•
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) for the front and rear of the chassis for proper
chassis cooling. 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.
•
If rack space allows, it is recommended to leave one rack unit (1.75 inch or 4.45 cm) of vertical clearance
between the chassis and any equipment directly above it or below.
Depending on your installation and co-located equipment power dissipation, it is recommended to have
some air gap between chassis, if space allows, to reduce residual heating from one chassis to another.
Caution
•
Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to prevent
the rack from falling over.
•
Install and use the cable-management brackets included with the Cisco ASR 1006 Router to keep cables
organized and out of the way of the cards and processors. Ensure that cables from other equipment
already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards or require you to disconnect cables
unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.
•
Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.
•
Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router chassis
.
In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding excessive temperature conditions
in the “Electrical Safety” section on page 5-21 .
