Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket
Note Use the third hole up from the bottom of the rack-mount bracket and the third hole down from the top
of the rack-mount bracket. See
Figure 4-10 for position and location of the ear holes on the rack-mount
bracket.
Step 3 Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails while the second person finger-tightens a screw
to the rack rails on each side of the chassis.
Step 4 Finger-tighten 4 more screws to the rack rails on each side of the chassis.
Step 5 Tighten all screws on each side to secure the chassis to the equipment rack.
Step 6 Use a level to verify that the tops of the two brackets are level, or use a measuring tape to verify that both
brackets are the same distance from the top of the rack rails.
This completes the procedure for installing the chassis in the rack. Proceed to the “Attaching the
Cable-Management Bracket” section on page 4-16 to continue the installation.
Attaching the Cable-Management Bracket
The cable-management brackets mount to each rack-mount bracket on the chassis to provide
cable-management to both sides of the chassis (parallel with card orientation). These brackets are screw
mounted to the rack-mount brackets to allow easy installation and removal of cables.
The cable-management brackets for the Cisco ASR 1006 Router contain 5 independent
cable-management “U” type features with four screws and provides cable dressing of each card module
slots. For Cisco ASR 1000 SIPs, these brackets work in tandem with shared port adapter product feature
cable-management device to allow installation and removal of adjacent cards without the need to remove
cables.
Note Make certain that the cable-management bracket “U” type feature is facing upwards when you attach it
to the chassis.
Follow these steps to attach the cable-management brackets to both sides of the Cisco ASR 1006 Router
in the rack:
Step 1 Align the cable-management bracket to the rack-mount bracket on one side of the Cisco ASR 1006
Router. The cable-management bracket aligns to the top hole of the chassis rack-mount bracket.
Step 2 Using a Phillips screwdriver, insert the screw through cable-management bracket and into the chassis
rack-mount and tighten the screw.
Note Use the package of screws that came with your chassis containing four screws.
Step 3 Using the bottom rack-mount ear hole, insert the screw through cable-management bracket and into the
chassis rack-mount (see
Figure 4-10).
