Installing Center-Mount Brackets—Optional
If you plan to install the router in the center-mount position, you must install the
center-mount brackets to the rack rails first. If you do not plan to use the optional
center-mount brackets, proceed directly to the
“Installing the Chassis in the Rack”
section on page 3-23
.
The optional center-mount bracket installation kit ships in the accessories box
included with the router and contains the following:
•
Two center-mount brackets.
•
10 (minimum) Phillips binderhead screws (usually provided with the bracket
kit) to secure the brackets to the mounting flanges (also called
rails
) in the
rack. Five screws should be installed on each bracket.
Contact a Cisco service representative for assistance if any parts are missing.
Note
Before installing the center-mount brackets, make sure you have performed the
measurements described in
“Verifying Rack Dimensions” section on page 3-17
.
Use the following procedure to install the center-mount brackets to the rack rails.
Step 1
Determine the location in which you want to position the bottom of the router
chassis in the rack, and mark holes at the same height on both the left and right
rack rails.
