Chapter2 Unpacking and Installing the Chassis
Rack-Mounting the Router Chassis
Installing the Chassis in a 2-Post RackThis section describes how to install the chassis in a 2-post telco-style rack. Two people can lift an empty
router chassis using the handles on the sides. To accommodate racks with different hole patterns in their
mounting flanges, the chassis rack-mounting flanges have three groups of eight oblong screw holes on
each side.
Caution An empty chassis weighs approximately 150pounds (68 kg). You need two people to slide the chassis
into the equipment rack safely.
Figure 2-38 shows the orientation of the CiscoASR 9010 Router chassis to the rack posts (3” or 6”
channel width) of an industry-standard 2-post rack and components used in the installation.
