Warning
General Rack Installation Guidelines
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
•The Cisco ASR 1002-F Router requires a minimum of 3.5 inches or 8.9 cm of vertical rack space. Measure
the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.
•Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair rack-mount
installation. If a power strip does impair a rack-mount installation, remove the power strip before installing
the chassis, and then replace it after the chassis is installed.
• Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it back
near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or moving cards,
connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 19 inches/48.3 cm) of
clearance to remove field-replaceable units.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 inches/7.62 cm on the front and back sides of the chassis for the
cooling air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack
or directly next to another equipment rack; otherwise, the heated exhaust air from other equipment can
enter the inlet air vents and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.
To prevent chassis overheating, never install a Cisco ASR 1002-F Router in an enclosed room that is not
properly ventilated or air-conditioned.
Caution
• Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to prevent
the rack from falling over
.
• Install and use the cable-management brackets included with the Cisco ASR 1002-F Router to keep
cables organized and out of the way of the cards and processors. Ensure that cables from other equipment
already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards or require you to disconnect cables
unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades
.
• Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis
.

Guidelines for an Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation
The chassis should already be in the area where you will install it. If you have not determined where to install
your chassis, see the “Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Component Overview” section on page 2-1 for
information about site considerations.
If you are not rack-mounting your Cisco ASR 1000 series chassis, place it on a sturdy equipment shelf or
tabletop.
When installing the Cisco ASR 1002-F Router on an equipment shelf or tabletop, ensure that the surface is
clean and that you have considered the following:
• The Cisco ASR 1002-F Router requires at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust
vents (the front and rear sides of the chassis).
• The Cisco ASR 1002-F Router should be installed off the floor. Dust that accumulates on the floor is
drawn into the interior of the router by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the router can cause
overtemperature conditions and component failures
.
• There must be approximately 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the chassis to
install and replace FRUs, or to access network cables and equipment.
• The Cisco ASR 1002-F Router needs adequate ventilation. Do not install it in an enclosed cabinet where
ventilation is inadequate.
• Have the cable-management bracket available if you plan to install it on the front of the chassis.
• An adequate chassis ground (earth) connection exists for your router chassis
(see the Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection, on page 24).
• Always follow proper lifting practices as outlined in the next section, when handling the chassis.

Installing the Cisco ASR 1002-F Router in a Rack
After installing the rack-mount brackets on the chassis, you mount the chassis by securing the rack-mount
brackets to two posts or mounting strips in the rack using the screws provided.
Because the rack-mount brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all the screws to fasten
the rack-mount brackets to the rack posts.
Note
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to
ensure that the system remains stable.
Danger
The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack
.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the
unit in the rack. Statement 1006
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, perform the following steps:
Step 1 On the chassis, ensure that all screws on the installed components are securely tightened.
Step 2 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. For chassis rack-mount installation types, see the “Two-Post Rack Installation” or the
“Four-Post Rack Installation.”
Step 3 (Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support Cisco ASR 1002-F Router. If you use a shelf, this will help support the
chassis while you secure it to the rack.
Step 4 Lift the chassis into position between the rack posts.
Step 5 Align the mounting bracket ear holes with the rack post holes to attach the chassis to the rack.
If you are using a shelf, raise the chassis to the level of the shelf. Let the bottom of the chassis rest on the
brackets, but continue to support the chassis.
Note
Step 6 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
Step 7 Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails in the equipment rack and follow these steps:
a) Insert the bottom screw into the second bracket ear hole up from the bottom of the rack-mount ear and use a hand-held
screwdriver to tighten the screw to the rack rail.
b) Insert the top screw into the second bracket ear hole from the top of the rack-mount ear diagonally from the bottom
screw and tighten the screw to the rack rail.

c) Insert the four screws to secure the chassis to the rack equipment.
As a result of using the specified rack-mount bracket ear holes, the cable-management bracket can be easily
attached to the rack-mount bracket when the chassis is in the rack.
Tip
Step 8 Tighten all screws on each side to secure the chassis to the equipment rack.
What to do next
You can install your Cisco ASR 1002-F Router on a two-post or four-post rack. See the “Two-Post Rack
Installation” or the “Four-Post Rack Installation.”
Two-Post Rack Installation
The Cisco ASR 1002-F Router can be installed on a two-post rack, either a 19-inch or 23-inch rack.
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.
Note
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.
Caution
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.
The folowing image shows the Cisco ASR 1002-F Router on a two-post rack.
