Installation Methods
Although rack-mounting is the preferred method of installation for the Cisco ASR 1004 Router, you can
mount the chassis:
•
On an equipment shelf or tabletop
•
In a19-inch wide (standard), 4-post equipment rack or two-post, using the rack-mount brackets in the
accessory kit
The Cisco ASR 1004 Router usually ships fully loaded. However, you can remove components from the
chassis to make the chassis lighter for your rack installation.
Note
General Rack Installation Guidelines
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
•
The Cisco ASR 1004 Router requires a minimum of 4 rack units (7 inches or 17.8 cm) 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 (7.62 cm) on the front, top, and 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.
To prevent chassis overheating, never install a Cisco ASR 1004 Router in an enclosed room that is not
properly ventilated or air conditioned.
