Chapter 11 Cisco ASR 1013 Router Overview and Installation
Rack-Mounting the Cisco ASR 1013 Router
The space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis which is
17.25 inches (43.8 cm) wide and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.
Installing the Cisco ASR 1013 Router in a Rack
To mount the chassis in an equipment rack, you must secure the rack-mount brackets to two posts or
mounting strips in the rack using the screws provided. Because the rack-mount brackets support the
weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all screws to fasten the two rack-mount brackets to the rack
posts. You can install the Cisco ASR 1013 chassis in an equipment rack using the forward rack-mount
brackets or rear rack-mount brackets.
You can perform one of the following procedures to install the chassis in a rack:
• Two-Post Rack Installation, page 11-18
• Four-Post Rack Installation, page 11-19
Installing the Chassis Using the Forward Rack-Mount Brackets
Caution Before you mount the ASR 1013 Router in a rack, make certain you read which rack-mount bracket ear
holes to use when positioning the chassis in the rack. As a result of using the designated ear holes on the
rack-mount bracket, the cable-management bracket installation will be made easier. For
cable-management installation instructions, see the “Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket” section
on page 11-21.
Determine where in the rack you want the chassis to be mounted. If you are mounting more than one
chassis in the rack, then start from the bottom up or the center of the rack. Figure 11-6 shows the brackets
attached to the chassis. Depending on the bracket holes you use, the chassis may protrude in the rack.
Note The forward rack-mount brackets on the Cisco ASR 1013 Router arrive installed on the chassis and a
spare set is included in the accessory kit. However, if you want to install a forward rack-mount bracket
on the chassis, then see the instructions in this section.
