Chapter 3 Installing a Cisco 7200 VXR Router
Rack-Mounting a Cisco 7200 VXR Router
Figure 3-5 Rack-Mounting the Chassis in a Four-Post Rack with Installed
Cable-Management Brackets—Front Installation Shown
If you are rack-mounting a Cisco 7200 VXR router from the rear, the rack-mount brackets are installed
at the rear of the chassis, and the cable-management brackets are installed at the front of the chassis. You
must install both sets of brackets before you install the chassis in the rack.
Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount and Cable-Management Brackets
This section explains how to install the rack-mount and cable-management brackets at the front and the
rear of a Cisco
7200 VXR router. Before installing the chassis in the rack, you must install a rack-mount
bracket on each side of the front or rear of the chassis. If you are rack-mounting the chassis from the
front and you plan to use the cable-management brackets, you must install the cable-management
brackets when you install the rack-mount brackets on the chassis.
If you are rack-mounting the chassis from the rear, you may install the rack-mount and
cable-management brackets separately; however, both sets of brackets must be installed on the chassis
before the chassis is installed in the rack.
The parts and tools required for installing the rack-mount and cable-management brackets are listed in
Chapter 2, “Preparing for Installation,” the “Tools and Parts Required” section on page 2-1.
