How to Install Cisco Mounting Rail Kit for Router

• Power down and unplug the Cisco router and any connected peripherals. Ensure you follow all safety procedures and lockout/tagout guidelines as applicable to your environment.
• Attach the mounting rails to the router chassis according to the kit’s included instructions. Align the rails with the router’s mounting holes and secure them with the provided screws or fasteners, ensuring a firm, level fit.
• Prepare the 19-inch rack by verifying that it is clean, level, and capable of supporting the router’s weight. Install any crossbars or accessories required by your rack configuration to provide a stable foundation.
