Installation
CAUTION: To prevent static shock, which can damage electrical equipment, use
industry accepted handling practices when unpacking and moving the router and its
components. See Appendix A, “Electrostatic Discharge” for more information.
Selecting a Location
The router can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. When
considering a location for the router, make sure the airflow area surrounding the front
and the back of the router is unobstructed.
Unpacking the Box
To unpack the router box:
1. Remove all items from the shipping container. Check each one for damage. Keep
the router in the protective bag until ready to install.
2. Refer to the packing slip or contents list to make sure all the equipment was
received. If an item is missing, contact your sales representative immediately.
Mounting the Router on a Desktop
To mount the router on a desktop:
1. Remove the router from the protective bag.
CAUTION: Place the router onto a smooth surface away from any potential
exposure to direct sunlight, liquids or vapors, excessive heat, or risk of accidental
dropping or other damage.
2. Attach the stick-on feet to the bottom four corners of the unit.
3. Place the router on the table or desktop, making sure the intake and exhaust vents
are clear of obstructions.

Installation
Installing the Router in a Rack
The following items in the router kit are used to rack-mount the router:
•
•
•
•
Mounting rails
Extender brackets
Bag of mounting hardware (8 #10-32x.6 Phillips screws, 8 #6-32x.312 Phillips
screws)
Compaq bezel blank
NOTE: The installation process requires a #2 Phillips and a #2 flat-head screwdriver.
To install the router in the rack:
1. Remove the router from its protective bag.
CAUTION: Place the router onto a smooth surface away from any potential
exposure to direct sunlight, liquids or vapors, excessive heat, or risk of accidental
dropping or other damage.
2. Determine where the router will be mounted, making sure that the airflow vents
remain clear of obstructions.
3. Separate the inner rail from the outer rail assemblies.
See Figure 2-1 for an illustration.
a. Place a thumb or finger over the circular grasping hole at the front-end of the
inner rail.
b. Extend the inner rail out from the outer rail assembly until it locks into place.
c. Press the spring latch on the back-side of the inner rail to release the lock.
While holding down the spring latch, extend the inner rail until the two rails
separate.

d. Repeat Step 3 to separate the other set of rails.
4. Attach the front-end and back-end of each outer rail assembly to the rack.
a. Determine the location in the rack for the router.
NOTE: The size of the router and its rail assembly is 1U.
b. Align the three screw holes on the front-end of the outer rail assembly with
the equally spaced holes on the front of the rack.
All three holes must be aligned exactly. If the holes do not exactly match up,
the outer rail assembly is not positioned correctly on the rack. See Figure 2-2
for an example of rack front styles and hole alignments.

Installation
Figure 2-2: Aligning the bracket face with the rack
c. With the outer rail assembly face flush against the inside front of the
rack-mounting holes, insert and tighten the top and bottom screws of the
bracket face. Use two of the 10-32x.6 Phillips screws.
Do not insert a screw in the center hole of the bracket face. This hole will be
used when the front bezel blank is mounted to the rack.
d. Loosen the flat-head screw on the rear extension bracket of the outer rail
assembly.
e. While holding the outer rail assembly level, extend the rear extension bracket
to the inside rear of the rack.
WARNING: To reduce injury or equipment damage, the rails must be level.
If the rails are not level, the router cannot be installed correctly and might
fall.
f. Attach the rear extension-bracket face to the rear of the rack, using two of the
10-32x.6 Phillips screws.
g. With the outer rail assembly in place, tighten the flat-head screw that
connects the rear extension bracket to the outer rail.
h. Repeat Step 4 to attach the other outer rail assembly to the other side of the
rack.
