Installing the MX960 Mounting Hardware for Front-Mounting in an Open-Frame Rack
Before front-mounting the router in an open-frame rack, install the large mounting shelf on the rack, and remove the mounting brackets from the chassis. The small mounting shelf is not needed.
Table 1 specifies the holes in which you insert screws to install the mounting hardware in an open-frame rack (an X indicates a mounting hole location). The hole distances are relative to one of the standard U divisions on the rack. For reference, the bottom of all mounting shelves is at 0.04 in. (0.02 U) above a U division.

To install the large mounting shelf (see Figure 1):
- On the rear of each rack rail, install cage nuts, if needed, in the holes specified in Table 1 for the large shelf.
- Partially insert a mounting screw into the highest hole specified in Table 1.
- Hange the shelf over the mounting screws using the keyhole slots located near the top of the large shelf flanges.
- Partially insert screws into the open holes in the flanges of the large shelf.
- Tighten all the screws completely.
After the mounting hardware is installed, proceed to Installing the MX960 Router Using a Mechanical Lift.
