• The Cisco ASR 1002-X Router requires a minimum of 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) rack units of vertical rack
space. Measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.
• Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair rack mount
installation. If a power strip does impair a rack mount installation, remove the power strip before installing
the chassis, and replace the strip after the chassis is installed
.
• Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it back
near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or moving cards,
connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 19 inches (48.3 cm) of
clearance space to remove field-replaceable units.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 inches on the front side and back side of the chassis for the cooling
air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested rack or next
to another equipment rack; otherwise, the heated exhaust air from other equipment may enter the inlet
air vents and cause an overtemperature condition inside the router.
To prevent the chassis from overheating, never install a Cisco ASR 1002-X Router in an enclosed room that
is not properly ventilated or air conditioned.
Caution
• Always install the heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low center of gravity to
prevent the rack from falling over.
• Install and use the cable management brackets included with the Cisco ASR 1002-X Router to keep the
cables organized and out of the way of the cards and processors. Ensure that cables from other equipment
already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards or require you to disconnect cables
unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.
• Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.
• Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your router chassis.
In addition to the preceding guidelines, review the precautions for avoiding excessive temperature conditions
described in the “Site Environmental Requirements” section on page 5-9 .
