Chapter 5 Cisco ASR 1004 Router Overview and Installation

Guidelines for an Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation

Install and use the cable-management brackets included with the Cisco ASR 1004 Router to keep cables organized and out of the way of the cards and processors. Ensure that cables from other equipment already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards or require you to disconnect cables unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.

Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.

Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router chassis.

In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding excessive temperature conditions in the “Site Environmental Requirements” section on page 3-8.

Table 5-1provides the Cisco ASR 1004 Router dimensions and weight information.

Guidelines for an Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation

The chassis should already be in the area where you will install it. If you have not determined where to install your chassis, see Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Components, page 2-1for information about site considerations.

If you are not rack-mounting your Cisco ASR1000 series chassis, place it on a sturdy equipment shelf or tabletop.

When installing the Cisco ASR 1004 Router on an equipment shelf or tabletop, ensure that the surface is clean and that you have considered the following:

The Cisco ASR 1004 Router requires at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust vents (the front and top/rear sides of the chassis).

The Cisco ASR 1004 Router should be installed off the floor. Dust that accumulates on the floor is drawn into the interior of the router by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the router can cause overtemperature conditions and component failures.

There must be approximately 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the chassis to install and replace FRUs, or to access network cables and equipment.

The Cisco ASR 1004 Router needs adequate ventilation. Do not install it in an enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate.
