Available aperture in rack for two chassis in a single rack:

  • 78.6 in. (199.6 cm)

Width

Vertical posts:

  • 19.5 in. (49.5 cm) inside-to-inside minimum
  • 23.6 in. (60.0 cm) outside-to-outside maximum

Depth

Exterior of four-post rack:

  • Optional: 30, 36, or 42 in. (76.2, 91.4, or 106.7 cm) and other standard depths allowed, allow less space for cable management

Equipment Rack Specifications (continued)

Load (weight) rating

The rack must support the following weights and specifications:

  • 650 lb. (294.8 kg) single chassis with full cosmetics
  • 1300 lb. (589.7 kg) two chassis, each with full cosmetics
  • 95 lb. (43.0 kg) or more for each chassis for cabling
  • Additional weight of other components in rack
Note    ANSI specification T1.336 (2003), which defines static load and safety margins, recommends that racks be designed to support at least two times the anticipated load.
Note    See ANSI specification T1.329 (2002) for dynamic load requirements and earthquake resistance specifications.

Chassis and rack footprint(floor contact area)

(60 cm rack width by 91.4 cm chassis depth)

Maximum floor loading

600 lb/4.5 sq. ft. = 133 lb/sq. ft. (without cosmetics)272.2 kg/4134.2 sq. cm = 0.07 kg/sq. cm

650 lb/4.9 sq. ft. = 132.7 lb/sq. ft. (with cosmetics)294.8 kg/4580.1 sq. cm = 0.06 kg/sq. cm

Note    Be sure to include the weight of the rack when you consider floor loading requirements. The above numbers do not include rack weight.

Rack Anchoring

General considerations

  • The rack must be bolted to the floor. For more information, see the Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis Enhanced Router Unpacking, Moving, and Securing Guide.
  • Consider floor and overhead anchoring requirements for the site, and size and load capacity of anchors and floor structure.
  • Make sure that floor mounting bolts are accessible, especially if annual retorquing of bolts is required.

Floor mounting holes

  • Outrigger L-brackets: Depends on chosen rack
  • Internal frame holes: Depends on chosen rack

Chassis Clearances

Two chassis in a single rack

0.5-in. (1.27 cm) between chassis for horizontal shelf brackets

Front and rear of chassis

40.4-in. (102.6 cm) for chassis installation36-in. (91.4 cm) for service access and airflow

Inlet and exhaust openings on chassis and power modules

6-in. (15.2 cm)

Top of chassis

No overhead clearance for a single chassis. Two chassis in a rack requires 0.5-inch (1.27 cm) between chassis for mounting rails.

Mounting Rails and Hardware

Rail openings (aperture)

  • 17.75 in. (45.1 cm), side to side
  • 22.8 in. (57.9 cm), front to back (adjustable or fixed)

Horizontal mounting rails

The equipment rack should contain horizontal mounting rails to place the chassis on. The mounting rails, which must be able to hold at least 650 lb (294.8 kg), support the weight of the chassis.

  • A set of brackets is included in the chassis installation kit, which is available as an option (CRS-8-INSTALL-KT=). Install these brackets and place the chassis on them. For details, see the Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis Enhanced Router Unpacking, Moving, and Securing Guide.
Note    In addition to supporting the chassis, the mounting rails are also designed to space adjustable rack rails at 22.8-inches (front to back) for chassis installation.

Mounting holes

EIA standard mounting-hole spacing:

  • 18.25-inches to 18.31-inches (46.36 to 46.51 cm), center-to-center horizontal spacing
  • 0.5 + 0.625 + 0.625-inches (1.27 + 1.59 + 1.59 cm),vertical-hole-spacing pattern; repeats on 1.75-inch (4.45 cm) pitch ETSI racks have mounting rails with EIA standard spacing.

Mounting screws

  • 48 screws for each chassis, 12 screws in each of 4 vertical rails, installed in holes with tick marks
  • Number 10-32 x 5/8 in. long socket head cap screws (sixty screws provided with the chassis)
Note    If you plan to use mounting screws other than the ones shipped with the chassis, you can use 10-32, 10-24, 12-24, or M5 screws. (M6 and 1/4-20 screws do not fit.)

Compliance

Make sure that the rack complies with all appropriate standards for your geographical area—for example, NEBS Seismic Zone 4 (GR-63-CORE, Sections 4.4.1 and 4.4.2).

Additional Rack Considerations

Interface cables

When choosing a rack, consider cabling needs (chassis front). Allow at least 95 lb (43.1 kg) weight for each chassis for cables.
