Equipment Racks Considerations
The rack-mounting hardware included with the router is suitable for most 19-inch equipment racks
or Telco-type racks. The chassis mounts to two posts or rails in the rack with two mounting ears,
which attach to the sides of the chassis. Ideally, you should be able to access both ends of the router
without having to remove it from the rack.
Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair access
to the interface processors or chassis cover panel. As an alternative, you can install an equipment
shelf in the rack, provided that the rack dimensions allow the router to be secured to the shelf and
the overall configuration permits safe installation and access.
Figure 2 shows the chassis footprint and outer dimensions and the additional clearance required to
remove or install components. All are representative of both the Cisco 7010 and Cisco 7505 chassis.
Rack Dimensions
To use the rack-mounting hardware provided with the router, consider the following guidelines:
•
To mount the chassis between two posts or rails using the mounting ears, the inner clearance (the
width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 17.72 inches (45 cm).
•
The height of the chassis is 11 inches (27.94 cm) with the chassis feet attached, and 10.5 inches
(26.67 cm) when the chassis feet are removed.
