Cisco ASR 1013 Router Overview and Installation
Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches
Note
(48.26 cm). The height of the chassis is 22.75 inches (57.8 cm). Airflow through the chassis is from front
to back.
Make sure the rack is stabilized.

SUMMARY STEPS
1. (Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1013 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.

Step 2 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
Note Use the third hole up from the bottom of the rack-mount bracket and the third hole down from the top of the
rack-mount bracket. See "Cable-Management Brackets Installed on the Cisco ASR 1013 Router" figure in the
Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket section for position and location of the ear holes on the rack-mount
bracket.
Step 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.
Step 4 Finger-tighten 4 more screws to the rack rails on each side of the chassis.
Step 5
Tighten all screws on each side to secure the chassis to the equipment rack.
Step 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.
