General Rack Installation Guidelines
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
Cisco ASR 1002-X Router Overview and Installation
12
Cisco ASR 1002-X Router Overview and Installation
Installation Methods

• The Cisco ASR 1002-X Router requires a minimum of 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) rack units 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 replace the strip 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 space to remove field-replaceable units.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 inches on the front side and back side of the chassis for the cooling
air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or next
to another equipment rack; otherwise, the heated exhaust air from other equipment may enter the inlet
air vents and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.
To prevent the chassis from overheating, never install a Cisco ASR 1002-X Router in an enclosed room that
is not properly ventilated or air conditioned.
Caution
• Always install the 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-X Router to keep the
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.
• Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router chassis.
In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding excessive temperature conditions
described in the “Site Environmental Requirements” section on page 5-9 .
The following table provides the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router dimensions and weight information.

General Rack Installation Guidelines

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-X Router on an equipment shelf or tabletop, ensure that the surface is
clean and that you have considered the following:
• The Cisco ASR 1002-X Router requires at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust
vents (the front, top, and rear sides of the chassis).
• The Cisco ASR 1002-X 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-X Router needs adequate ventilation. Do not install it in an enclosed cabinet where
ventilation is inadequate.
• Ensure that the cable management bracket is 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 26
• When handling the chassis, always follow proper lifting practices as outlined in the “Electrical Safety”
section on page 5-21 .

no equipment. The chassis can be mounted on either of these rack types:
• Two-post rack, either 19-inch or 23-inch equipment 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). Air flow through the chassis is from front to back.
• Four-post, 19-inch equipment 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). Air flow
through the chassis is from front to back.
When handling the chassis, always follow proper lifting practices. See the “Chassis-Lifting Guidelines” section
on page 5-23 .

Verifying Rack Dimensions
Before you install the chassis, measure the space between the vertical mounting flanges (rails) on your
equipment rack to verify that the rack conforms to the measurements shown in the following image.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Mark and measure the distance between the holes on the left and right mounting rails.
2. Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the
equipment rack.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Mark and measure the distance between the holes on the left and right mounting rails.
The distance should measure 18.31 inches ± 0.06 inches (46.5 cm ± 0.15 cm).
Measure for pairs of holes near the bottom, middle, and top of the equipment rack to ensure that the rack posts
are parallel.
Note
Step 2 Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the equipment rack.
The space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis that is 17.25 inches (43.8 cm) wide and fits
between the mounting posts on the rack.

The cable management brackets are attached to the chassis after you install the chassis rack mount brackets
on the chassis and mount the chassis in the rack.
Note
Chassis Front Rack Mount Brackets
Determine where you want the chassis to be mounted in the rack. If you are mounting more than one chassis
in the rack, start from the bottom up or the center of the rack. Figure 11: Attaching the Front Rack Mount
Brackets to the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router, on page 18 shows the brackets attached to the chassis. Depending
on the bracket holes you use, the chassis may protrude in the rack.
To install the front rack mount brackets on the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router, perform the following steps:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Locate the threaded holes on the side of the chassis. Ensure that you hold the front rack mount bracket
with the ear and holes facing outward and towards the front of the chassis.
2. Position the front rack mount bracket’s top hole with the chassis, first top hole behind the side vent holes.
3. Insert and tighten the black screws shipped with the router on one side.
4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 on the other side of the chassis. Use the black screws to secure the rack
mount brackets to the chassis.
5. Install the chassis in a rack. To install the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router in a rack, see the information provided
in the Installing the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router in a Rack, on page 20.
DETAILED STEPS

Caution
Installing the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router in a Rack
After installing the rack mount brackets on the chassis, you mount the chassis by securing the rack mount
brackets to the two posts or the mounting strips in the rack using the screws provided. Because the rack mount
brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, use all the screws to fasten the two rack mount brackets to
the rack posts.
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. 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
Warning
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:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. On the chassis, ensure that all the screw fasteners on the installed components are securely tightened.
2. Ensue 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.)
3. (Optional) Install a shelf in the rack to support the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router. This helps support the
chassis when you secure it to the rack.
4. Lift the chassis into position between the rack posts with the help of another person.
