Rack-Mounting the Cisco 7206 Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco 7206 Rack-Mounting the Cisco 7206 The chassis mounts to two rack posts with brackets that attach to either the front or the rear sides of the chassis. The inside width between the two posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17 inches (43.18 cm). Some equipment racks provide a power strip along the length of one of the mounting strips. Figure 3-1 shows a typical four-post equipment rack with a power strip along one of the back posts. If your rack has this feature, consider the position of the strip when planning fastener points and ensure that you will be able to pull port adapters and other FRUs straight out of their respective slots. The inlet and exhaust ports for cooling air are located on the right and left of the chassis, respectively, so multiple routers can be stacked in a rack with little or no vertical clearance.

The chassis mounts to two rack posts with brackets that attach to either the front or the rear sides of the
chassis. The inside width between the two posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least
17 inches (43.18 cm).
Some equipment racks provide a power strip along the length of one of the mounting strips.
Figure 3-1
shows a typical four-post equipment rack with a power strip along one of the back posts. If your rack has
this feature, consider the position of the strip when planning fastener points and ensure that you will be
able to pull port adapters and other FRUs straight out of their respective slots.
The inlet and exhaust ports for cooling air are located on the right and left of the chassis, respectively,
so multiple routers can be stacked in a rack with little or no vertical clearance.
