Removing Components Before Installing the Chassis

Step4 Use a scissors jack to remove the chassis from the shipping rack. Place a pallet jack next to the chassis

inside the shipping rack and push/pull the chassis onto the pallet jack for transport to the rack.

Caution Tilt the chassis only when absolutely necessary. The chassis is large and heavy. If it were to fall, it could

cause harm to itself and its surroundings. Before attempting to tilt the chassis, reduce the weight of the

system by removing all of the components in the chassis. The chassis should then be tilted in a direction

so that the rear of the chassis is facing downward. The distance the chassis travels without its packaging

should be as short as possible.

Step5 On the rear of the chassis is an integrated handle which is used to pull the chassis from the pallet jack

into the rack where the chassis is to be installed. Position the chassis so that the rear handle is facing the

front of the rack.

Step6 From the rear of the rack, pull the chassis by the handle into the rack, making sure that the chassis sits

on top of the guide rails in the rack.

Step7 Once the chassis is pulled into the rack and sits on top of the guide rails, use screws to fasten the chassis

to the rack.

Removing Components Before Installing the Chassis

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are designed to be lifted for mounting into a rack. To reduce the

weight of the system, you must remove some of the components before attempting to mount it into the

rack.

•Removing Cards from the Chassis, page2-23

The power modules for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are shipped separately. If you need to

remove an AC or DC power module at a later time, see Removing and Replacing Power System

Components, page 5-12.

Note If an accessory grill or fan tray cover is installed on the front of the router, you must remove it first.

Follow these steps to remove a fan tray from the Cisco ASR 9010 Router (Figure2-14), Cisco ASR 9922

Router (Figure 2-15), or CiscoASR 9912 Router (Figure 2-16).
