Caution If you are using a two-post rack, secure the rack to the floor surface to prevent tipping and avoid bodily injury and
component damage.
Step 1 Position the chassis so the front is closest to you and lift it carefully into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid any sudden
twists or moves.
Step 2 Slide the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the rack-mount brackets meet the mounting strips or posts on both
sides of the rack.
Step 3 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting ears are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
Tip To allow space to attach the cable-management brackets to the chassis in the rack easily, make certain that you use the
rack-mount bracket ear holes specified in Step 4.
Step 4 Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails and follow these steps:
a. The Cisco ASR 1002 Router rack-mount bracket has 4 ear holes and two for the cable-management bracket. Insert the
bottom screw into the fifth hole from the top of the rack-mount ear and use a hand-held screwdriver to tighten the screw
to the rack rail.
b. Insert the top screw into the second hole from the top of the rack-mount bracket ear hole diagonally from the bottom
screw and tighten the screw to the rack rail. See Figure 4.
Step 5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other side of the chassis.
Note As a result of using the specified rack-mount bracket ear holes, the cable-management bracket can be easily
attached to the rack-mount bracket after the chassis is in the rack.
This completes the procedure for installing the chassis in a two-post rack. Proceed to the “Attach the Cable-Management
Bracket” section on page 8 to continue the installation.
Attach the Cable-Management Bracket
The cable-management bracket mount to each rack-mount bracket on the chassis to provide cable-management to both sides of
the chassis.
The cable-management brackets for the Cisco ASR 1002 Router contain one independent cable-management “U” type feature
with two screws for each bracket and provides cable dressing of each card module slots. For the ASR 1000 Series SPA interface,
these brackets work in tandem with shared port adapter product feature cable-management device to allow installation and
removal of adjacent cards without the need to remove cables.
Note Make certain that the cable-management bracket “U” type feature is facing upwards when you attach it to the chassis.
Follow these steps to attach the cable-management brackets to both sides of the Cisco ASR 1002 Router in the rack:
Step 1 Align the cable-management bracket to the rack-mount bracket on one side of the Cisco ASR 1002 Router. The
cable-management bracket aligns to the top hole of the chassis rack-mount bracket.
Step 2 Using a Phillips screwdriver, insert one screw through the cable-management bracket and into the chassis rack-mount
and tighten the screw.
Note Use the package of four screws that came with your Cisco ASR 1002 Router.
