Installation
Introduction
Installation procedures are similar for all four frames covered under this manual. Exceptions, if
any, have been noted in each of the following paragraphs.
Rack Mounting
Carefully inspect the frame to ensure that there has been no shipping damage. Make sure all
shipping material is removed from the router frame.
Important; Rear-mounting brackets must be installed prior to installation of the router into a
rack. The rear mounting brackets are contained in the accessory kit supplied with your router.
Each of the routing switchers described in this manual can be rack mounted in a standard 19"
(RU) EIA rack assembly and includes rack "ears" at the ends of the front of the frames. None of
the switcher models require spacing above or below the unit for ventilation. If ample space exists,
a 1RU spacing gap is recommended.
To rack mount any of the routing switchers, simply place the unit's rack ears against the rack rails
of the rack, and insert proper rack screws through each of the holes in the rack ears. Connect the
rear mounting brackets to the rear rack rail of the rack. Always rack mount the routing switcher
prior to plugging the unit into a power receptacle or attaching any cables.
