Rack requirements is applicable only for Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers.
Note
The following information can help you plan your equipment rack configuration:
• Allow clearance around the rack for maintenance.
• Allow at least one rack unit of vertical space between routers; more clearance is required when stacking
multiple Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers. Provide adequate heat removal mechanism to
keep the surrounding air temperature well within the specified operating temperature condition.
More spacing may be required depending on the installation environment.
Note
• Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested because each router
generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air. The heat
generated by the equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the
equipment above it.
• When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the intake or exhaust
ports. If the chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the chassis when it is seated in the rack.
