This chapter provides guidelines and instructions you need for installing your Cisco 7500 series router, 
including rack-mounting and general installation considerations. This chapter also includes a 
rack-mounting procedure for the Cisco 7505; however, rack-mounting procedures for the Cisco 7507, 
Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 are far more extensive and beyond the 
scope of this publication. 

For Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 rack-mounting 
procedures, refer to the following two publications, which accompany the Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX,

Both of these publications are available on the Documentation CD-ROM and on Cisco.com.

Before you begin the installation procedures, we recommend that you also refer to the following sections 
in 

Before you begin the installation, the Cisco 7500 series router should already be in the area where you 
will install it, and your installation location should already be determined. Ensure that you have planned 
a clean, safe location for the chassis and that you have considered the following:

The location does not block the chassis front and rear, where the exhaust and intake vents for cooling 
air are located; allow at least 6 inches (15.24 cm) of clearance. (Multiple chassis can be installed in 
equipment racks with only one inch [2.54 cm] or more of vertical clearance.)

Consider future maintenance requirements; allow adequate clearance for installing or replacing 
interface processors, or adding network connection cables or equipment.
