Chapter 9 Cisco ASR 1002-F Router Overview and Installation
Installing the Cisco ASR 1002-F Router in a Rack
This completes the procedure for installing the chassis on a two-post rack. Proceed to the
“Attaching a
Chassis Ground Connection” section on page 9-23
to continue the installation.
Four-Post Rack Installation
The Cisco ASR 1002-F Router can be flush-mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack using the
rack-mounting kit provided with your system. When handling the chassis, always follow proper lifting
practices. See the
“Chassis-Lifting Guidelines” section on page 5-23
.
Note
Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches
(48.26 cm). The height of the chassis is 3.47 inches (8.8 cm). Airflow through the chassis is from front
to back.
Caution
Make sure the rack is stabilized.
Step 1
(Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1002-F Router. If you are using a shelf,
raise the chassis to the level of the shelf. Let the bottom of the chassis rest on the brackets, but continue
to support the chassis. Lift the chassis into the rack, grasping underneath the power supply bays.
Step 2
Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
Note
Use the second hole up from the bottom of the rack-mount bracket and the second hole down from the
top of the rack-mount bracket. This will make it easier to attach the cable-management brackets to the
chassis in the equipment rack.
Step 3
Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails while the second person finger-tightens a screw
to the rack rails on each side of the chassis.
Step 4
Tighten the screws to the rack rails on each side of the chassis.
Step 5
Tighten all the screws on each side to secure the chassis to the equipment rack.
