Attaching the Chassis Rack Mount Brackets
Chassis Front Rack Mount Brackets
Determine where you want the chassis to be mounted in the rack. If you are mounting more than one
chassis in the rack, start from the bottom up or the center of the rack.
Figure 10-11
shows the brackets
attached to the chassis. Depending on the bracket holes you use, the chassis may protrude in the rack.
To install the front rack mount brackets on the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Locate the threaded holes on the side of the chassis. Ensure that you hold the front rack mount bracket
with the ear and holes facing outward and towards the front of the chassis.
