Caution
To make the installation easier, before you mount the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router in a rack, use the
information provided in this chapter to determine which rack mount bracket ear holes to use when
positioning the chassis in the rack. Using the designated ear holes on the rack mount bracket simplifies
installation of the cable management bracket.

After installing the rack mount brackets on the chassis, you mount the chassis by securing the rack mount
brackets to the two posts or the mounting strips in the rack using the screws provided. Because the rack
mount brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, use all the screws to fasten the two rack mount
brackets to the rack posts.
