Four or more people are required to position the unpopulated router into the rack.
Do not use the handles on the power supply units or fan modules to position the router.

NOTE
Make sure your site provides 200-240V power.
Installing your 32-slot device in a 2-post rack or open cabinet
NOTE
Because of the weight of a fully-populated 32-slot chassis, it is not recommended that you install your 32-slot router in a 2-post
rack or open cabinet. The preferred installation is in a 4-post rack or open cabinet. Refer to “Installing your 32-slot router in a
4-post rack or open cabinet” on page 95 for installation instructions
You can install your 32-slot device in a 2-post rack or open cabinet in either a front-mount configuration or a mid-mount configuration
using the factory-installed mounting brackets. For a mid-mount configuration, simply remove the factory-installed mounting brackets
from the front edges of the device and re-attach them to the center sides of the device using the pre-drilled holes.
Once you have completed the preliminary installation preparations (refer to “Preliminary rack mount installation steps” on page 89),
complete the following steps to install your device in a 2-post rack or cabinet.
1. Unpack the Open Frame EIA 310-D Rack Mount Kit. Refer to the following table and Figure 63 for a list and illustration of the kit
