Prepare Rack for Router Installation
Install the chassis into a two-post standard rack with standard horizontal mounting rails. Before you mount
the chassis into the rack, we recommend that you do the following:
Step 1
Place the rack where you plan to install the chassis. Ensure that the rack is grounded to earth.
Step 2
Secure the rack to the floor.
To bolt the rack to the floor, a floor bolt kit (also called an anchor embedment kit) is required. For information on bolting
the rack to the floor, consult a company that specializes in floor mounting kits (such as Hilti; see
for details).
Make sure that floor mounting bolts are accessible, especially if an annual retorquing of bolts is required.
