Chapter 7 Cisco ASR 1004 Router Overview and Installation
Installing the Cisco ASR 1004 Router in a Rack
When handling the chassis, always follow proper lifting practices. See the “Chassis-Lifting Guidelines”
section on page 5-23.
Note 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.
Step 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.
Step 2 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
Note 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.
Step 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. Figure 7-11 shows the rear rack-mount brackets and the front
rack-mount brackets on the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.
Step 4 Finger-tighten 4 more screws to the rack rails on each side of the chassis.
Step 5 Tighten all screws on each side to secure the chassis to the equipment rack.
