This document describes how to rack-mount or wall-mount a Cisco 3620 or Cisco 3640 router.
Use this document in conjunction with your router installation and configuration guide and the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document for your router.
If you have questions or need help, refer to the section "Obtaining Service and Support" later in this document.
This document contains the following sections:
Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. It occurs when electronic printed circuit cards are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Always follow ESD prevention procedures when removing and replacing cards. Ensure that the router chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.
This section explains how to mount a Cisco 3620 or Cisco 3640 router in a 19-inch, 23-inch, or 24-inch equipment rack or telco rack. If you have questions or need help with the rack-mounting procedure, refer to the section "Obtaining Service and Support" later in this document.
If you are planning to rack-mount your router, do so before making network and power connections. If you need to install network modules or WAN interface cards, you can do so either before or after mounting the router, whenever you have better access to the rear of the router.
You need the following tools and equipment to mount a Cisco 3600 series router in a rack:
Each router is shipped with one set of brackets. Brackets for 19-inch racks are shipped unless you specify 23-inch or 24-inch brackets at the time of your order. Figure 1 shows brackets for the Cisco 3620 router, and Figure 2 shows brackets for the Cisco 3640 router.

This section explains how to mount a Cisco 3620 or Cisco 3640 router on a wall. If you have questions or need help with the wall-mounting procedure, refer to the section "Obtaining Service and Support" later in this document.
If you are planning to wall-mount your router, do so before making network and power connections. If you need to install network modules or WAN interface cards, you can do so either before or after mounting the router, whenever you have better access to the rear of the router.
You need the following tools and equipment to install a Cisco 3600 series router on a wall:
Cisco Systems does not supply the board or screws.
Each router is shipped with one set of brackets. Brackets for 19-inch racks are shipped unless you specify 23-inch or 24-inch brackets at the time of your order. The Cisco 3620 router uses 19-inch rack brackets to mount on a wall, and the Cisco 3640 router uses 23-inch or 24-inch rack brackets to mount on a wall. Figure 23 shows the wall-mount brackets.
