Step 2 Slide the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the rack.

Step 3 Keeping the brackets flush against the posts or mounting strips, align the holes in the brackets with the holes on the rack or mounting strip.

Step 4 For each bracket, insert and tighten two screws to the rack on both sides.

This completes the procedure for installing the chassis in a two-post rack. Proceed to the “Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection” section on page 5-16to continue the installation.

Four-Post Rack Installation

The Cisco ASR 1004 Router can be flush-mounted in a 19-inch equipment rack using the rack-mounting kit provided with your system. The Cisco ASR 1004 Router can be mounted into the rack using two recommended methods:

•Installing the chassis in an existing rack with equipment.

•Installing an empty chassis in a rack with no equipment installed.

When handling the chassis, always follow proper lifting practices, see Chassis-Lifting Guidelines, page 3-20.
