Install the Router Without a Mechanical Lift
Lifting the chassis and mounting it in a rack requires two people. The empty chassis
weighs approximately 65.5 lb (29.7 kg).
1. Ensure that the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building.
2. Position the router in front of the rack or cabinet, centering it in front of the mounting
shelf. Use a pallet jack if one is available.
3. With one person on each side, hold onto the bottom of the chassis and carefully lift
it onto the small mounting shelf.
4. Slide the router onto the mounting shelf until the mounting brackets contact the rack
rails. The shelf ensures that the holes in the mounting brackets and the front-mounting
flanges of the chassis align with the holes in the rack rails.
5. To install the router in an open-frame rack, install a mounting screw into each of the
open mounting holes aligned with the rack, starting from the bottom.
6. 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.
