Installing the Cisco ASR 9001 Chassis
This chapter describes how to install a Cisco ASR 9001 chassis in a rack. It includes the following sections:
Before you Begin
Before you install the chassis, make sure that you have following tools and equipment:
•
ESD-preventive wrist strap
•
Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers
•
1/4-inch (6.35-mm) and 3/16-inch (4.5-mm) flat-blade screwdrivers
•
Tape measure
•
Level (optional)
•
Minimum of six binderhead screws (usually provided with the rack) to secure the chassis to the mounting
flanges (also called
rails
) in the rack. Three screws should be installed on each side of the chassis.
•
One of the following rack-mounting kits (provided by Cisco):
◦
Cisco PID ASR-9001-2P-KIT= for mounting the chassis in a 19-inch two-post rack.
◦
Cisco PID ASR-9001-2PL-KIT= for mounting the chassis in a 23-inch two-post rack.
Two rack-mounting kits are needed for four-post rack installations.
Note
•
(Optional) Cisco ASR 9001 Air Plenum Assembly Kit (Cisco PID ASR-9001-PLENUM=)
Rack-Mounting the Chassis
The chassis is installed in a front-mounted position, as shown in
Figure 7: Cisco ASR 9001 Router Mounted
. In a front-mounted position, the chassis rack-mounting flanges are secured directly to the
rack posts.
Before you install the chassis in a rack, read the information in
Rack-Mounting and Air Flow Clearance
Guidelines, on page 9
