Installing the Router
The Cisco 10008 router can be rack-mounted in a 19-inch rack with either a flush-mount or center-mount configuration, or in
a 23-inch rack in a center-mount configuration. Use
the rack-mounting kit provided with your system.
If you choose to install the Cisco 10008 router on a workbench or tabletop:
Step 1
Ensure that you have a minimum of 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust vents (at both the front
and top/rear sides of the chassis) and a minimum of 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the chassis
for cables and maintenance.
Step 2
Follow the lifting instructions provided for lifting the chassis in the “Lifting the Chassis” section on page 9.
Step 3
Attach the cable-management bracket. See
