Cisco ASR 9000v User Manual

Figure 19: Mounting the Cisco ASR 9922 Router in an Open 4-Post Rack
4-Post Enclosed Rack with Perforated Sides
Item c in Figure 10: Telco-Type Equipment Racks, on page 10 shows a free-standing 4-post enclosed rack
with perforated sides and two mounting posts in the front.
Do not install the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router in any type of fully enclosed rack that does not have the
required perforated sides or doors; the router requires an unobstructed flow of cooling air to maintain acceptable
operating temperatures for its internal components. Installing the router in any type of fully enclosed rack
without proper perforation could disrupt the air-flow, trap heat next to the chassis, and cause an overtemperature
condition inside the router.
