Chapter 3 Installing Cisco uBR7100 Series Universal Broadband Routers
Physical Placement
Rack-Mounting the Chassis
Tip If you rack-mount the router with the back panel forward, attach the system ground connection before
you rack-mount the router. For instructions on how to connect the system ground, see the next section,
“Attaching the System Ground Connection.”
Warning
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure
your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest
component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the
rack.
Statement 1006
Tip If using an external upconverter, it should be mounted either above or below the Cisco uBR7100 series
router to minimize the length of cable connecting the downstream port to the upconverter.
This section describes how to rack-mount the chassis in a standard four-post equipment rack. The router
is shipped with 19-inch rack-mount brackets; larger brackets for use with a 23- or 24-inch rack are
available separately (the product number is ACS-7100-RMK=).
See Figure 3-2 illustrates the rack-mount brackets that are used with the Cisco uBR7100 series routers:
Figure 3-2 Standard Rack-Mount Brackets
Attaching the Brackets
To install the chassis in a rack, attach the brackets in one of the following ways:
• Front panel forward (see Figure 3-3)
• Back panel forward (see Figure 3-4)
Note Although the installations show the 19-inch brackets, the procedure is the same for the 23- and 24-inch
brackets.
