CiscoASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide
Chapter1 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirement Guidelines
•When fully populated with cards, the router can weigh up to 1038pounds (470.28 kg). To maintain
equipment rack stability and to ensure your safety, the rack is provided with stabilizing devices.
Make sure you install the stabilizers before installing the router.
•If you use a telco-style rack, the weight of the chassis is cantilevered off of the two rack posts. Make
sure that:
–
Weight of the router does not make the frame unstable.
–
Frame is bolted to the floor and is secured to the building structure using either wall brackets or
overhead brackets.
•When mounting the router in a telco-style rack or 4-post rack, be sure to use all of the screws
provided to secure the chassis to the rack posts.
•Install the cable-management brackets included with the router to keep cables organized. Be sure to:
–
Use appropriate strain-relief methods to protect cables and equipment connections.
–
Make sure that cables from other equipment installed in the rack do not restrict access to the
card cages.
•To avoid noise interference in network interface cables, do not route them directly across or along
power cables.
