Installing The Chassis In A 4-Post Open Rack; Preparing The 19 Inch 45-Ru Rack - Cisco ASR 9000 Series Installation Manual

Rack-Mounting the Router Chassis

Installing the Chassis in a 4-post Open Rack

To mount the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9922 Router or Cisco ASR 9912 Router chassis in a
4-post open rack, two side brackets must be attached to the chassis and the rear posts. See
for the Cisco ASR 9010 Router and
Cisco ASR 9912 Router.
To mount the Cisco ASR 9006 Router (see
a 4-post open rack, extra brackets are not required.

Preparing the 19 Inch 45-RU Rack

To prepare the 19 Inch 45-RU rack that will contain either the Cisco ASR 9922 Router chassis or
Cisco ASR 9912 Router chassis:
Install the two guide rails into the bottom of the rack (see
Step 1
The two guide rails at the bottom of the rack are included in the ASR-9922-ACC-KIT and
ASR-9912-ACC-KIT accessory kits. Use screws to fasten these two guide rails into the front and rear
rails of the rack.
The two guide rails have six holes (three per rail) that accommodate 12-24 or M6 screws. If you want to
use smaller 10-32 screws, you must use them with bushings to fit the larger holes (see
bottom rail is keyed to the EIA mounting hole pattern. Install the rails at the first RU location. The rear
rack mount brackets are installed by aligning the bracket mounting holes to the holes on the rear cover
of the chassis.
Use a scissors jack to remove the chassis from the shipping rack. Place a pallet jack next to the chassis
Step 2
inside the shipping rack and push/pull the chassis onto the pallet jack for transport to the rack.
