the leash to the chassis as shown in the figure below.

Lifting Guidelines
A fully-configured Cisco ASR 9901 can weigh as much as 55.97 pounds (25.4 kg). A fully-configured Cisco
ASR 9001 Router can weigh as much as 37.91 pounds (17.2 kg). These systems are not intended to be moved
frequently. Before you install the router, ensure that you have planned the installation and migration of the
router into your network so that you can avoid having to move the router later to accommodate power sources
and network connections.
Use these lifting guidelines to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the equipment:
• Do not lift equipment alone; have another person help you to lift the equipment.
• Ensure that your footing is solid; balance the weight of the object between your feet.
• Lift the equipment slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
• Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. When bending down to lift equipment,
bend at the knees (not at the waist), to reduce the strain on your lower back muscles.
To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the
handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to
support the weight of the unit. Statement 1032
