Procedure
Step 1
Install the front rack-mount brackets on the router as follows:
a) Determine which end of the chassis is to be located in the cold aisle as follows:
•
If the switch has port-side intake modules, position the module so that its ports will be in the cold
aisle.
•
If the switch has port-side exhaust modules, position the module so that its fan and power supply
modules will be in the cold aisle.
b) Position a front rack-mount bracket so that four of its screw holes are aligned to the screw holes on the
side of the router, and then use four M4 screws to attach the bracket to the router.
You can align any four of the holes in the front rack-mount bracket to four of the six screw holes
in the chassis. The holes that you use depend on the requirements of your rack.
