Installing the Cisco ASR 1006 Router in a Rack Chapter 6 Cisco ASR 1006 Router Overview and Installation Note Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches (48.26cm). The height of the chassis is 10.45 inches (26.543 cm). Airflow through the chassis is from front to back. Caution If you are using a two-post rack secure the rack to the floor surface to prevent tipping and avoid bodily injury and component damage. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Position the chassis so the front is closest to you and lift it carefully into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid any sudden twists or moves. Slide the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the rack. Keeping the brackets flush against the posts or mounting strips, align the holes in the brackets with the holes on the rack or mounting strip. For each bracket, insert and tighten two screws to the rack on both sides. Note Use the third hole up from the bottom of the rack-mount bracket and the third hole down from the top of the rack-mount bracket. See Figure 6-12 for position and location of the ear holes on the rack-mount bracket. This completes the procedure for installing the chassis in a two-post rack. Proceed to the "Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection" section on page 6-19 to continue the installation. Four-Post Rack Installation The Cisco ASR 1006 Router can be flush-mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack using the rack-mounting kit provided with your system. The Cisco ASR 1006 Router can be mounted into the rack using two recommended methods: • Installing the chassis in an existing rack with equipment. • Installing an empty chassis in a rack with no equipment installed. 6-16 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Hardware Installation Guide OL-13208-09
