Installing the Cisco ASR 1002 Router in a Rack Chapter 8 Cisco ASR 1002 Router Overview and Installation This completes the procedure for installing the chassis on a two-post rack. Proceed to the "Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection" section on page 8-25 to continue the installation. Four-Post Rack Installation The Cisco ASR 1002 Router can be flush-mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack using the rack-mounting kit provided with your system. The Cisco ASR 1002 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. When handling the chassis, always follow proper lifting practices. See the "Chassis-Lifting Guidelines" section on page 5-23. Note 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). Airflow through the chassis is from front to back. Note Make sure the rack is stabilized. Step 1 Step 2 (Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1002 Router. If you are using a shelf then raise the chassis to the level of the shelf. Let the bottom of the chassis rest on the brackets, but continue to support the chassis. Using two people, lift the chassis into the rack using the side handles and grasping underneath the power supply bays. Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack. Note Use the second hole up from the bottom of the rack-mount bracket and the second hole down from the top of the rack-mount bracket. This will make it easier to attach the cable-management bracket to the chassis in the equipment rack. Step 3 Step 4 Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails while the second person finger-tightens a screw to the rack rails on each side of the chassis. Finger-tighten screws to the rack rails on each side of the chassis. 8-22 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Hardware Installation Guide OL-13208-09
