Safety Guidelines
Before you perform any procedure in this guide, you must review the safety guidelines in this section to avoid
injuring yourself or damaging the equipment.
Note that this section contains guidelines and do not include every potentially hazardous situation. When you
install a router, always use common sense and caution.

General Safety Guidelines
•Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you to lift by yourself.
•Always disconnect the power source and unplug all power cables before lifting, moving, or working on
the router.
•Keep the work area clear and dust free during and after the installation.
•Keep tools and router components away from walkways and equipment rack aisles.
•Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (including rings and chains), or other items that could get caught
in the router.
•Fasten your tie or scarf and sleeves.
•Operate Cisco equipment safely by using it in accordance with its electrical ratings and product usage
instructions.
•Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
•Always unplug the power cables when performing maintenance or working on the router, unless the
replacement part is hot swappable and designed for online insertion and removal (OIR).
•Ensure that the installation of the router is in compliance with national and local electrical codes: in the
United States, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, United States National Electrical Code;
in Canada, Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CSA C22.1; in other countries, International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) 364, part 1 through part 7.
Compliance and Safety Information
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are designed to meet the regulatory compliance and safety approval
requirements. For detailed safety information, see: Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers.
Laser Safety
Single-mode Cisco ASR 9000 Series line cards are equipped with lasers. The lasers emit invisible radiation.
>Do not stare into open line card ports. Observe the following warning to prevent eye injury:
Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the port when no cable is connected,
avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures. Statement 70
Danger
Energy Hazard
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers can be configured for a DC power source. Do not touch terminals while
they are live. Observe the following warning to prevent injury.

Safety Guidelines

Hazardous voltage or energy may be present on power terminals. Always replace cover when terminals
are not in service. Be sure uninsulated conductors are not accessible when cover is in place. Statement
1086
Danger
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Many router components can be damaged by static electricity. Not exercising the proper electrostatic discharge
(ESD) precautions can result in intermittent or complete component failures. To minimize the potential for
ESD damage, always use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap (or ankle strap) and ensure that it makes
good skin contact.
Check the resistance value of the ESD-preventive strap periodically. The measurement should be between
1 and 10 megohms.
Note
Before you perform any procedure in this guide, attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist and connect
the leash to the chassis as shown in the figure below.

Lifting Guidelines
Fully configured Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers can weigh as much as 1038 pounds (470.28 kg), and an
empty chassis weighs up to 300 pounds (136 kg). These systems are not intended to be moved frequently.
Before you install the router, ensure that your site is properly prepared to prevent moving the router later to
accommodate power sources and network connections.
Use the following lifting guidelines to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the equipment:
•Do not lift equipment alone; have another person help you to lift heavy equipment.
•Ensure that your footing is solid; balance the weight of the object between your feet.
•Lift the equipment slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
•Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. When bending down to lift equipment,
bend at the knees (not at the waist), to reduce the strain on your lower back muscles.
To prevent injury and equipment damage, never attempt to lift or tilt the router chassis using the handles
on the fan tray or on line cards. These handles do not support the weight of the chassis.

Site Requirement Guidelines
The following sections contain the site requirement guidelines that you should be familiar with before installing
the router:
Site Layout and Equipment Dimensions
To help maintain trouble-free operation, adhere to the following precautions and guidelines when planning
your rack installation:
•Install the system in a restrictive access location with means for a permanent ground.
•Ensure the site of the rack includes provisions for source AC or DC power, grounding, and network
interface cables.
•Allow sufficient space to work around the rack during the installation. You need:
◦At least 3 ft (91.44 cm) adjacent to the rack to move, align, and insert the chassis.
◦At least 2 ft (60.96 cm) in front of the power tray to insert power modules.
•Maintain at least 24 inches (61 cm) of clearance in front of and behind the chassis for maintenance after
installation.
•To mount the router between two posts or rails, the usable aperture (the width between the inner edges
of the two mounting flanges) must be at least:
◦17.50 inches (44.45 cm) for the Cisco ASR 9010 Router.
◦17.75 inches (45.09 cm) for the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, Cisco ASR 9904 Router.

Site Requirement Guidelines

◦17.60 inches (44.70 cm) for the Cisco ASR 9910 Router.
•To mount the router in a 4-post rack, the usable aperture (the width between the inner edges of the two
mounting flanges) must be at least 17.75 inches (45.09 cm) for the Cisco ASR 9922 Router or Cisco
ASR 9912 Router.
•Height of the Cisco ASR 9010 Router is 36.75 inches (93.35 cm). Most racks accommodate two ASR
9010 routers.
•Height of the Cisco ASR 9006 Router is 17.50 inches (44.45 cm). Most racks accommodate four ASR
9006 routers.
•Height of the Cisco ASR 9904 Router is 10.38 inches (26.36 cm). Most racks accommodate seven ASR
9904 routers.
•Height of the Cisco ASR 9910 Router is 36.70 inches (93.28 cm). Most racks accommodate two ASR
9910 routers.
•Height of the Cisco ASR 9922 Router is 77.00 inches (195.58 cm). Most racks accommodate one ASR
9922 router.
•Height of the Cisco ASR 9912 Router is 52.50 inches (133.35 cm). Most racks accommodate one ASR
9912 router.
•When fully populated with cards, the router can weigh up to 1038 pounds (470.28 kg). To maintain
equipment rack stability and to ensure your safety, the rack is provided with stabilizing devices. Make
sure you install the stabilizers before installing the router.
•If you use a telco-style rack, the weight of the chassis is cantilevered off of the two rack posts. Make
sure that:
◦Weight of the router does not make the frame unstable.
◦Frame is bolted to the floor and is secured to the building structure using either wall brackets or
overhead brackets.
•When mounting the router in a telco-style rack or 4-post rack, be sure to use all of the screws provided
to secure the chassis to the rack posts.
•Install the cable-management brackets included with the router to keep cables organized. Be sure to:
◦Use appropriate strain-relief methods to protect cables and equipment connections.
◦Make sure that cables from other equipment installed in the rack do not restrict access to the card
cages.
•To avoid noise interference in network interface cables, do not route them directly across or along power
cables.
