Cisco uBR7225VXR Router Installation Checklist
A rack-mount and cable-management kit is included in the shipping container. The rack-mount brackets
in the kit are for mounting the Cisco uBR7225VXR in standard, 19-inch-wide, 4-post equipment racks
or telco-type equipment racks. The rack-mount brackets are not suitable for use with other racks, such
as 23-inch telco racks. The cable-management bracket is designed to relieve the strain on interface cables
that are installed on cable interface line cards in a Cisco uBR7225VXR router.
If you are installing an equipment shelf or using mounting hardware other than that supplied with the
chassis, review the guidelines in the “Equipment Racks” section on page 2-15, then proceed to the
“Cisco uBR7225VXR Router Chassis Rack-Mounting Options” section on page 3-2.
If you do not plan to install your Cisco uBR7225VXR router in an equipment rack, proceed to the
“Installing the Chassis in a Workbench or Tabletop Environment” section on page 3-12.
To assist you with your installation and to provide a historical record of what was done, and by whom,
use “Cisco uBR7225VXR Router Installation Checklist” section on page 2. Make a copy of this
checklist and indicate when each procedure or verification is completed. When the checklist is
completed, place it in your site log (see Appendix G, “Site Log”) along with the other records for your
new router.
