After installing the rack-mount brackets on the chassis, you mount the chassis by securing the rack-mount
brackets to two posts or mounting strips in the rack using the screws provided. Because the rack-mount brackets
support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all screws to fasten the two rack-mount brackets to the
rack posts.
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions
Warning
to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:-This
unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.-When mounting this unit
in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom
of the rack.-If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or
servicing the unit in the rack. Statement 1006
We recommend that you allow at least 1 or 2 inches (2.54 or 5.08 cm) of vertical clearance between the router
and any equipment directly above and below it.
To install the chassis in the rack, perform the following steps:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. On the chassis, ensure that all screw fasteners on the installed components are securely tightened.
2. Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed. If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are
engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized. See the next sections on the types of racks you can use to
install the chassis.
3. (Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1006 Router. If you use a shelf, this will
help support the chassis while you secure it to the rack.
4. With two people, lift the chassis into position between the rack posts.
5. Align the mounting bracket holes with the rack post holes and attach the chassis to the rack.
6. Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
7. Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails and follow these steps:
8. Tighten all screws on each side to secure the chassis to the equipment rack.
