Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount Brackets

Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount Brackets

This section explains how to attach the front and rear rack-mount brackets to the chassis. Before installing the chassis in the rack, you must install the rack-mount brackets on each side of the chassis.

The parts and tools required for installing the rack-mount brackets and cable-management brackets are listed in the “Tools and Equipment” section on page 3-21.

Note The cable-management brackets are installed on the chassis after you install the chassis rack-mount brackets and mount the chassis in the rack.

Chassis Front Rack-Mount Brackets

Determine where in the rack you want the chassis to be mounted. If you are mounting more than one chassis in the rack, then start from the bottom up or the center of the rack. Figure 5-7shows the brackets attached to the chassis. Depending on the bracket holes you use, the chassis may protrude in the rack.

To install the front rack-mount brackets on a Cisco ASR 1004 Router, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Locate the threaded holes on the side of the chassis. Make certain that you hold the front rack-mount bracket with the ear and holes facing outward and towards the front of the chassis (see Figure 5-7).

Figure 5-7shows where to attach the front rack-mount brackets to the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.
