Prepare for Rack-Mount Installation
Before you begin the rack-mounting tasks:
• Decide whether or not you want to rear-mount the chassis from the front or the rear.
• Decide whether or not you want to attach cable-management brackets to your chassis.
Note If you install cable-management brackets, ensure that you use the rack-mount ear holes specified in the procedure
described in and install the brackets after the chassis is mounted on the equipment rack.
• Decide if two-post or four-post rack-mount equipment will be used.
3 Rack-Mount the Router
This section provides information about rack-mounting the router.
Attach the Rack-Mount Brackets—Chassis Front-Mounted
To attach the rack-mount brackets on a Cisco ASR 1002 Router for a front rack-mount configuration, follow these steps:
Step 1 Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis.
Step 2 Align the rack-mount bracket to the side of the router. Ensure that you hold the rear rack-mount bracket such that the ear holes
are facing outward and towards the rear of the chassis. Depending on which set of rack-mount bracket holes you choose to use
to attach the rack-mount bracket to the router, the chassis will either be recessed into the rack or protrude from the rack.
Step 3 Position the front rack-mount bracket's top hole with the chassis, first top hole behind the side vent holes, as shown in Figure 1.

Step 4 Insert and tighten the black screws on one side.
Step 5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 on the other side of the chassis. Use black screws to secure the rack-mount brackets to
the chassis.
Step 6 To install the cable-management brackets, see the procedure described in the “Attach a Cable-Management Bracket”
section on page 9.
