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.
Hole | Distance Above U Division | Large Shelf | |
---|---|---|---|
30 | 17.26 in. (43.8 cm) | 9.86 U | X |
27 | 15.51 in. (39.4 cm) | 8.86 U | X |
24 | 13.76 in. (34.9 cm) | 7.86 U | X |
21 | 12.01 in. (30.5 cm) | 6.86 U | X |
18 | 10.26 in. (26.0 cm) | 5.86 U | X |
15 | 8.51 in. (21.6 cm) | 4.86 U | X |
12 | 6.76 in. (17.1 cm) | 3.86 U | X |
9 | 5.01 in. (12.7 cm) | 2.86 U | X |
6 | 3.26 in. (8.3 cm) | 1.86 U | X |
3 | 1.51 in. (3.8 cm) | 0.86 U | X |
2 | 0.88 in. (2.2 cm) | 0.50 U | X |
1 | 0.25 in. (0.6 cm) | 0.14 U |
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.
