Juniper ACX5048 - Step 1: Prepare the Site for ACX5048 Router Installation; Step 2: Install the Router

Step 1: Prepare the Site for ACX5048 Router Installation
Prepare your site for installing the ACX5048 router by observing the following guidelines:
•
The ACX5048 router can be installed only in a four-post rack. Use a four-post rack
that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm)
increments and that meets the size and strength requirements to support the weight.
•
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for proper clearance around
the router and rack.
•
You need two people for installing the router—one for lifting the router and one for
securing it. The chassis weighs approximately 21.8 lb (9.8 kg).
•
When planning the site for installing an ACX5048 router, you must provide sufficient
clearance around the installed chassis, as shown Figure 2 on page 3.

Install the router only in restricted areas, such as dedicated equipment rooms and
equipment closets, in accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
•
Install the router only in a rack that is secured to the building structure.
•
Mount the router at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
•
When mounting the router in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to
the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
