Note The Cisco ASR 1006 Router usually ships fully loaded. However, you can remove components from the chassis to make the chassis lighter for your rack installation.
General Rack Installation Guidelines
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
•The Cisco ASR 1006 Router requires a minimum of 7 rack units (22.3 inches or 56.6 cm) of vertical rack space. Measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.
•Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair
•Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it back near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or moving cards, connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance to remove
•Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.62 cm) on the front, top, and sides of the chassis for the cooling air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or directly next to another equipment rack; otherwise, the heated exhaust air from other equipment can enter the inlet air vents and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.
Caution To prevent chassis overheating, never install a Cisco ASR 1006 Router in an enclosed room that is not properly ventilated or air conditioned.
•Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to prevent the rack from falling over.
