For open-frame racks, center-mounting the chassis is preferable to front-mounting
because the more even distribution of weight provides greater stability. You use the
center-mounting brackets to center-mount the chassis in an open-frame rack; you use
the front-mounting flanges to front-mount the chassis in an open-frame rack.

Installing Cage Nuts, If Needed
Install cage nuts, if needed:
1.
On each front rack rail, install a cage nut 0.88 in. (2.2 cm) up from the bottom of a U
division.
2.
Insert a cage nut behind each hole where you plan to install the flanges of the mounting
shelf.
Installing the Mounting Shelf in an Open-Frame Rack
To install the mounting shelf in an open-frame rack:
1.
On the front of each front rack rail, partially insert a mounting screw 0.88 in. (2.2 cm)
up from the bottom of a U division.
2.
Install the shelf on the front rack rails. Rest the bottom slot of each flange on one of
the mounting screws.
3.
Partially insert a mounting screw into the top hole in each flange of the shelf.
4.
Tighten all the screws completely.
Removing the Center-Mounting Brackets
If you plan to front-mount the router, remove the center-mounting brackets.

Loosen the screws at the top and bottom of each bracket.
2.
Remove the brackets from both sides of the chassis.
