Before you begin
To install the router on a 23-inch rack, install the extension brackets on the 23-inch rack post (see Install the
Extension Plate on 23-inch Rack Post ) and then continue with this procedure.
Procedure
Step 1 Install the slider assembly on the rack as follows:
a) Align the left slider assembly to the rear post rack holes. The slider rail should be at the bottom.
b) Use four 12-24 Phillips pan-head screws with 30 in-lb (3.39 N.m) to attach the slider assembly to the rear
post.
c) Repeat Steps 2a and 2b with the other slider assembly on the other side of the router.

Note
In case of a 23-inch 2-post rack, mount the slider assembly on the extension brackets following the same
procedure outlined in Step 2.
Step 2 Install slider brackets to the router as follows:
a) Determine which end of the chassis is to be located in the cold aisle as follows:
• If the router has port-side intake modules, position the router so that the ports are in the cold aisle.
• If the router has port-side exhaust modules, position the router so that the fan and power supply
modules are in the cold aisle.
