Rack-Mounting the Cisco ASR 1001 Router
Note The chassis rack-mount brackets must be installed first so that you can attach the
cable-management brackets to the chassis rack-mount brackets after the chassis is installed in
the rack.
Step 7 Gather the two cable-management brackets and screws shipped with your chassis. Figure 12-13 shows
cable-management brackets attached on the front of the Cisco ASR 1001 Router.
Note Make certain that the cable-management ‘U’ feature device has the open end pointing upwards
when you attach it to the chassis.

continuing the installation.
