Installing the J2300 Services Router into a Rack

You can front-mount the J2300 Services Router in a rack. The router is shipped with mounting brackets in the accessory box. Many types of racks are acceptable, including four-post (telco) racks, enclosed cabinets, and open-frame racks. For more information about the type of rack or cabinet the J-series router can be installed into, see Rack Requirements.

If you are installing multiple routers in one rack, install the lowest one first and proceed upward in the rack.

The chassis weighs up to 12 lb (5.4 kg). Installing it into the rack requires one person to lift and a second person to secure the mounting screws.

To install the J2300 router into a rack:

1. Position a mounting bracket on each side of the chassis as shown in Figure 22.
2. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to install the screws that secure the mounting brackets to the chassis.
3. Have one person grasp the sides of the router, lift the router, and position it in the rack.
4. Align the bottom hole in each mounting bracket with a hole in each rack rail, making sure the chassis is level.
5. Have a second person install a mounting screw into each of the two aligned holes. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.
6. Install the second screw in each mounting bracket.
7. Verify that the mounting screws on one side of the rack are aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side and that the router is level.
