• Eight 8-32 screws for securing the side baffles to the air deflectors
Air baffles allow for front-to-back air flow through the chassis and help isolate exhaust air from the intake
air. For air baffle dimensions, see
Figure 160: Cisco ASR 9904 Router Air Baffle Dimensions—Top View,
and
Figure 161: Cisco ASR 9904 Router Air Baffle Dimensions—Front View, on page 152
.
If you ordered the air baffle accessory kit, follow these steps to install it:
Procedure
Step 1
Attach the adapter plates (
Figure 153: Attaching the Adapter Plates to the Left and Right Rack Rails on the
Cisco ASR 9904 Router Chassis , on page 146
) to the left and right rack rails using customer-supplied rack
screws (we recommend a minimum of ten per side). These screws can vary in size and type depending on the
rack that you use. Torque the screws to the weight specified for your particular rack.

Step 2
Loosely attach the left and right side air baffles to the adapter plate (
Figure 154: Installing the Air Baffles on
the Cisco ASR 9904 Router Chassis , on page 147
) with 12-24 screws (four per side). Do not tighten these
screws. To ensure the correct orientation, “Left Front” and “Right Front” are stamped on each side of the
baffle.
