Installing the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router in a Rack
Two-Post Rack Installation
The Cisco ASR 1002-X Router can be installed on a two-post 19-inch or 23-inch rack.
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). Air flow through the chassis is from front
to back.
Caution
If you are using a two-post rack, secure the rack to the floor surface to prevent tipping and avoid bodily
injury and component damage.
Perform the following procedure to install a two-post rack:
Step 1
Position the chassis such that the front is closest to you and lift it carefully into the rack.
Caution
To prevent injury, avoid any sudden twists or moves.
