Cisco ASR 9901 Hardware Installation Guide

Step 4 Save the packaging materials in case the router needs repackaging or shipping.
Positioning the Router
Use a safety hand truck to move the router to the location where the router is being installed in a rack.
Verifying Rack Dimensions
Before you install the chassis, measure the space between the vertical mounting flanges (rails) on your
equipment rack to verify that the rack conforms to the measurements listed below.
Procedure
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 the distance 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.
• Cisco ASR 9901—The space must be at least 17.75 inches (45.085 cm) to accommodate the width of
the chassis with the mounting brackets and slide rails, and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.
• Cisco ASR 9001—The space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis, which
is approximately 17.45 in. (44.32 cm) wide, and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.
