When handling the chassis, always follow proper lifting practices. See the “Chassis-Lifting Guidelines” section
in the Preparing Your Site for Installation chapter.
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 1.71 inches (43.43 mm). Airflow through the chassis is from front
to back.
Note
Make sure the rack is stabilized.
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
(Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1001 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.
2.
Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
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.
4.
Finger-tighten screws to the rack rails on each side of the chassis.
5.
Tighten all screws on each side to secure the chassis to the equipment rack.
6.
Use a level to verify that the tops of the two brackets are level, or use a measuring tape to verify that both
brackets are the same distance from the top of the rack rails.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
(Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1001 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.
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.
Note
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.
