Guidelines for Equipment Rack Installation
The chassis should already be in the area where you will install it. If you have not determined where to
install your chassis, see the
“Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Component Overview” section on page 2-1
for information about site considerations.
When installing the Cisco ASR 1013 Router, consider the following items:
•
The Cisco ASR 1013 Router requires at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust
vents (the front and top/rear sides of the chassis).
•
The Cisco ASR 1013 Router should be installed off the floor. Dust that accumulates on the floor is
drawn into the interior of the router by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the router can cause
overtemperature conditions and component failures.
•
Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.62 cm) for the front and rear of the chassis for proper
chassis cooling. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or directly next to another
equipment rack; otherwise, the heated exhaust air from other equipment can enter the inlet air vents
and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.
•
If rack space allows, it is recommended to leave one rack unit (1.75 inch or 4.45 cm) of vertical
clearance between the chassis and any equipment directly above it or below.
Caution
Depending on your installation and co-located equipment power dissipation, it is recommended to have
some air gap between chassis, if space allows, to reduce residual heating from one chassis to another.
•
Have the cable-management bracket (used in four places on the Cisco ASR 1013 chassis: upper half,
lower half, and left and right sides) available if you plan to install it on the front of the chassis.
