Cisco ASR 1004 Hardware Installation Guide

Four-Post Rack Installation
The Cisco ASR 1004 Router can be flush-mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack using the rack-mounting kit
provided with your system. The Cisco ASR 1004 Router can be mounted into the rack using two recommended
methods:
•
Installing the chassis in an existing rack with equipment.
•
Installing an empty chassis in a rack with no equipment installed.
When handling the chassis, always follow proper lifting practices. See the “Chassis-Lifting Guidelines” section.
Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches
(48.26cm). The height of the chassis is 6.95 inches (17.653 cm). Airflow through the chassis is from front
to back.
Note
Make sure the rack is stabilized.Note
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
(Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1004 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. The following image shows the rear rack-mount brackets and
the front rack-mount brackets on the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.
4.
Finger-tighten 4 more 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.

Use the third hole up from the bottom of the rack-mount bracket and the third hole down from the top of the
rack-mount bracket.
