Installing the Router
Install the router after you have completed the installation preparations.

Installing the Router on a Workbench
In many circumstances, you may not own a 19-inch standard rack. Usually, the router will be installed on
a clean workbench. The operations are very simple, but still, you should be aware of the following items:
z Ensure the stability and well-grounding of the workbench.
z Leave a space of 10 cm (3.9 in.) around the router for heat dissipation.
z Do not place heavy objects on the router.

Installation process
Step 1: Check the grounding and stability of the rack. Use the screws to fix the mounting ears at both
sides of the front panel or the rear panel of the router.
Step 2: Put the router in a rack tray. For MSR 30-16/30-20 routers, use mounting ears on the rear panel
if no tray is available. Depending on the actual situation, slide the router along the chassis guides to an
appropriate place.
