4. Slide the router down so that the mounting screw heads are in the narrowest part of the
keyhole slots.
5. Tighten the screws to secure the router in place. For extra support, use additional screws.
NOTE
For better grounding of the router to the rack, attach the router using star washers. You should also
use star washers with any single-hole grounding lugs to keep the lugs from rotating.
6. Repeat step 2 through step 5 to mount each router in the rack, moving from lowest to highest.
