Rack-Mount Installation Guidelines
• Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance.You need 36 in. (91.44 cm) of clearance to remove and replace
system components.
• Always place the heavier equipment in the lower half of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting the chassis.
• Make sure that open or relay racks are bolted to the floor.
• When mounting the chassis in four-post or relay racks, use all the screws and brackets that are provided.
4 Installing the Chassis
The Cisco uBR7225VXR routers may be installed on a tabletop or rack-mounted. A rack-mount kit ships from the factory with
each router. The rack-mount kit includes the hardware used to mount the router in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or
Telco-type rack.
Attaching the Rack-Mount Brackets
Before installing the chassis in the rack, you must install rack-mount brackets on each side of the front, middle, or rear of the
chassis. (See Figure 4.) You can use the cable-management bracket if you are rack-mounting the chassis from the front. If you
are rack-mounting the chassis at the rear or middle of the chassis, both rack-mount brackets and the cable-management bracket
must be installed on the chassis before the chassis is installed in the rack.
