Two-Post Rack Installation

The Cisco ASR 1002 Router can be installed in a two-post rack, either 19 inch or 23 inch.

Note Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 19 inches (48.26 cm). The height of the chassis is 3.47 inches (8.8 cm). Airflow through the chassis is from front to back.

Caution If you are using a two-post rack secure the rack to the floor surface to prevent tipping and avoid bodily injury and component damage.

Step 1 Position the chassis so the front is closest to you and lift it carefully into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid any sudden twists or moves.

Figure 6-12shows where to attach the rear rack-mount brackets to the Cisco ASR 1002 Router.
