Step 2
Position the rear rack-mount bracket top hole with the chassis top hole from the back.
Step 3
Insert and tighten the screws on one side.
Step 4
Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on the other side of the chassis. Use the remaining screws to secure the
rear rack-mount brackets to the chassis.
This completes the steps for attaching the rear rack-mount brackets to the Cisco ASR 1002 Router.
Caution
To make installation easier, before you mount the ASR 1002 Router in a rack, make certain you read
which rack-mount bracket ear holes to use when positioning the chassis in the rack. As a result of using
the designated ear holes on the rack-mount bracket, the cable-management bracket installation will be
made easier.
Installing the Cisco ASR 1002 Router in a Rack
After installing the rack-mount brackets on the chassis, you mount the chassis by securing the
rack-mount brackets to two posts or mounting strips in the rack using the screws provided. Because the
rack-mount brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all screws to fasten the two
rack-mount brackets to the rack posts.
