CAUTION: Mount the chassis securely, and then install line cards and other
components in the secured chassis.
CAUTION: Before mounting the router on a rack or cabinet, have a qualified technician
verify that the rack is strong enough to support the router's weight and is adequately
supported at the installation site.
CAUTION: If you are mounting multiple units on a rack, plan to mount the first router at
the bottom of the rack. Mount the heaviest unit at the bottom of the rack. Mount the
other units from the bottom of the rack to the top in decreasing order of weight:
heaviest unit on the bottom, lightest unit at the top.
To mount the router:
1.
Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the
other end to a site ESD point.
2.
Attach the mounting blades to the front rack posts by using six rack mount screws appropriate for
your rack and a screwdriver (see
).
