Installation Methods
Cisco ASR 1002 Router is designed for standalone, two rail 19-inch rack-mount (front rail only), four rail
19-inch rack-mount (front and rear rail).
Although rack-mounting is the preferred method of installation for the Cisco ASR 1002 Router, you can
mount the chassis on an equipment shelf or tabletop.
The Cisco ASR 1002 Router usually ships fully loaded. However, you can remove components from the
chassis to make the chassis lighter for your rack installation, such as the power supplies.
Note
This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you
work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with
standard practices for preventing accidents. Use the statement number provided at the end of each warning
to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings that accompanied this device. Statement 1071
Warning
Before you install, operate, or service the system, read the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information
for Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers publication. This document provides important
safety information you should know before working with the system. Statement 200
Warning
You have already unpacked your chassis and read all the site requirements for your new equipment.
Proceed with the installation.
Note
General Rack Installation Guidelines
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
•The Cisco ASR 1002 Router requires a minimum of 3.5 inches or 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 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 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.
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router Hardware Installation Guide
16
Cisco ASR 1002 Router Overview and Installation
Installation Methods

To prevent chassis overheating, never install a Cisco ASR 1002 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 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.
•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
in the Site Environmental Requirements”section on page 5-9 .

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 Router on an equipment shelf or tabletop, ensure that the surface is clean
and that you have considered the following:
•The Cisco ASR 1002 Router requires at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of clearance at the inlet and exhaust
vents (the front and top/rear sides of the chassis).
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router Hardware Installation Guide
17
Cisco ASR 1002 Router Overview and Installation
Guidelines for an Equipment Shelf or Tabletop Installation

•The Cisco ASR 1002 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
