Overview of Preparing the Site for the PTX5000 Packet Transport Switch
To prepare a site for packet transport switch installation:
1. Verify that environmental factors such as temperature and humidity do not exceed
packet transport switch tolerances.
See “PTX5000 Packet Transport Switch Environmental Specifications” on page 257.
2. Verify that the site and installation plan meets all safety guidelines and requirements.
See “General Safety Guidelines for Juniper Networks Devices” on page 219.
3. Locate sites for connection of system grounding.
See “PTX5000 Chassis Grounding Cable and Lug Specifications” on page 259.
4. Calculate the power consumption and requirements.
Measure distance between external power sources and the packet transport switch
installation site.
