Rack-Mounting Brackets

Front rack-mounting ears are built into the chassis sides, as shown in Figure 23. If requested, a center rack-mounting kit can be shipped with the router (see Figure 24). You attach center rack-mounting ears along the middle of either side of the chassis with the screws provided.

A C-bracket shelf can also be requested, to provide additional support when a router is mounted above another router (in the upper half of the rack). A router mounted in the lowest position in the rack is supported by the floor or by the bottom rack rail, so the C-bracket shelf is not required in that case. Figure 24 shows the C-bracket shelf.

Side handles can also be requested (see Figure 25), to make it easier to lift the chassis into the rack. They are recommended if a mechanical lift is not used.
