Setting Up the Chassis

Step 4 Place the router right-side up on a ﬂat, smooth, secure surface.

Caution Do not place anything on top of the router that weighs more than 10 pounds

(4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top could damage the chassis.

Rack-Mounting the Chassis

This section describes the procedures for rack-mounting the chassis. The chassis comes

with brackets for use with a 19-inch rack or, if speciﬁed in your order, optional larger

brackets for use with a 24-inch rack. The brackets are shown in Figure 3-3.
