Site Planning
The sections describe how to plan for the installation of the Cisco ASR 920 Series Router.
General Precautions
Observe the following general precautions when using and working with your Cisco ASR 920 Router:
• Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources and do not block cooling vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components and never operate the product in a wet
environment.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so can cause fire or electric
shock by shorting out interior components.
• Position system cables and power supply cable carefully. Route system cables and the power supply
cable and plug so that they are not stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing else rests on your
system component cables or power cable.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications. Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
• If you turn off your system, wait at least 30 seconds before turning it on again to avoid damage of system
components.
Site Planning Checklist
Use the following checklist to carry out all site planning tasks:
• The site meets environmental requirements.
• The site’s air conditioning system can compensate for the heat dissipation of the chassis.
• The floor space that the chassis occupies can support the weight of the system.
