Chapter 6 Cisco ASR 1006 Router Overview and Installation
Guidelines for an Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation
Caution Depending on your installation and co-located equipment power dissipation, it is recommended to have
some air gap between chassis, if space allows, to reduce residual heating from one chassis to another.
• Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to
prevent the rack from falling over.
• Install and use the cable-management brackets included with the Cisco ASR 1006 Router to keep
cables organized and out of the way of the cards and processors. Ensure that cables from other
equipment already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards or require you to disconnect
cables unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.
• Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.
• Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router chassis.
In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding excessive temperature
conditions in the “Electrical Safety” section on page 5-21.
Table 6-1 provides the Cisco ASR 1006 Router dimensions and weight information.
Guidelines for an Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation
The chassis should already be in the area where you will install it. If you have not determined where to
install your chassis, see the “Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Component Overview” section on page 2-1
for information about site considerations.
If you are not rack-mounting your Cisco ASR 1000 series chassis, place it on a sturdy equipment shelf
or tabletop.
When installing the Cisco ASR 1006 Router on an equipment shelf or tabletop, ensure that the surface
is clean and that you have considered the following:
• The Cisco ASR 1006 Router requires at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust
vents (the front and top/rear sides of the chassis).
• The Cisco ASR 1006 Router should be installed off the floor. Dust that accumulates on the floor is
drawn into the interior of the router by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the router can cause
overtemperature conditions and component failures.
• There must be approximately 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the chassis to
install and replace FRUs, or to access network cables and equipment.
