Two-Post Rack Installation
Caution If you are using a two-post rack, secure the two-post rack to the floor surface to prevent tipping and avoid bodily
injury and component damage.
Before you begin to install the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router in a two-post equipment rack, read these important notes:
• Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches (48.26 cm). Airflow
through the chassis is from front to back.
• To prevent the two-post rack from tipping and avoid bodily injury or component damage, ensure that you secure the
two-post equipment rack to the floor.
• Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you to lift by yourself. We recommend that at least two people
install the router in an equipment rack.
• Ensure that the floor under the rack supporting the Cisco 1000 Series Routers is capable of supporting the combined weight
of the rack and all the other installed equipment.
Note Ensure that you attach the cable-management brackets to the chassis after you install the chassis in an equipment rack.

To install the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router in a two-post equipment rack, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Position the chassis such that the front is closest to you and lift it carefully into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid any
sudden twists or moves.
Step 2 Slide the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the rack-mount brackets meet the mounting strips or posts on both
sides of the rack.
Step 3 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting ears are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
