T320 Chassis Description
The T320 Core Router chassis is a rigid sheet metal structure that houses all the other router components (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). The chassis measures 25.13 in. (63.82 cm) high, 31.4 in. (79.8 cm) deep, and 17.43 in. (44.3 cm) wide. The chassis can be installed into many types of racks or cabinets. For more information, see T320 Rack Requirements.
The chassis includes the following features (see Figure 1 and Figure 2):
- Two pairs of metal brackets, one for center-mounting and one for front-mounting or mounting in a four-post rack or cabinet.
- Handles on each side to facilitate positioning the router in the rack. Do not use the handles to lift the router.
- Two electrostatic discharge (ESD) points (banana plug
receptacles), one front and one rear.
Warning: Before removing or installing any components of a functioning router, attach an ESD strap to one of the two ESD points on the chassis and attach the other end of the strap around your bare wrist. Failure to use an ESD strap could result in damage to the router and its components.
