Prepare for Rack-Mount Installation

Before you begin the rack-mounting tasks:

•Decide whether or not you want to front rack-mount or rear rack-mount the chassis

•Decide whether or not you want to attach cable-management brackets to your chassis.

Note If you install cable-management brackets, make certain that the chassis is installed in the equipment rack first.

•Decide if a two-post or four-post rack-mount will be used.

This section provides information for rack-mounting the router.

Attach the Rack-Mount Brackets—Chassis Front-Mounted

To install the rack-mount brackets on a Cisco ASR 1006 Router for a front rack-mount configuration, follow these steps:

Step 1 Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis. Make certain that you hold the front rack-mount bracket with the ear and holes facing outward and towards the front of the chassis.

Step 2 Align the rack-mount bracket to the side of the router. Depending on which set of rack-mount bracket holes you choose to use to attach the rack-mount bracket to the router, the chassis will either be recessed in the rack or protrude from the rack.

Step 3 Position the front rack-mount bracket top hole with the chassis first top hole behind the side vent holes as shown in Figure 1Figure 1.
