2 Prepare for Installation
This section contains information about tools and parts, warnings, site preparation information, and information for
workbench or tabletop installation and rack-mount installation.
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement
1030
Warning The ports labeled “Ethernet,” “10BaseT,” “Token Ring,” “Console,” and “AUX” are safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits. Because the BRI circuits are treated like
telephone-network voltage, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.
Statement 22
Before beginning this router installation, read the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco 7200 Series Routers
document at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/7200/install_and_upgrade/regulatory_compl_safety_7200/3419pnc6.html.
Site Preparation and Unpacking
•Lift the router safely out of the packing container.
•Ensure the power service at the site is suitable for the router you are installing.
•Check the packing slip to ensure that all the proper components are present.
•Locate and have accessible the Site Log for recording information about this installation.
Tools and Parts
Use the following list of tools and parts as a checklist for preparing to install the Cisco 7201 router:
•ESD-preventative wrist strap
•Power cord
•Appropriate cables to connect the router to the network, console port, and auxiliary port
•Tape measure and level (optional)
•Screwdrivers: Number 2 Phillips screwdriver and 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
•Wire stripper
•Chassis grounding lug and wires:
– A grounding lug with two number-10 screw holes with a 0.63-inch (16.002-mm) spacing between them
– A wire receptacle large enough to accept a 6-AWG multistrand, copper wire
– Two Phillips machine screws with locking washers—M5 (metric), 0.031-inch (.08-mm) pitch, 0.315-inch (8-mm) length
– A crimping tool to fit the grounding lug wire receptacle
– One grounding wire—6-AWG, 0.162-inch (4.115-mm) diameter, with approximately 0.108-inch (2.743-mm)
insulation, for a total wire diameter of approximately 0.27 inches (6.858 mm). The wire length depends on your router
location and site environment.
•The rack-mount and cable-management kit:
– Two rack-mount brackets and one cable-management bracket
– Screws: Four 6-32 x 0.25-inch screws, two M3 x 8-mm screws, four 10-32 or 12-24 screws, and one M4 x 20-mm screw

4
•(Optional) Any modules or disks not ordered with the chassis:
– Cisco USB Flash memory module or Aladdin USB eToken Pro key
– SFP module
– CompactFlash Disk
Prepare for Workbench or Tabletop Installation
For a workbench or tabletop installation, verify the following before installing the router:
•The router is off the floor and has adequate ventilation.
•An adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for the router.
•The router has at last 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust vents (front and back of router).
•The router has 19 inches (48.26 cm) of clearance at the front and rear to allow for CompactFlash Disk, SFP module, USB
module and port adapter replacement or installation, or to access cables or equipment.
•The port adapter blank panel is installed if a port adapter is not installed. The slot must not be empty.
Prepare for Rack-Mount Installation
Before you begin the rack-mounting tasks, decide whether or not you want to front- or rear-mount the chassis, decide whether
or not you want to attach the cable-management bracket, and determine the type of rack—four-post or two-post—that you will
be using. Also determine if you have any optional field-replaceable units to install, particularly if you are using SFP modules,
port adapters, or CompactFlash Disks that are at your site and have not been ordered with the router. See the “After Installation”
section on page 42 for instructions on installing these units.
If you ordered a port adapter, CompactFlash Disk, or SFP module with the router, they ship installed. If you ordered a USB Flash
memory module or Aladdin USB eToken Pro key, go to the “After Installation” section on page 42 for installation information.

3 Rack-Mount the Router
This section provides information for rack-mounting the router.
Attach the Rack-Mount Brackets—Chassis Front-Mounted
Figure 1 Attaching the Rack-Mount Brackets to the Front of the Chassis
To install the rack-mount brackets on a Cisco 7201 router for a front rack-mount configuration, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis.
Step 2 Align the rack-mount bracket to the rack-mount bracket holes on the side of the router.
Step 3 Remove any existing cover screws from the front sides of the chassis that align with the rack-mount bracket holes and
then realign the bracket. (You should have to remove one cover screw from each side of the chassis.)
Step 4 Insert and tighten two 6-32 x 0.25-in. screws in the two holes nearest the front of the chassis.
Step 5 Insert and tighten the longer M3 x 8-mm screw in the hole nearest the rear of the chassis. (This screw replaces the cover
screw that you removed in Step 3.)
Step 6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 on the other side of the router.
To install the cable-management bracket, see page 7. If you are not installing the cable-management bracket, skip to the
“Two-Post Rack Installation” section on page 8 or the “Four-Post Rack Installation” section on page 9 for rack-mount
instructions.

Two-Post Rack Installation
Note Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches (48.26 cm). The
height of the chassis is 1.73 inches (4.39 cm). Airflow through the chassis is from front to back.
Figure 4 Installing the Cisco 7201 Router in a Two-Post Rack
Step 1 Make sure that the port adapter lever is in the locked position.
Step 2 Make sure the rack brakes are locked or the rack is stabilized.
Step 3 Position the router so the front is closest to you and lift it carefully into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid any sudden
twists or moves.
Step 4 Slide the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the
rack.
Step 5 Keeping the brackets flush against the posts or mounting strips, align the holes in the brackets with the holes on the
rack or mounting strip.
Step 6 For each bracket, insert and tighten two 10-32 or 12-24 screws to the rack.
This completes the procedure for installing the chassis in the rack. Proceed to the “Chassis Ground Connection Installation”
section on page 10 to continue the installation.

Chassis Ground Connection Installation
Before you connect power or turn on power to your router, you must provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection
for the router chassis. A chassis ground connector is provided on each Cisco 7201 router chassis.
Figure 6 Locating the Chassis Ground Connector
Step 1 Use the wire stripper to strip one end of the 6-AWG wire approximately 0.75 inches (19.05 mm).
Step 2 Insert the 6-AWG wire into the wire receptacle on the grounding lug.
Step 3 Use the crimping tool to carefully crimp the wire receptacle around the wire; this step is required to ensure a proper
mechanical connection.
Figure 7 Attaching the Grounding Lug
Step 4 Attach the grounding lug with the wire on the left so the grounding wire does not overlap the power supply.
