Installing the ARN/DC

When you are ready to install the ARN/DC, you can do one of the following:

• Position the ARN/DC on a flat, sturdy, horizontal surface.

• Mount the ARN/DC in a standard equipment rack.

Positioning the ARN/DC on a Flat Surface

When positioning the ARN/DC on a flat surface, make sure that the surface is

• Large enough for the ARN/DC to operate properly

• Sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the ARN/DC and any

cables you attach

We recommend that you place the self-adhesive rubber feet on the bottom of the

ARN/DC chassis (shipped with the ARN/DC). These feet protect the surface on

which you position the ARN/DC and provide added friction against the weight of

any cables you attach.

Rack-Mounting the ARN/DC

For this procedure, you need

• Two flange brackets and ten #6 flathead screws (shipped with the ARN/DC).

• A Phillips screwdriver.

• A standard 19-in. equipment rack. If the rack does not have threaded rail

holes, you must attach the four cage nuts shipped with the ARN/DC.

• Four #10 cagenut screws and washers (shipped with the ARN/DC).

To rack-mount the ARN/DC:

Determine how you want the ARN/DC to fit in the equipment rack.

Multiple holes in the flange brackets provide several options for

rack-mounting the ARN/DC. How you attach the flange brackets determines

how far the router extends outside or remains inside the rack. Figure 1-2

shows three of the most common locations for the brackets.
