Tools Required to Install the Router in a Rack
To install the router in a rack, you need the following tools:
•
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
•
ESD grounding wrist strap
Install the MX104 Router in the Rack
The router can be installed horizontally in a rack or cabinet.
Two people are required to install the MX104 router. The chassis weighs approximately 32 lb (14.5 kg).
To install the chassis (see Figure 3 on page 8):
1. Ensure that the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure that the installation
site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and maintenance.
2. Position the router in front of the rack or cabinet.
3. Have one person grasp both sides of the router, lift the router, and position it in the rack, aligning the
mounting bracket holes with the threaded holes in the rack rails. Make sure the chassis is level.
4. Have the second person install a mounting screw into each of the open mounting holes aligned with
the rack, starting from the bottom.
5. Visually inspect the alignment of the router. If the router is installed properly in the rack, all the mounting
screws on one side of the rack should be aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side, and
the router should be level.
