Installing the Chassis in a 2-Post Rack
This section describes how to install the chassis in a 2-post telco-style rack. Two people can lift an empty
router chassis using the handles on the sides. To accommodate racks with different hole patterns in their
mounting flanges, the chassis rack-mounting flanges have three groups of eight oblong screw holes on each
side.
An empty chassis weighs approximately 150 pounds (68 kg). You need two people to slide the chassis into
the equipment rack safely.
