Preparing Your Site for Installation
Chassis-Lifting Guidelines
The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the system, ensure that your site
is properly prepared so you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate power sources
and network connections.
Two or more people are required to lift the chassis. Each time you lift the chassis or any heavy object,
follow these guidelines:

Warning
To prevent injury and equipment damage, never attempt to lift or tilt the router chassis using the
handles on the fan tray or on line cards. These handles do not support the weight of the chassis.
Each person should stand on either side of the chassis and place one hand under the air intake at the
Step 1
bottom front of the chassis.
With the other hand, grasp the top rear of the chassis under the air exhaust and carefully lift the chassis.
Step 2
Tools and Equipment
The tools and equipment listed below are recommended as the minimum necessary to install the
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router. You may need additional tools and equipment to install associated
equipment and cables. You may also require test equipment to check electronic and optical signal levels,
power levels, and communications links.

Never attempt to lift the chassis by yourself. Because of the size and weight of the chassis, use at
least two people to safely lift and move it without causing injury to yourself or damaging the
equipment.
Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the chassis between your feet.
Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. If you must bend down to lift the
chassis, bend at the knees, not at the waist, to reduce the strain on your back muscles.
Do not remove installed components from the chassis.
Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.General Safety
