Rack Mount
Installing the router in a rack requires an optional bracket kit that is not included with the router. You can
order these kits from your Cisco representative.
Cisco 900 Series Routers are fanless. When stacking multiple Cisco 900 ISRs, ensure that there is ample
surrounding space. Ample space, in turn, ensures more heat removal to enable the surrounding air temperature
to stay within the specified operating conditions. A minimum of 1RU space is required above and below the
router in the rack for proper ventilation. Refer Figure 13: Mounting the Cisco ISR 900 Series Router in a
Rack, on page 20
Note
Attach the Brackets to the Router
This procedure describes how to attach the brackets on the router chassis:
Attach a 19-inch bracket to one side of the router using flat-head screw (Refer Figure 10: Flat-head Machine Screws, on
page 19). Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.
