Installing the Cisco ASR 1002-F Router in a Four-Post Rack - Front and Rear Rack-Mounting
Note
Because the rack-mount brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all the screws to fasten the
rack-mount brackets on the chassis to the rack posts.
Note
Make certain that you attach the cable-management bracket to the chassis after you install the chassis in an equipment
rack.
To install the chassis in the four-post rack, complete the following steps:
Step 1
Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed and if the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged
or that the rack is otherwise stabilized.
Step 2
On the chassis, ensure that all screw fasteners on all installed components are securely tightened.
Step 3
Lift the chassis into position between the rack posts (requires two people).
Step 4
Position the chassis until the rack-mount bracket ears are flush against the mounting rails on the rack. At this point, if
there is a third person, then that person can insert the screws while the other two people hold the chassis in place, unless
the chassis is resting on a shelf.
Tip
Insert the bottom screw first and then the second screw at the top of the chassis diagonally from the bottom screw. This
helps secure the chassis in place while you insert the other screws.
