Chapter 6 Cisco ASR 1002 Router Overview and Installation

Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount Brackets

Step 5 Install the chassis in a rack. To install the Cisco ASR 1002 Router in a rack, go to the Installing the Cisco ASR 1002 Router in a Rack, page 6-17.

This completes the steps for attaching the front rack-mount brackets to the Cisco ASR 1002 Router.

Chassis Rear Rack-Mount Brackets

If you are rack mounting the chassis using the rear rack-mount brackets, then this type of installation provides for the chassis being recessed in the rack.

To install the rear rack-mount brackets on a Cisco ASR 1002 Router, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Locate the threaded holes on the rear side of the chassis. Make certain that you hold the rear rack-mount bracket with the ear and holes facing outward and towards the rear of the chassis.

Figure 6-11shows where to attach the rear rack-mount brackets to the Cisco ASR 1002 Router.

Step 2 Position the rear rack-mount bracket top hole with the chassis top hole from the back. Step 3 Insert and tighten the screws on one side.

Step 4 Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on the other side of the chassis. Use the remaining screws to secure the rear rack-mount brackets to the chassis.

This completes the steps for attaching the rear rack-mount brackets to the Cisco ASR 1002 Router.

Caution To make installation easier, before you mount the ASR 1002 Router in a rack, make certain you read which rack-mount bracket ear holes to use when positioning the chassis in the rack. As a result of using the designated ear holes on the rack-mount bracket, the cable-management bracket installation will be made easier.
