Caution
To be installed and maintained by service personnel as defined by AS/NZS 3260. Incorrect connection
of this or connected equipment to a General Purpose Outlet could result in a hazardous situation. The
telecommunication lines must be disconnected before unplugging the main power connection and while
the housing is open.
Before you install, operate, or service the system, read the "Site Preparation and Safety" section of the
Warning
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 7200 Series Routers. This guide contains
important safety information you should know before working with the system. Statement 200
A rack-mount and cable-management kit is included in the shipping container. The rack-mount brackets
in the kit are for mounting a Cisco 7200 VXR router in standard, 19-inch-wide, four-post equipment
racks or two-post equipment racks. The rack-mount brackets are not suitable for use with other racks,
such as 23-inch telco racks. The cable-management brackets are designed to relieve the strain on port
adapter interface cables that are installed on port adapters in a Cisco 7200 VXR router.
If you are installing an equipment shelf or using mounting hardware other than that supplied with the
chassis, review the guidelines in the
"Preparing for
section on page
OL-5013-09
"Rack-Mounting Guidelines" section on page 2-5
Installation," and then proceed to the
3-14.
