To install the chassis in a four-post rack, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Make sure the rack brakes are locked or the rack is stabilized.
Step 2 Mount the chassis by securing the rack-mount brackets to two posts or mounting strips in the rack using the screws
provided.
Step 3 On the chassis, ensure that all screw fasteners on the installed components are securely tightened.
Step 4 Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed.
Step 5 (Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1013 Router.
Step 6 Lift the chassis into position between the rack posts (requires two people).
Step 7 Align the mounting bracket holes with the rack post holes and attach the chassis to the rack. At this point, if there is a
third person, then that person can insert the screws while the other two people hold that chassis in place, unless the
chassis is resting on a shelf).
Step 8 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting ears are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
Step 9 Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails and follow these steps:
a. Insert the bottom screw into the third hole up from the bottom of the rack mount ear and use a hand-held screwdriver
to tighten the screw to the rack rail.
b. Insert the top screw into the third hole down from the top of the rack-mount bracket ear and tighten the screw to the
rack rail.
c. Insert a screw in the middle of the rack-mount bracket on both sides of the chassis. See Figure 2. Repeat these steps for
the other side of the chassis.
Note As a result of using the specified rack-mount bracket ear holes, the cable-management bracket can be easily
attached to the rack-mount bracket when the chassis is in the rack.
This completes the procedure for installing the chassis in the four-post rack. Proceed to the “Attach the Cable-Management
Bracket” section on page 9 to continue the installation.
Two-Post Rack Installation
Note TInner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches (48.26 cm). The
height of the chassis is 1.73 inches (4.39 cm). Airflow through the chassis is from front to back.
