Installing the Router in a Rack

The following sections describe how to install the Cisco ASR 920 Series Router in a rack. The procedures in

this section apply to both horizontal and vertical mounting of the router in a rack:

Installing the Cisco ASR 920 Series Router

Installing the Chassis Brackets

The chassis is shipped with mounting brackets that can be installed on the front or rear of the chassis. To

install the brackets on the front of the chassis, perform these steps:

SUMMARY STEPS

1. Remove the rack-mount brackets from the accessory kit and position them beside the router chassis.

2. Position one of the brackets against the chassis side, and align the screw holes.

3. Secure the bracket to the chassis with the screws removed when performing Step 1 . The recommended

maximum torque is 10 in.-lb.

4. Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for the other bracket.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1 Remove the rack-mount brackets from the accessory kit and position them beside the router chassis.

The figure below shows how to attach the brackets at the front, middle, and rear positions on the Cisco ASR 920 Series

Router for a 19-inch EIA rack.

Step 2 Position one of the brackets against the chassis side, and align the screw holes.

Step 3 Secure the bracket to the chassis with the screws removed when performing Step 1 . The recommended maximum torque

is 10 in.-lb.

Step 4 Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for the other bracket.

Installing the Router Chassis in the Rack

Ensure adequate air flow when mounting the router in a rack. For more information, see the “Air Flow

Guidelines” section on page 11 .

Note

Install the cable guides before installing the router in a 19-inch EIA rack. See Attaching the Cable Guides.

Note

To install the router chassis in the equipment rack, perform these steps:

Installing the Cisco ASR 920 Series Router

Installing the Router Chassis in the Rack

SUMMARY STEPS

1. Position the chassis in the rack as follows:

2. Align the mounting holes in the bracket (and optional cable guide) with the mounting holes in the equipment

rack.

3. Install the four M6x12mm zinc-plated steel screws through the holes in the bracket and into the threaded

holes in the equipment rack posts.

4. Use a tape measure and level to verify that the chassis is installed straight and level.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1 Position the chassis in the rack as follows:

• If the front of the chassis (front panel) is at the front of the rack, insert the rear of the chassis between the mounting

posts.

• If the rear of the chassis is at the front of the rack, insert the front of the chassis between the mounting posts.

Step 2 Align the mounting holes in the bracket (and optional cable guide) with the mounting holes in the equipment rack.

The following figure shows how to install the Cisco ASR 920 Series Router in a 19-inch EIA rack.

Step 3 Install the four M6x12mm zinc-plated steel screws through the holes in the bracket and into the threaded holes in the

equipment rack posts.

Step 4 Use a tape measure and level to verify that the chassis is installed straight and level.

Attaching the Cable Guides

The Cisco ASR 920 Series Router supports the following cable guides:

• A920-CBL-GUIDE (left and right)—help in routing the cables from all components on the front panel

thereby enabling a proper cable-bending radius.

Attaching the Cable Guides

If the chassis is mounted using 19-inch brackets, you must assemble the cable guides before installing the

chassis on the rack.

Note

To install the cable guides, perform these steps:

SUMMARY STEPS

1. Position the cable guide-left and cable guide-right against the front of the chassis and align the four screw

holes, as shown in the fgure below.

2. Secure the cable guides with the four M6x12mm screws supplied with the cable kit. The recommended

maximum torque is 3N-m.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1 Position the cable guide-left and cable guide-right against the front of the chassis and align the four screw holes, as shown

in the fgure below.

Wall Mounting the Cisco ASR 920 Series Router

The figure below shows how to attach a 19-inch bracket to one side of the router. Follow the same steps to

attach the second bracket to the opposite side.

Figure 9: Attaching 19-inch Brackets for Wall Mounting

Mounting Cisco ASR 920 Series Router on the Wall

For the best support of the Cisco ASR 920 Series Router and cables, ensure the router is attached securely to

wall studs or to a firmly attached plywood mounting backboard.

Suitable for mounting on and over a concrete or other non-combustible surface only. Statement 345

Warning
