Installation Methods
Cisco ASR 1002 Router is designed for standalone, two rail 19-inch rack-mount (front rail only), four rail
19-inch rack-mount (front and rear rail).
Although rack-mounting is the preferred method of installation for the Cisco ASR 1002 Router, you can
mount the chassis on an equipment shelf or tabletop.
The Cisco ASR 1002 Router usually ships fully loaded. However, you can remove components from the
chassis to make the chassis lighter for your rack installation, such as the power supplies.

General Rack Installation Guidelines
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
•
The Cisco ASR 1002 Router requires a minimum of 3.5 inches or 8.9 cm rack units of vertical rack
space. Measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.
•
Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair rack-mount
installation. If a power strip does impair a rack-mount installation, remove the power strip before installing
the chassis, and then replace it after the chassis is installed.
•
Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it back
near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or moving cards,
connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 19 inches (48.3 cm) of
clearance to remove field-replaceable units.
•
Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 inches on the front and back sides of the chassis for the cooling air
inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or directly
next to another equipment rack; otherwise, the heated exhaust air from other equipment can enter the
inlet air vents and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.
