•
In a four-post rack, install the mounting hardware at the desired position (see “Installing the Mounting
Hardware” on page 140).
•
Review chassis lifting guidelines described in “MX10008 Chassis Lifting Guidelines” on page 319.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the router:
•
A mechanical lift rated for 350 lb (158.8 kg)
•
14 mounting screws appropriate for your rack
•
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 or number 3, depending on the size of your mounting screws
CAUTION: If you are installing more than one router in a rack or cabinet, install the first
router at the bottom of the rack.
To install the router using a mechanical lift (see Figure 52 on page 145):
1. Ensure that the rack or cabinet is placed in its permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure
that the installation site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and maintenance. For details, see
“MX10008 Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance” on page 98.
2. Load the router onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform.
