Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount Brackets
This section explains how to attach the front rack-mount brackets to the chassis. Before installing the
chassis in the rack, you must install the rack-mount brackets on each side of the chassis.
The parts and tools required for installing the rack-mount brackets and cable-management brackets are
listed in the
“Tools and Equipment” section on page 5-23
.
Note
The Cisco ASR 1001 Router also has a set of threaded features in the rear of the chassis to accommodate
a set of rear mounting brackets, should the requirement arise.
Note
The cable-management brackets are attached to the chassis after you install the chassis rack-mount
brackets on the chassis and mount the chassis in the rack.
Chassis Front Rack-Mount Brackets
Determine where in the rack you want the chassis to be mounted. If you are mounting more than one
chassis in the rack, then start from the bottom up or the center of the rack.
Figure 12-15
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 1001 Router, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Locate the threaded holes on the side of the chassis. Make certain that you hold the front rack-mount
bracket with the ear and holes facing outward and towards the front of the chassis.
