Installing the Rack-Mount and Cable-Management Brackets
The rack-mount and cable-management kit for the Cisco 7100 series routers consists of rack-mount
brackets and a cable-management bracket that are designed for mounting your router in 19- or
23-inch, 4-post or telco-type equipment racks.
This section describes how to attach the rack-mount and cable-management brackets to the router.
For more information about cabling the router, refer to Chapter 3, "Installing Cisco 7100 Series
Routers" in the Cisco 7100 Series VPN Router Installation and Configuration Guide.

The AC-input power supply uses a power factor corrector that allows the router to operate on
input voltage and frequency within the ranges of 100 to 240 VAC and 50/60 Hz.
We recommend an uninterruptible power source to protect against power failures at your
Note
site. We recommend powering a Cisco 7100 series router from a 15A receptacle at the power
source.
Locate the chassis grounding receptacles on the rear sides of the chassis. (See Figure 3.)
Both rear sides of Cisco 7100 series chassis have two grounding receptacles.
Note
Attach the cable-management bracket to the two grounding receptacles that were not used
to ground the chassis. Refer to Chapter 2, "Preparing for Installation," in the Cisco 7100
Series VPN Router Installation and Configuration Guide for chassis grounding
instructions.
Align the cable-management bracket to the vacant receptacles. Ensure the two flanges on
the bracket are facing away from the chassis.
Thread two M3.5 x 7-mm slotted hexhead screws through the bracket and into the chassis.
Use a flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screws. Use tie wraps to secure interface cables
to the bracket flanges.
