Installing E-Series
Routers
This chapter describes how to install E-series routers in a rack.
Before You Begin
Before installing E-series routers, be sure you:
• Have a plan for installing E-series routers. This plan should consider
future expansion of your system.
• Have the tools and accessories needed to complete the installation.
• Read and understand the clearance requirements for the front and
back of the chassis for cable routing and other unit access. See
Environmental Requirements on page 3-2 for more information.
• Prepare the equipment racks by measuring and marking space for
each E-series router and plenum you will install.
