Step 8 Insert the bottom screw first and then the second screw at the top of the chassis, diagonally from the bottom screw.
This helps secure the chassis in place while you insert the other screws.
Tip To ensure that there is sufficient space to attach the cable-management brackets to the chassis in the rack easily, use the
rack-mount bracket ear holes specified in Step 9.
Step 9 Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails and perform these steps:
Tip Insert the bottom screw first and then the second screw at the top of the chassis diagonally from the bottom screw. This
helps secure the chassis in place while you insert the other screws.
a. Insert the bottom screw into the second ear hole 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 second bracket hole from the top of the rack-mount bracket ear hole diagonally from the
bottom screw and tighten the screw to the rack rail. See Figure 3.
c. Repeat these Step a and Step b for the other side of the chassis.
Note When the specified rack-mount bracket ear holes are used, the cable-management brackets can be easily attached
to the rack-mount bracket after the chassis is in the rack.
This completes the procedure for installing the chassis in a four-post rack. Proceed to the procedure described in the “Attach a
Cable-Management Bracket” section on page 9 to continue the installation.
Two-Post Rack Installation
Caution If you are using a two-post rack, secure the two-post rack to the floor surface to prevent tipping and avoid bodily
injury and component damage. Or use a four-post rack.
Before you begin to install the Cisco ASR 1002 Router in a two-post equipment rack, read these important notes:
• Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches (48.26 cm). Airflow
through the chassis is from front to back.
• To prevent the two-post rack from tipping and avoid bodily injury or component damage, ensure that you secure the
two-post equipment rack to the floor.
• Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you to lift by yourself. We recommend that at least two people
install the router in an equipment rack.
• Ensure that the floor under the rack supporting the Cisco 1000 Series Routers is capable of supporting the combined weight
of the rack and all the other installed equipment.
Note Ensure that you attach the cable-management brackets to the chassis after you install the chassis in an equipment rack.
