you need a number 2 phillips screwdriver to mount the chassis in a rack.
the router is shipped with one set of brackets and the screws to attach the brackets to the router chassis.
figure 3-1 through figure 3-5 shows both sizes of brackets for the various routers.
attaching brackets to the router
to install the router in a rack, attach brackets to your router chassis as shown in figure 3-6 through figure 3-22, depending on your installation needs:
. front panel forward installation, page 3-5
. rear panel forward installation, page 3-8
. center-mount installation, page 3-11
use the cisco-supplied screws for this installation.
1.if you are installing a cisco 3620 or cisco 3640 router in a 19-inch rack with a 17.5-inch opening, orient the rack-mount brackets so that, when installed, the rack support will rest against the side of the chassis.(see figure 3-6 and figure 3-12.)
2.if you are installing a cisco 3620 or cisco 3640 router in a 19-inch eia-standard rack with a 17.75-inch opening, orient the rack-mount brackets so that, when installed, the rack support will rest against the side of the bracket. (see figure 3-7 and figure 3-13.)
in this publication, references to cisco 3660 routers include both cisco 3661 and cisco 3662 models.

mounting the router in the rack
after you attach the brackets to the router, slide the router into the rack in the position shown in one of the following illustrations. using your own screws, fasten the chassis to the rack.
figure 3-23 through figure 3-25 show the cisco 3640 router in a standard 19-, 23-, or 24-inch rack. the procedure is the same for the cisco 3620 router.

the following warning applies to cisco 3660 routers:
two people are required to lift the chassis. grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with both hands. to prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. to prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the power supplies or on the interface modules. these handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis. to see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the regulatory compliance and safety information document that accompanied this device.

after the router has been installed, you can:
. install network modules. (see the publication cisco network modules hardware installation guide.)
. install a wan interface card. (see the publication cisco wan interface cards hardware installation guide.)
. connect to a network. (see the publication cisco network modules hardware installation guide.)
