SUMMARY STEPS
1.
Mark and measure the distance between two holes on the left and right mounting rails.
2.
Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the
equipment rack.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
Mark and measure the distance between two holes on the left and right mounting rails.
The distance should measure 18.31 inches ± 0.06 inches (46.5 cm ± 0.15 cm).
Measure for pairs of holes near the bottom, middle and top of the equipment rack to ensure that the rack posts
are parallel.
Note
Step 2
Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the equipment rack.
The space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis which is 17.25 inches (43.8 cm) wide and
fits between the mounting posts on the rack.
Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount Brackets
This section explains how to attach the front rack-mount brackets to the chassis. Before installing the chassis
in the rack, you must install the rack-mount brackets on each side of the chassis.
The parts and tools required for installing the rack-mount brackets and cable-management brackets are listed
in the “Tools and Equipment” section in the Preparing Your Site for Installation chapter..
The Cisco ASR 1001 Router also has a set of threaded features in the rear of the chassis to accommodate
a set of rear mounting brackets, should the requirement arise.
Note
The cable-management brackets are attached to the chassis after you install the chassis rack-mount brackets
on the chassis and mount the chassis in the rack.
Note
Chassis Front Rack-Mount Brackets
Determine where in the rack you want the chassis to be mounted. If you are mounting more than one chassis
in the rack, then start from the bottom up or the center of the rack. Figure 209: Attaching the Front Rack-Mount
Brackets to the Cisco ASR 1001 Router, on page 431shows the brackets attached to the chassis. Depending
on the bracket holes you use, the chassis may protrude in the rack.
To install the front rack-mount brackets on the Cisco ASR 1001 Router, perform the following steps:
