Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount Brackets
This section explains how to attach the front and rear rack-mount brackets to the chassis. Before installing
the chassis in the rack, you must install the rack-mount brackets on each side of the chassis.
The parts and tools required for installing the rack-mount brackets and cable-management brackets are listed
in the “Tools and Equipment” section on page 5-23 .
The cable-management brackets are installed on the chassis after you install the chassis rack-mount brackets
and mount the chassis in the rack.
Note
Chassis Front Rack-Mount Brackets
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 65: Attaching the Front Rack-Mount
Brackets to the Cisco ASR 1004 Router, on page 193 image shows the brackets attached to the chassis.
Depending on the bracket holes you use, the chassis may protrude in the rack.
To install the front rack-mount brackets on the Cisco ASR 1004 Router, perform the following steps:
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
Locate the threaded holes on the side of the chassis. Make certain that you hold the front rack-mount
bracket with the ear and holes facing outward and towards the front of the chassis (see Figure 65: Attaching
the Front Rack-Mount Brackets to the Cisco ASR 1004 Router, on page 193).
2.
Position the front rack-mount bracket top hole with the chassis first top hole behind the side vent holes.
3.
Insert and tighten the black screws on one side.
4.
Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on the other side of the chassis. Use black screws to secure the rack-mount
brackets to the chassis.
5.
Install the chassis in a rack. To install the Cisco ASR 1004 Router in a rack, go to the Installing the Cisco
ASR 1004 Router in a Rack, on page 195.
