Make sure that you have considered the following before you install the router:

The exhaust vents on the blower module mounted at the rear of the chassis are
not blocked.
•
The air filter is mounted on the right side as you face the router; air flow to
the blower module is not blocked.
•
There is 24 inches (61 cm) of clearance at the rear of the chassis so you can
read the blower module LEDs and perform maintenance on the module.
•
There is 24 inches (61 cm) of clearance in front of the router chassis to enable
working with line cards and power supplies, and attaching Network Interface
Cable (NICs) or other components.
•
Location is temperature controlled, air conditioned, and dust free.
