Before you install the router:
•
Prepare the site for installation as described in “PTX10000 Site Preparation Checklist” on page 149.
•
Ensure the site has adequate clearance for both airflow and hardware maintenance as described in
“PTX10000 Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance” on page 156.
•
Unpack the router as described in “Unpacking the PTX10008” on page 198.
•
In a four-post rack, install the mounting hardware at the desired position (see “Installing the Mounting
Hardware for a PTX10000” on page 206).
•
Review chassis lifting guidelines described in “PTX10008 Chassis Lifting Guidelines” on page 403.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the router:
•
A mechanical lift rated for 350 lb (158.8 kg)
•
14 mounting screws appropriate for your rack
•
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 or number 3, depending on the size of your rack-mounting screws
CAUTION: If you are installing more than one router in a rack or cabinet, install the first
router at the bottom of the rack.
To install the router using a mechanical lift (see Figure 81 on page 211):
1. Ensure that the rack or cabinet is placed in its permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure
that the installation site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and maintenance. For details, see
“PTX10000 Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance” on page 156.
2. Load the router onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform.
