•
If you use 2-post racks, be sure that the rack is bolted to the floor and secured. One end of the chassis
mounts to the two rack posts with the chassis ears, and the rest of the chassis is cantilevered off the
posts. Ensure that the weight of the chassis does not make the rack unstable. Some 2-post racks are
also secured to ceiling brackets if warranted by the weight of the equipment in the rack.

Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7507-MX Rack-Mount Considerations
An optional rack-mounting kit is available for mounting the Cisco 7507 or Cisco 7507-MX in a standard
19-inch (48.26 cm) equipment rack. The mounting kit is not suitable for use with 2-post equipment
racks, or those with obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair access to the interface
processors and power supplies. In telco environments or at installation sites that use nonstandard racks,
the router can be mounted on an equipment shelf, provided that the rack dimensions allow safe
installation and access to the power supplies and interface processors.

The height of the chassis is approximately 20 inches (50.08 cm) (19.25 inches [48.90 cm] when the
chassis feet are removed). The rack must have sufficient vertical clearance to insert the chassis and,
if required after installation, to remove the chassis feet.

If the rack has a vertical power strip or other potential obstacle, ensure that it will allow sufficient
clearance to install and remove both interface processors (11 inches [27.94 cm] deep) and power
supplies (16 inches [40.64 cm] deep), both of which must be pulled straight out of the chassis.
