Rack-Mounting Requirements
•
You can install the router in a four-post rack or cabinet.
NOTE: The shipping and installation site must be an ESD approved area.
•
The rack rails must be spaced wide enough to accommodate the router chassis's external dimensions:
78.75 in. (200 cm) high, 36.20 in. (91.95 cm) deep, and 19 in. (48.3 cm) wide (see Figure 64 on page 148).
NOTE: A typical four-post rack measures 84 in. (213.4 cm) high, 24 in. (61 cm) to
30 in. (76.2 cm) deep, and 19 in. (48.3 cm) wide.
NOTE: The dimensions also include the standard cable management system and standard
EMI covers.
•
The rack must be able to accommodate the additional depth of the extended cable management system,
37.46 in. (95.1 cm) deep (see Figure 64 on page 148).
•
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured router, up to 1,500 lb
(681.8 kg). See Table 40 on page 146 for MX2020 shipping weight specifications.
