CAUTION: The chassis weighs approximately 145 lb (66 kg) with only the fan tray
controllers installed. Lifting the chassis and mounting it in a rack or cabinet requires at
least three people. Make sure the chassis is empty (contains only the backplane) before
you lift it.
The chassis has two handles that are designed for subtle positioning of the chassis. Do
not lift the chassis by the handles.
CAUTION: Before front-mounting the router in a rack, have a qualified technician verify
that the rack is strong enough to support the router's weight and is adequately supported
at the installation site.
Before you install the router:
1. Prepare the site for installation as described in “PTX10000 Site Preparation Checklist” on page 149.
2. 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.
3. Unpack the router as described in “Unpacking the PTX10008” on page 198.
4. Remove all components except the two fan tray controllers from the chassis. See:
•
Removing a PTX10000 Routing and Control Board on page 250
•
Removing a PTX10000 Switch Interface Board on page 332
•
Removing a PTX10000 Fan Tray on page 258
•
“How to Remove a JNP10K-PWR-AC Power Supply” on page 270 or How to Remove a
JNP10K-PWR-DC Power Supply on page 292
5. Install the mounting hardware at the desired position (see “Installing the Mounting Hardware for a
PTX10000” on page 206).
6. Review chassis lifting guidelines as described in QFX10002 Installation Safety Guidelines.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the router:
•
14 mounting screws appropriate for your rack
•
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 or number 3, depending on the size of your rack-mounting screws
