Chapter 8      Cisco ASR 1002 Router Overview and Installation
Installing the Cisco ASR 1002 Router in a Rack
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 (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. 
Step 2 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 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.
Step 4 Finger-tighten screws to the rack rails on each side of the chassis.
Step 5 Tighten all screws on each side to secure the chassis to the equipment rack (see Figure 8-15).
