TheCisco ASR 9922 Router and Cisco ASR 9912 Router and each ship in a carton similar to the CRS-1
16-Slot shipping carton. Each chassis is installed in a shipping rack used only for shipping purposes.
Remove the chassis from the shipping rack before installing it into the rack.
To prepare the 19-inch 45-RU rack:
Step1 Install the two guide rails onto the bottom of the rack.
The guide rails are included with the ASR-9922-ACC-KIT and ASR-9912-ACC-KIT accessory kits.
Each accessory kit ships with the chassis and includes the guide rails, grounding lug, associated
hardware, and a warranty card.
Step2 Use screws to fasten these two guide rails onto the front and rear rails of the rack.
The two guide rails at the bottom of the rack (Figure2-8) have six holes (three per rail) that
accommodate 12-24 or M6 screws. If you are using smaller 10-32 screws, you must use bushings to fit
the larger holes (Figure 2-13).
