Rack-Mounting the Cisco ASR 1002-F Router

The Cisco ASR 1002-F Router can be installed in an existing rack with equipment or in an empty rack with

no equipment. The chassis can be mounted in two equipment rack types:

• Two-post rack, 19-inch or 23-inch equipment rack. Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides

Note

If you are using a two-post rack, secure the rack to the floor surface to prevent tipping and avoid bodily injury.

• Four-post, 19-inch equipment rack. Inner clearance (the width between the inner sides of the two posts

The Cisco ASR 1002-F Router can be installed with both front or rear rack-mount brackets.

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 two holes on the left and right mounting rails. The distance should

measure 18.31 inches ± 0.06 inches (46.5 cm ± 0.15 cm).

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, which is

17.25 inches (43.8 cm) wide and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Mark and measure the distance between two 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
