Four-Post Rack Installation

This section describes the types of racks used for rack-mounting the chassis.

Figure 3 Installing the Cisco ASR 1004 Router in a Four-Post Rack

Note Because the rack-mount brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all screws to fasten the two

rack-mount brackets on the chassis to the rack posts.

Note We recommend that you allow at least 1 or 2 inches (2.54 or 5.08 cm) of vertical clearance between the router and any

equipment directly above and below it.

To install the chassis in the rack, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Make sure the rack brakes are locked or the rack is stabilized. Mount the chassis by securing the rack-mount brackets

to two posts or mounting strips in the rack using the screws provided.

Step 2 On the chassis, ensure that all screw fasteners on the installed components are securely tighten.

Step 3 Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed. If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or

that the rack is otherwise stabilized. See the next sections on the types of racks you can use to install the chassis.

Step 4 (Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1004 Router.
