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

Rack-Mounting Cisco 3600 Series Routers

Attaching Brackets to the Router

To install the router in a rack, attach brackets to your router chassis as shown in Figure 4 through

Figure 16, depending on your installation needs:

• Front Panel Forward Installation, page 8

• Rear Panel Forward Installation, page 11

• Center-Mount Installation, page 13

Note Use the Cisco-supplied screws for this installation.

Note If you are installing a Cisco 3620 or Cisco 3640 router in a 19-inch rack with a 17.5-inch

opening, orient the rack-mount brackets so that, when installed, they do not increase the width of the

chassis. (See Figure 4 and Figure 9.)

If you are installing a Cisco 3620 or Cisco 3640 router in a 19-inch EIA-standard rack with a

17.75-inch opening, orient the rack-mount brackets so that, when installed, they increase the width

of the chassis. (See Figure 5 and Figure 10.)

If you are installing a Cisco 3660 router in a 19-inch rack (with a 17.5- or 17.75-inch opening), orient

the rack-mount brackets so that, when installed, they increase the width of the chassis. (See Figure 7

and Figure 12.)

Front Panel Forward Installation

Figure 4 through Figure 6 show the Cisco 3620 and Cisco 3640 routers; Figure 7 and Figure 8 show

the Cisco 3660 router.

Note When installed in a 19-inch rack with a 17.5-inch opening, the Cisco 3620 and 3640 routers

will protrude beyond the front of the rack.
