To mount the chassis on a four-post rack, you must first install the mounting hardware in the rack. The
router comeswith a four-piece set of brackets that supports the chassis in the rack. This rack mount kit,
EX-MOD-RMK-4POST, can be ordered as a spare.
NOTE: An MX10016 cannot be installed in a two-post installation rack.
The main pieces of the rack mount kit are:
•
One left base bracket. The bracket is labeled LEFT FRONT on the side of the bracket that faces the
interior of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack.
•
One right base bracket. The bracket is labeled RIGHT FRONT on the side of the bracket that faces the
interior of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack.
•
Two rear brackets. These brackets are labeled REAR on the side of the bracket that faces the interior
of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack. The rear brackets are interchangeable;
you can use either of the rear brackets with the right or left base bracket.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the mounting hardware:
•
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1, 2, or 3, depending on the size of your rack screws
•
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2, to install the screws that connect the rear and base brackets
•
12 Phillips flat-head screws (provided)
•
14 rack screws appropriate for your rack to attach the mounting hardware to the rack (not provided)
When you install the base and rear brackets, the adjustable portion of the brackets overlap. Use the overlap
area to adjust the total bracket length to fit any of the four standard rack sizes: 19 in. (483 mm), 23.62 in.
(600 mm), 30 in. (762 mm), or 31.5 in. (800 mm).
To install the mounting hardware in a four-post rack:
1. Remove the mounting brackets from the rack mount kit box.
2. Decide where to place the chassis in the rack. If the rack is empty, mount the router in the lowest
possible location. See “MX10016 Rack Requirements” on page 93 for the router being installed.
3. Position the left base bracket at the desired position in the left side of the rack and line up its front
screw holes with the holes in the rack. Use four mounting screws appropriate for your rack to attach
the left base bracket to the rack.
4. Position one of the rear brackets at the left rear of the rack on the same level as the left base bracket,
so that the rear bracket overlaps with the left bracket. The screw holes for connecting the base and
