Mount the 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. If you
do not have a mechanical lift available, see the alternative instructions for manual mounting in the PTX10008 Packet
Routing Hardware Guide.
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.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the router:
•
A mechanical lift rated for 500 lb (226.8 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 7):
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 .
2. Load the router onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform.
