Chapter 2 Unpacking and Installing the Chassis

Installing the Cisco ASR 9001 Chassis

Installing the Chassis in a Four-Post Rack

If you are installing the chassis without air plenum kit, you will need two side mounting brackets used to attach the chassis to the rear posts as shown in Figure 2-5. See Before you Begin, page 2-4for mounting bracket information.

To install the chassis in a four-post open rack, follow these steps:

Step 1 Follow the steps in Installing the Chassis in a Two-Post Rack, page 2-6to secure the chassis to the front rack posts.

Step 2 For rear mounting, align each rear mounting bracket (Figure 2-5) with the screw holes on the chassis and the mounting holes in the rear rack posts.

Step 3 Fully tighten both screws to the chassis on each side to secure the chassis to the rear posts.
