For four post rack or cabinet installations, the mounting kit contains two front mounting rails with two
matching rear mounting blades. This configuration allows either end of the router to be mounted flush
with the rack and still be adjustable for racks with different depths.
For ACX5048 routers, space the front and rear rack rails between 23 in. (58.5 cm) and 30.25 in. (76.8 cm)
front-to-back.
The mounting kit for the ACX5096 has mounting rails, blades, and brackets for the four-post configuration.
The front and rear rack rails must be spaced between 28 in. (71.1 cm) and 36 in. (91.4 cm) front to back.

3. Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance, and
secure it to the building structure.
4. Read “General Site Guidelines” on page 80, with particular attention to “Chassis and Component Lifting
Guidelines” on page 165.
5. Remove the router from the shipping carton. See “Unpacking an ACX5000 Router” on page 102.
