How to Install Cisco Mounting Rail Kit for Router
- Power down and unplug the Cisco router and any connected peripherals. Ensure you follow all safety procedures and lockout/tagout guidelines as applicable to your environment.
- Attach the mounting rails to the router chassis according to the kit’s included instructions. Align the rails with the router’s mounting holes and secure them with the provided screws or fasteners, ensuring a firm, level fit.
- Prepare the 19-inch rack by verifying that it is clean, level, and capable of supporting the router’s weight. Install any crossbars or accessories required by your rack configuration to provide a stable foundation.
- Slide the router with rails into the rack, guiding it into position while keeping cables clear of the rails. Secure the rails to the rack posts at the specified mounting points, ensuring the device sits squarely and evenly.
- Route power and data cables neatly, using cable management guides provided in the kit. Tighten strain-relief points to prevent movement under load, and verify airflow clearance around the unit before powering up the equipment.
