Rack-Mounting the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router
The Cisco ASR 1002-X Router can be installed in an existing rack with equipment or in an empty rack with
no equipment. The chassis can be mounted on either of these rack types:
• Two-post rack, either 19-inch or 23-inch equipment rack. Inner clearance (the width between the inner
sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches (48.26 cm). The height of the chassis is 3.47
inches (8.8 cm). Air flow through the chassis is from front to back.
• Four-post, 19-inch equipment rack. Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts
or rails) must be at least 19 inches (48.26 cm). The height of the chassis is 3.47 inches (8.8 cm). Air flow
through the chassis is from front to back.
When handling the chassis, always follow proper lifting practices. See the
“Chassis-Lifting Guidelines” section
.

The Cisco ASR 1002-X Router can be installed with both front or rear rack mount brackets.
