Mounting the Router in a Rack
After you attach the rack-mount brackets to the router chassis, use the screws provided with the rack to install
the chassis in the rack.

Rack-mount bracket
Do not over-torque the screws. The recommended torque is 16 to 18 in-lbs.
Your chassis installation must allow unrestricted airflow for chassis cooling.
The screw slots in the brackets are spaced to line up with every second pair of screw holes in the rack. When
the correct screw holes are used, the small threaded holes in the brackets line up with unused screw holes in
the rack. If the small holes do not line up with the rack holes, you must raise or lower the brackets to the next
rack hole.
A space of one rack unit above and below each IR8340 router is required for sufficient air ventilation.
