Guidelines for an Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation
The chassis should already be in the area where you will install it. If you have not determined where to install
your chassis, see the “Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Component Overview” section on page 2-1 for
information about site considerations.
If you are not rack-mounting your Cisco ASR 1000 series chassis, place it on a sturdy equipment shelf or
tabletop.
When installing the Cisco ASR 1006 Router on an equipment shelf or tabletop, ensure that the surface is clean
and that you have considered the following:
•
The Cisco ASR 1006 Router requires at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust
vents (the front and top/rear sides of the chassis).
•
The Cisco ASR 1006 Router should be installed off the floor. Dust that accumulates on the floor is drawn
into the interior of the router by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the router can cause
overtemperature conditions and component failures.
•
There must be approximately 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the chassis to
install and replace FRUs, or to access network cables and equipment
.
•
The Cisco ASR 1006 Router needs adequate ventilation. Do not install it in an enclosed cabinet where
ventilation is inadequate.
•
Keep the cable-management brackets ready if you plan to install it on the front of the chassis.
•
An adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for your router chassis (see the Attaching a Chassis
Ground Connection, on page 161).
• Always follow proper lifting practices as outlined in the “Chassis-Lifting Guidelines” section on page
5-23 when handling the chassis
.
