Step 4
Use a scissors jack to remove the chassis from the shipping rack. Place a pallet jack next to the chassis inside
the shipping rack and push/pull the chassis onto the pallet jack for transport to the rack.
Tilt the chassis only when absolutely necessary. The chassis is large and heavy. If it were to fall, it
could cause harm to itself and its surroundings. Before attempting to tilt the chassis, reduce the
weight of the system by removing all of the components in the chassis. The chassis should then be
tilted in a direction so that the rear of the chassis is facing downward. The distance the chassis
travels without its packaging should be as short as possible.
Caution
Step 5
On the rear of the chassis is an integrated handle which is used to pull the chassis from the pallet jack into the
rack where the chassis is to be installed. Position the chassis so that the rear handle is facing the front of the
rack.
Step 6
From the rear of the rack, pull the chassis by the handle into the rack, making sure that the chassis sits on top
of the guide rails in the rack.
Step 7
Once the chassis is pulled into the rack and sits on top of the guide rails, use screws to fasten the chassis to
the rack.
Removing Components Before Installing the Chassis
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are designed to be lifted for mounting into a rack. To reduce the weight
of the system, you must remove some of the components before attempting to mount it into the rack.
Removing Power Modules
The power modules for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are shipped separately. If you need to remove an
AC or DC power module at a later time, see
Removing and Replacing Power System Components
Removing Fan Trays
If an accessory grill or fan tray cover is installed on the front of the router, you must remove it first.
