Chapter 7 Cisco ASR 1004 Router Overview and Installation
Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount Brackets
Chassis Front Rack-Mount Brackets
Determine where in the rack you want the chassis to be mounted. If you are mounting more than one
chassis in the rack, then start from the bottom up or the center of the rack.
Figure 7-8
shows the brackets
attached to the chassis. Depending on the bracket holes you use, the chassis may protrude in the rack.
To install the front rack-mount brackets on the Cisco ASR 1004 Router, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Locate the threaded holes on the side of the chassis. Make certain that you hold the front rack-mount
bracket with the ear and holes facing outward and towards the front of the chassis (see
Figure 7-8
).
Figure 7-8
shows where to attach the front rack-mount brackets to the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.

Step 2
Position the front rack-mount bracket top hole with the chassis first top hole behind the side vent holes.
Step 3
Insert and tighten the black screws on one side.
Step 4
Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on the other side of the chassis. Use black screws to secure the rack-mount
brackets to the chassis.
Step 5
Install the chassis in a rack. To install the Cisco ASR 1004 Router in a rack, go to the
“Installing the
Cisco ASR 1004 Router in a Rack” section on page 7-13
.
This completes the steps for attaching the front rack-mount brackets to the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.
Chassis Rear Rack-Mount Brackets
If you are rack-mounting the chassis using the rear rack-mount brackets, then this type of installation
provides for the chassis being recessed in the rack.
