Installing a Router in a Cabinet

Procedure

1. Install mounting brackets to the router.

   Use a Phillips screwdriver to fix the mounting brackets to both sides of the router with M4 screws.

   NOTE:

   The mounting brackets can be installed close to the front panel or rear panel.

   • The methods of installing the mounting brackets on AR150/160/200 series routers are the same. This section uses the AR208E as an example. See Figure 1.
   • The methods of installing the mounting brackets on AR1200 series routers are the same. This section uses the AR1220 AC router as an example. See Figure 2.
   • The methods of installing the mounting brackets on AR2201-48FE and AR2202-48FE are the same. This section uses the AR2201-48FE as an example. See Figure 3.

2. Install floating nuts.

   Install two floating nuts on each front mounting rail. Leave a mounting hole between the two floating nuts on the same mounting rail, as shown in Figure 4.

   NOTE:

   The length of three adjacent mounting holes may not be 1 U. Observe the scale ticks on the mounting rails when installing floating nuts.
