Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis Site Planning Guide
OL-5802-06
Chapter 4 Site Planning Considerations
Tools Required for Installation
• At least 48 inches (122 cm) of clearance exists between rows of equipment racks. This space is
needed to access components in the chassis. Additional clearance may be necessary for installation.
• Enough room exists for the system console terminal, and that the console cable is long enough to
reach the routing system from the terminal.
• Fan tray exhaust vents are not blocked, and airflow at the bottom of the chassis is not blocked.
When planning the site, you should think about potential expansion of the system. Consider the
following:
• Equipment rack space for additional chassis
• Power and cooling requirements for additional chassis
• Cable management for routing system cables

The following tools are required to install the Cisco CRS-1 8-Slot Line Card Chassis:

that the device is capable of preventing the router from tipping. For example, you could use a safety
hand truck with retractable safety leg wheels and a security strap, such as the Stevens Appliance
Truck Company “Escort,” Model STEV SRT-M-66 (distributed by McMaster-Carr as Model
2654T6) or an equivalent safety hand truck.
• A scissor lift or similar lifting device to position the chassis in the rack and hold the chassis in place
while you bolt it to the rack.

cordless drill)
