Prepare for Rack-Mount Installation
Before you begin the rack-mounting tasks:
• Decide whether or not you want to front- mount or rear-mount the chassis
• Decide whether or not you want to attach cable-management brackets to your chassis.
Note If you install cable management brackets, make certain that you use the specified rack-mount ear holes as stated in
the procedure.
• Decide if a two-post or four-post rack-mount will be used

Rack-Mount the Router
This section provides information for rack-mounting the router.
Attach the Rack-Mount Brackets—Chassis Front-Mounted
Figure 1 Front Rack-Mount Brackets for the Cisco ASR 1004 Router
To install the rack-mount brackets on a Cisco ASR 1004 Router for a front rack-mount configuration, follow these steps:
Step 1 Locate the threaded holes in the front sides of the chassis.
Step 2 Align the rack-mount bracket to the side of the router. Depending on which set of rack-mount bracket holes you choose
to use to attach the rack-mount bracket to the router, the chassis will either be recessed in the rack or protrude from
the rack.
Step 3 Position the front rack-mount bracket top hole with the chassis first top hole behind the side vent holes as shown in
Figure 1 .
Step 4 Insert and tighten the screws on one side.
Step 5 Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 on the other side of the chassis. Use the black screws to secure the rack-mount brackets
to the chassis.
