Attaching The Cable-Management Brackets - Cisco ASR 1013 Hardware Installation Manual

Attaching the Cable-Management Brackets

SUMMARY STEPS
1. (Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1006 Router. If you are using a shelf then
raise the chassis to the level of the shelf. Let the bottom of the chassis rest on the brackets, but continue
to support the chassis.Using two people, lift the chassis into the rack using the side handles and grasping
underneath the power supply bays.
2. Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
3. Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails while the second person finger-tightens a screw to
the rack rails on each side of the chassis.
4. Finger-tighten 4 more screws to the rack rails on each side of the chassis.
5. Tighten all screws on each side to secure the chassis to the equipment rack.
6. Use a level to verify that the tops of the two brackets are level, or use a measuring tape to verify that both
brackets are the same distance from the top of the rack rails.

What to Do Next
This completes the procedure for installing the chassis in the rack. Proceed to the

Attaching the Cable-Management Brackets

The cable-management brackets are mounted on each rack-mount bracket on the chassis to provide cable
management to both sides of the chassis (parallel with card orientation). These brackets are screw mounted
to the rack-mount brackets to allow easy installation and removal of cables.
The cable-management brackets for the Cisco ASR 1006 Router contain five independent cable-management
"U" type features with four screws and provides cable dressing of each card module slots. For Cisco ASR
1000 SIPs, these brackets work in tandem with shared port adapter product feature cable-management device
to allow installation and removal of adjacent cards without having to remove cables.
