Step 2 Slide the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets meet the mounting strips or posts on 
both sides of the rack.
Step 3 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.
Step 4 For each bracket, insert and tighten two screws to the rack on both sides. 
This completes the procedure for installing the chassis on a two-post rack. Proceed to the “Attaching a 
Chassis Ground Connection” section on page 8-27 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.
