Installing the Chassis in the Rack Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security. Statement 1017 Caution Because the brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all of the required slotted screws to fasten the two rack-mount brackets to the rack posts.
Caution The Cisco uBR7246VXR router installation must comply with all applicable codes and is approved for use with copper conductors only. The ground bond fastening hardware should be of compatible material and preclude loosening, deterioration, and electrochemical corrosion of hardware and joined material. Attachment of the chassis ground to a headend, hub, or other interior ground system should be made with a 6-AWG, copper ground conductor at a minimum.
