Cisco ASR 5500 Installation Procedure Overview

Clearance
Adequate clearance must be maintained at the front and rear of the ASR 5500 chassis to assure proper air
flow and allow maintenance access for the installation, removal and replacement of components. The
recommended clearance is 36 inches (92 centimeters) at the front and rear of the chassis.
ESD Precautions
Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to the chassis, its sub-components and/or the cards
installed in the chassis. To prevent damage from ESD, you must take proper grounding precautions before
handling the chassis or any of its components.
The chassis and its mounting brackets are equipped with ESD jacks (see the figure below). Use the jacks in
conjunction with grounding wrist straps when handling the chassis and/or its components. The following
figure shows the location of the jacks.
