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)

Positioning the Router
Positioning the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco 9904 Router, Cisco ASR 9906
Router, Cisco ASR 9910 Router, and Cisco ASR 9912 Router
Use a safety hand truck to move the Cisco ASR 9006 Router, Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco ASR 9904
Router, Cisco ASR 9906 Router, Cisco ASR 9910 Router, or Cisco ASR 9912 Router to its final location for
rack installation.
Positioning the Cisco ASR 9922 Router
The Cisco ASR 9922 Router ships in a carton similar to the CRS-1 16-Slot shipping carton. Each chassis is
installed in a shipping rack used only for shipping purposes. Remove the chassis from the shipping rack before
installing it into the rack.
To prepare the 19-inch 45-RU rack:
Procedure
Step 1 Install the two guide rails onto the bottom of the rack.
The guide rails are included with the ASR-9922-ACC-KIT accessory kits. Each accessory kit ships with the
chassis and includes the guide rails, grounding lug, associated hardware, and a warranty card.
Step 2 Use screws to fasten these two guide rails onto the front and rear rails of the rack.
The two guide rails at the bottom of the rack (Unpacking the Cisco ASR 9922 Router, on page 14) have six
holes (three per rail) that accommodate 12-24 or M6 screws. If you are using smaller 10-32 screws, you must
use bushings to fit the larger holes (see the figure below).
Figure 12: One 10-32 Screw with Bushings in Guide Rail Holes
Delrin bushings with part number 17234-D-1 can be obtained from ASM at www.accuratescrew.com.
Note
Step 3 Remove the shipping carton, plastic covering, rear brackets, attachment screws and bolts, shipping rack bar,
and any cosmetic accessories included with the chassis.

Unpacking and Installing the Chassis
Positioning the Router

Step 4 Use a scissors jack to remove the chassis from the shipping rack. Place a pallet jack next to the chassis inside
the shipping rack and push/pull the chassis onto the pallet jack for transport to the rack.
Tilt the chassis only when absolutely necessary. The chassis is large and heavy. If it were to fall, it
could cause harm to itself and its surroundings. Before attempting to tilt the chassis, reduce the
weight of the system by removing all of the components in the chassis. The chassis should then be
tilted in a direction so that the rear of the chassis is facing downward. The distance the chassis
travels without its packaging should be as short as possible.
Caution
Step 5 On the rear of the chassis is an integrated handle which is used to pull the chassis from the pallet jack into the
rack where the chassis is to be installed. Position the chassis so that the rear handle is facing the front of the
rack.
Step 6 From the rear of the rack, pull the chassis by the handle into the rack, making sure that the chassis sits on top
of the guide rails in the rack.
Step 7 Once the chassis is pulled into the rack and sits on top of the guide rails, use screws to fasten the chassis to
the rack.
Removing Components Before Installing the Chassis
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are designed to be lifted for mounting into a rack. To reduce the weight
of the system, you must remove some of the components before attempting to mount it into the rack.
Removing Power Modules
The power modules for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers are shipped separately. If you need to remove an
AC or DC power module at a later time, see Removing and Replacing Power System Components, page 5-14
.
Removing Fan Trays
If an accessory grill or fan tray cover is installed on the front of the router, you must remove it first.
Note
Removing a Fan Tray from the Cisco ASR 9010 Router, Cisco 9910 Router, Cisco ASR 9922 Router,
and Cisco ASR 9912 Router
Follow these steps to remove a fan tray from the Cisco ASR 9010 Router (Figure 13: Removing or Installing
the Fan Tray on the Cisco ASR 9010 Router Chassis, on page 21), Cisco ASR 9910 Router (Figure 14:
Removing or Installing the Fan Tray on the Cisco ASR 9910 Router Chassis, on page 22), Cisco ASR 9922
Router (Figure 15: Removing or Installing the Fan Tray on the Cisco ASR 9922 Router Chassis, on page 23),
or Cisco ASR 9912 Router (Figure 16: Removing or Installing the Fan Tray on the Cisco ASR 9912 Router
Chassis, on page 23).
