Step 2
Position the rear rack-mount bracket top hole with the chassis second top hole from the back (see Figure 9: Attaching
the Rear Rack-Mount Brackets to the Cisco ASR 1004 Router, on page 14).
Step 3
Insert and tighten the five screws on one side.
Step 4
After the bracket is secured to the side of the chassis, slide the two remaining components into the side rack-mount
bracket.
Step 5
Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on the other side of the chassis. Use five screws to secure the rear rack-mount brackets to
the chassis.
What to Do Next
This completes the steps for attaching the rear rack-mount brackets to the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.
Before you mount the Cisco ASR 1004 Router in a rack, make certain you read which rack-mount bracket
ear holes to use when positioning the chassis in the rack. As a result of using the designated ear holes on
the rack-mount bracket, the cable-management bracket installation will be made easier. For
cable-management installation instructions, go to the Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection, on page
21.
Caution
Installing the Cisco ASR 1004 Router in a Rack
After installing the rack-mount brackets on the chassis, you mount the chassis by securing the rack-mount
brackets to two posts or mounting strips in the rack using the screws provided. Because the rack-mount brackets
support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all screws to fasten the two rack-mount brackets to the
rack posts.
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions
to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:-This
unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.-When mounting this unit
in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom
of the rack.-If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or
servicing the unit in the rack. Statement 1006
Warning
We recommend that you allow at least 1 or 2 inches (2.54 or 5.08 cm) of vertical clearance between the router
and any equipment directly above and below it.
To install the chassis in the rack, perform the following steps:
