Pre-Installation Considerations and Requirements
Before you perform any procedures in this chapter, review the following sections:
Observe the guidelines for preventing electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage described in Preventing Electrostatic
Discharge Damage.
See the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router document for
additional safety and compliance information,
This router is not designed to be installed as a shelf-mounted or a free-standing router. The router must be
installed in a rack that is secured to the building structure. You must install the router in either a telco-style
frame or a 4-post equipment rack.
Caution
Installation Overview
The following figure shows how the Cisco ASR 9010 Router is shipped and strapped to a shipping pallet.
Unpacking and Installing the Chassis

Figure 1: Cisco ASR 9010 Router Packaged on a Shipping Pallet
A fully equipped router with six power modules can weigh as much as 375 lbs (170.5 kg); an empty chassis
weighs 150 lbs (67.8 kg). The chassis is designed to be lifted by two persons after you remove some of the
components, such as line cards, power supplies, and the fan tray, to reduce the weight before lifting the chassis.
See Removing Components Before Installing the Chassis, on page 20 for procedures to remove these
components.
Required Tools and Equipment
Before you begin the rack-mount installation, you must read and understand the information in the
Rack-Mounting and Air Flow Clearance Guidelines, page 1-24 , and have the following tools and equipment:
• ESD-preventive wrist strap
• Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers
• 1/4-inch (6.35-mm) and 3/16-inch (4.5-mm) flat-blade screwdrivers
• Tape measure
• Level (optional)

mounting flanges (also called rails ) in the rack. Five screws should be installed on each side of the
chassis.
• 11/16-inch (17.46-mm) wrench (for chassis hold-down bolts and pallet hold-down bracket bolts)
• 3/4-inch (19-mm) socket and ratchet wrench
