Chapter 3 Installing and Connecting the Router
Installing the Router
Tip
For both the 19-inch EIA brackets and the 23-inch SBC brackets, start the lower pair of screws first, and
rest the brackets on the lower screws while you insert the upper pair of screws.
Tip
The screw slots in the brackets are spaced to line up with every
second
pair of screw holes in the rack.
When the correct screw holes are used, the small threaded holes in the brackets line up with unused screw
holes in the rack. If the small holes do not line up with the rack holes, you must raise or lower the
brackets to the next rack hole.
Warning
To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the
handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed
to support the weight of the unit.
Statement 1032
Caution
Be sure to leave space above and below each router in a rack to allow for cooling air circulation.
Figure 3-5
shows a typical installation in a rack.
Warning
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to
ensure your safety:
•
This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
•
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest
component at the bottom of the rack.
•
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in
the rack.
