Step 4 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.
Step 5 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 a two-post rack. Proceed to the “Attach the Cable-Management
Bracket” section on page 9 to continue the installation.
Attach the Cable-Management Bracket
The cable-management brackets mount to each rack-mount bracket on both sides of the chassis to provide cable-management
to both sides of the chassis (parallel with card orientation). These brackets are screw mounted to the rack-mount brackets to
allow easy installation and removal of cables.
The cable-management brackets for the Cisco ASR 1013 are used in four places on the chassis. Each section contain four
independent cable-management “U” type feature hooks with two screws each. For Cisco ASR 1000-SIPs, these brackets work
in tandem with shared port adapter product feature cable-management device to allow installation and removal of adjacent
cards without the need to remove cables.
Note Make certain that the cable-management bracket “U” type feature is facing upwards when you attach it to the chassis
as shown in Figure 4.
Follow these steps to attach the cable-management brackets to both sides of the Cisco ASR 1013 Router in the rack:
Step 1 Align the cable-management bracket to the rack-mount bracket on one side of the Cisco ASR 1013 Router. The
cable-management bracket aligns to the top hole of the chassis rack-mount bracket.
Step 2 Using a Phillips screwdriver, insert one screw through cable-management bracket and into the chassis rack-mount and
tighten the screw.
Note Use the package of screws that came with your chassis (two screws for each cable-management bracket).
