Attach the Rack-Mount Brackets—Chassis Rear Rack-Mounted
To install the rack-mount on a Cisco ASR 1013 Router for a rear rack-mount configuration, follow these steps:
Step 1 Locate the threaded holes in the rear sides of the chassis.
Step 2 Position the rear rack-mount bracket top hole with the chassis second top hole in from the back (See Figure 1). Make
certain that you hold the rear rack-mount bracket with the earholes facing outward and towards the rear of the chassis.
Align the rack-mount bracket to the side of the router.Attaching the Rear Rack-Mount Brackets to the Cisco ASR 1013
Router.
Step 3 Insert and tighten the five screws. After the bracket is secured to the side of the chassis, slide the two remaining
components (callout 4,
Figure 1) into the side rack-mount bracket.
Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on the other side of the chassis. Use five screws on each side to secure the rear rack-mount
brackets to the chassis.
This completes the procedure for attaching rear rack-mount brackets to the chassis. Continue on to Four-Post Rack Installation,
page 5 or Two-Post Rack Installation, page 7.
Four-Post Rack Installation
This section describes the types of racks used for rack-mounting the chassis.
Note Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches (48.26 cm). The
Cisco ASR1013 chassis requires a minimum of 7 rack units (22.3 inches or 56.6 cm) of vertical rack space. Airflow
through the chassis is from front to back.
