.
c) Use the tape measure and level to verify that the rails are at the same height and horizontal.
Step 4
Insert the router into the rack and attach it as follows:
a) Holding the router with both hands, position the back of the router between the front posts of the rack.
b) Align the two rear rack-mount guides on either side of the router with the slider rails installed in the rack.
Slide the rack-mount guides onto the slider rails, and then gently slide the router all the way into the rack.
If the router does not slide easily, try realigning the rack-mount guides on the slider
rails.
Note
c) Holding the router level, insert two screws (12-24 or 10-32, depending on the rack type) through the cage
nuts and the holes in one of the front rack-mount brackets and into the threaded holes in the rack-mounting
rail.
d) Repeat for the other front rack-mount bracket on the other side of the router.
