To install the chassis in the rack, follow these steps:
On the chassis, ensure that all captive screws (on the processor modules and on the access
Step 1
cover) are tightened.
Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed. If the rack is on wheels, ensure that
Step 2
the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise immobilized.
If you are performing a first-time installation, proceed to the next step. Otherwise,
Step 3
disconnect the power cord and all interface cables before moving the chassis. If necessary,
tag each interface cable with its current slot/port address so that you can easily reconnect it
to that port after the chassis is installed in the rack.
Never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis with the handles on the interface processor carriers
Warning
or with the cable management brackets. Neither the handles nor the brackets are designed to support
the weight of the chassis.
Step 4
Position the chassis so that the end with the ears attached is closest to you, then lift the
chassis and move it to the rack. Avoid sudden twists or moves to prevent injury.
Insert the rear of the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the ears meet the front
Step 5
mounting strips or posts on both sides of the equipment rack.
While keeping the chassis ears flush against the posts or mounting strips, slide the router
Step 6
up or down until the holes in the ears are aligned with those in the mounting strips.
From the front of the rack, insert all eight 10-32 x 3/8-inch, slotted screws (four on each
Step 7
side) through the chassis ears and into the mounting strip.
Step 8
When all screws are inserted, use a 1/4-inch, flat-blade screwdriver to tighten each one.
Step 9
You can remove the four chassis feet to gain an extra 1/2-inch of vertical space below the
chassis. However, we recommend that you allow at least 1 or 2 inches of vertical clearance
above and below the chassis, which is greater than the height of the feet. If necessary, use
a 1/4-inch, flat-blade screwdriver to remove the feet.
Step 10
If you are installing the router for the first time, proceed to the next section to install the
cable management brackets.
To continue with the installation, refer to the Cisco 7010 Hardware Installation and
Maintenance or Cisco 7505 Hardware Installation and Maintenance publications.
Otherwise, if you disconnected the power and interface cables in Step 3, reconnect the
power cord and network interface cables.
This completes the rack-mount installation.
