Manually Mounting a PTX10008 in a 4-Post Rack | 212
You can install a PTX10008 router into a rack by using a mechanical lift, or you can install it manually. The
following sections describe both the procedures.
Mounting a PTX10008 in a 4-Post Rack Using a Mechanical Lift
Because of the router's size and weight, we strongly recommend using a mechanical lift to install the
PTX10008.
NOTE: For instructions on installing a router without using a mechanical lift, see “Manually Mounting
a PTX10008 in a 4-Post Rack” on page 212.
CAUTION: Do not install line cards in the chassis until after you mount the chassis
securely on a rack or cabinet.
CAUTION: Before front-mounting the router on a rack or cabinet, have a qualified
technician verify that the rack or cabinet is strong enough to support the router's weight
and is adequately supported at the installation site.
