Installing a NetIron XMR 16000 router
1. Determine the position of each router in the rack. For example, mount a router with the fewest modules near the top, a router with
more modules near the middle, and a fully populated router near the bottom of the rack.
2. Position the four mounting screws for each router in the rack posts according to the spacings of the keyhole slots (the ones with
the narrow portion pointing up) on the mounting brackets as shown in Figure 109. When tightening the screws, leave
approximately 1/4 inch clearance between the back of the screw head and the rack post.

3. Mount in the router that will have the lowest position in the rack first, as shown in Figure 110. With two or more people lifting the
router, slip the wide portion of each keyhole slot over the corresponding screw in the rack.
