Rack Mounting the Router

This section demonstrates how to mount the Cisco 10720 Internet Router on an equipment rack, wall, or
desktop. The Cisco 10720 Internet Router comes with three sets of brackets for rack mounting, one set
of brackets for wall mounting and four rubber foot pads for desk mounting.

Check the clearance around the router before installation. (See the

“Rack Mounting Guidelines” section

on page 5

.)

Note

Warm air exhausts out the back side of the router by drawing cool air in through vents located on the
front of the router chassis. Allow sufficient air flow by maintaining 6 inches (15.24 cm) of clearance at
both the inlet and exhaust openings on the router and.75 inches (19.1 mm) on each side of the router
chassis. (See

Figure 2

.)

The following rack mounting steps describe how to mount the router on a 19-inch, 23- and 24-inch, or
ETSI rack:
