Spacing of Mounting Holes
The ho
les in the mounting brackets are spaced at 2 U (3.5 in. or 8.89 cm), so the router can
be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance.
Connection to Building Structure
Always secure the rack to the structure of the building. If your geographical area is subject
to earthquakes, bolt the rack to the floor. For maximum stability, also secure the rack to
ceili
ng brackets. For more information, see “Rack-Mounting Requirements and Warnings”
on page 147.
