Rack-Mounting and Wall-Mounting Cisco 3600 Series Routers and the Cisco Redundant Power System 25

Rack-Mounting the Cisco 600-Watt Redundant AC Power System

This section describes how to rack-mount the Cisco RPS. The illustrations in this section show how

to attach the brackets for use in 23- or 24-inch equipment racks, although the procedure is the same

regardless of the size of the brackets. To mount a Cisco 3600 series router, go back to the section

“Rack-Mounting Cisco 3600 Series Routers” section on page 6.

Required Tools and Equipment

To rack-mount the Cisco RPS, you will need the following tools and equipment (which are not

included):

• Cisco RPS (PWR600-AC-RPS)

• Equipment rack

• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver

• ESD-preventive wrist strap

• Screws for attaching the RPS to the rack

The Cisco RPS ships with one set of 19-inch rack-mount brackets. (You can order 23- or 24-inch

brackets separately.) Figure 32 shows the rack-mount brackets.
