You can mount an ACX5400 router in a four-post 19-in. rack or cabinet using the mounting kit provided
with the device.
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.
The front and rear rack rails must be spaced between 28 in. (71.1 cm) and 36 in. (91.4 cm) front to back.
Before You Begin Rack Installation
Before you begin mounting an ACX5400 router in the rack or cabinet:
1. Ensure that you understand how to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. See “Prevention of
Electrostatic Discharge Damage” on page 191.
2. Verify that the site meets the requirements described in “Site Preparation Checklist for ACX5448,
ACX5448-D, and ACX5448-M Routers” on page 63.
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 65, with particular attention to Chassis and Component Lifting
Guidelines.
5. Remove the router from the shipping carton. See “Unpack an ACX5400 Router” on page 86.
6. Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to mount the router in a rack:
