Caution
To make the installation easier, before you mount the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router in a rack, use the information
provided in this chapter to determine which rack mount bracket ear holes to use when positioning the chassis
in the rack. Using the designated ear holes on the rack mount bracket simplifies installation of the cable
management bracket.
Installing the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router in a Rack
After installing the rack mount brackets on the chassis, you mount the chassis by securing the rack mount
brackets to the two posts or the mounting strips in the rack using the screws provided. Because the rack mount
brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, use all the screws to fasten the two rack mount brackets to
the rack posts.
Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions 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 the screw fasteners on the installed components are securely tightened.
2. Ensue 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 1002-X Router. This helps support the
chassis when you secure it to the rack.
4. Lift the chassis into position between the rack posts with the help of another person.
