This completes the procedure for installing the chassis on a two-post rack. Proceed to the
Grounding Lug to the Chassis Ground Connector, on page 349
for information about how to continue with the installation.
Four-Post Rack Installation
The Cisco ASR 1002-X Router can be flush-mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack using the rack-mounting
kit provided with your system. The Cisco ASR 1002-X Router can be mounted into the rack using two
recommended methods:
•
Installing the chassis in an existing rack with equipment.
•
Installing an empty chassis in a rack with no equipment installed.
When handling the chassis, always follow proper lifting practices. See the
.
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.
Note
Ensure that the rack is stabilized.

SUMMARY STEPS
1.
(Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1002-X 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 using the side handles and grasping underneath the
power supply bays, with the help of another person.
2.
Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
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.
4.
Tighten all the screws on each side to secure the chassis to the equipment rack (see the following image).
5.
Use a level to verify that the tops of the two brackets are level, or use a measuring tape to verify that both
the brackets are the same distance from the top of the rack rails.
