Cisco 19-inch Rack-Mount Kit for 900 Series ISR
19-inch bracketsCisco 900 Series ISRC921-4P · C921-4PLTE · C931-4PInternal-PSU models only
The Cisco ACS-900-RM-19= is the official 19-inch rack-mount kit for the Cisco 900 Series Integrated Services Routers that have an internal power supply — the C921-4P, the C921-4PLTE variants and the C931-4P — so a compact branch router can be fixed in a standard rack or network cabinet.
The 900 Series routers ship as desktop units and Cisco states that rack mounting needs this optional bracket kit, which is not included with the router. The kit consists of two 19-inch brackets, one per side, fixed to the chassis with flat-head screws; Cisco allows the brackets to be fitted towards the front panel or the back panel, so you can choose whether the ports face the front or the rear of the cabinet.
Before you order: Only the internal-power-supply models fit: C921-4P, C921-4PLTE (NA, AS, AU, GB) and C931-4P. Models with an external power brick — C921J-4P, C926 and C927 families — are not supported by this kit; Cisco recommends a rack tray for those.
What's in the Box
- Two 19-inch rack-mount brackets (left and right)
- Flat-head screws to fix the brackets to the router
- The router, cage nuts and rack screws are not included
What It Means in Practice
- The router occupies one rack unit in a 19-inch rack instead of sitting loose on a shelf.
- You can mount it with the ports towards the front or towards the back of the cabinet, depending on where your patching is.
- Cisco recommends leaving 1RU of free space above and below the router for airflow.
- The kit is purely mechanical: no configuration or licence change is needed.
What Will Not Work
- Cisco C921J-4P, C926-4P / C926-4PLTEGB and C927 models — they use an external power supply and are not supported.
- Cisco 1100, 4000 or 8000 Series routers — each has its own mounting kit.
- Under-desk mounting — that is the separate ACS-900-DM= kit.
- Racks without 19-inch rails or a cabinet without free space above and below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the rack kit included with the C921 or C931 router?
No. Cisco sells it as an optional kit; the router ships for desktop use.
My router is a C927-4P — can I use this kit?
No. The C926 and C927 families have an external power supply and are not supported. A 1U rack shelf is the practical option.
Can I face the ports to the back of the rack?
Yes. Cisco allows the brackets to be fitted on either the front-panel or the back-panel side.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The 900 Series looks like one family, but only the internal-PSU models (C921-4P, C921-4PLTE, C931-4P) take this kit. If your model number contains J, C926 or C927, choose a shelf instead. You will find shelves and other
rack accessories in our networking section.
✓ Buy it if you have a Cisco C921-4P, C921-4PLTE or C931-4P and want it fixed in a 19-inch rack.
✕ Skip it if your router is a C921J, C926 or C927, or you only need it on a desk.
→ Also consider a 1U fixed rack shelf for external-PSU routers.
