Prepare for Rack-Mount Installation Before you begin the rack-mounting tasks: • Decide whether or not you want to front-mount or rear-mount the chassis. • Decide whether or not you want to attach cable-management brackets to your chassis. Note If you install cable-management brackets, make certain that you use the specified rack-mount ear holes as stated in the procedure and install the brackets after the chassis is mounted in the equipment rack. • Decide if two-post or four-post rack-mount equipment will be used. 5 Rack-Mount the Router This section provides information for rack-mounting the router. Attach the Rack-Mount Brackets-Chassis Front-Mounted To install the rack-mount brackets on a Cisco ASR 1002-F Router for a front rack-mount configuration, follow these steps: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis. Align the rack-mount bracket to the side of the router. Depending on which set of rack-mount bracket holes you choose to use to attach the rack-mount bracket to the router, the chassis will either be recessed in the rack or protrude from the rack. Position the front rack-mount bracket top hole with the chassis first top hole behind the side vent holes as shown in Figure 2.
