Figure 1: Cisco ASR 9010 Router Packaged on a Shipping Pallet
A fully equipped router with six power modules can weigh as much as 375 lbs (170.5 kg); an empty chassis
weighs 150 lbs (67.8 kg). The chassis is designed to be lifted by two persons after you remove some of the
components, such as line cards, power supplies, and the fan tray, to reduce the weight before lifting the chassis.
See Removing Components Before Installing the Chassis, on page 20 for procedures to remove these
components.
