Installing the Cisco ASR 1001 Router in a Rack
After installing the rack-mount brackets on the chassis, you mount the chassis by securing 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.

the unit in the rack.
