Fast Track to Rack Installation and Power
This procedure guides you through the steps to install the ACX7024 or ACX7024X router in a rack and connect it to power.
Install an ACX7024 or ACX7024X Router in a Rack
You can install an ACX7024 or ACX7024X router into a two-post rack or a cabinet. We’ll walk you through the steps to install an AC-powered ACX7024 router in a two-post rack.
Before you install, review the following:
- Lift the router and position it in the rack. Line up the bottom hole in
each mounting bracket with a hole in each rack rail, making sure the router
is level.
- Check to see that the mounting screws on each side of the rack are aligned
and the router is level.
Connect to Power
To connect the ACX7024 or ACX7024X router to AC power, you must do the following:
Ground the ACX7024 or ACX7024X Router
To ground the ACX7024 and ACX7024X routers:
Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug that is provided with the router to the grounding cable.
Ensure that all grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright finish before you make grounding connections.
Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
Place the grounding cable lug over the grounding points on the side of the chassis.
Figure 1: Connect the Grounding Cable to the ACX7024 or ACX7024X Router
Secure the grounding cable lug with the screws. Apply 2.5 N-m of torque to the screws.
Dress the grounding cable and verify that it does not touch or block access to router components, and that it does not drape where people could trip over it.
Connect the Power Cord and Power On the Router
For information about the supported AC power cord specifications, see AC Power Cord Specifications for ACX7024 and ACX7024X Routers.
To connect an AC power cord to an ACX7024 or ACX7024X router:
Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.
Power off the AC input appliance inlet on the source power supply.
Connect the power cord to the power source outlet.
Note:Each power supply module (PSM) must be connected to a dedicated AC power feed and a dedicated customer-site 2-pole circuit breaker. We recommend that you use a dedicated customer-site circuit breaker rated for 16A, or as required by local code.
Press the small tab on the power cord retainer strip to loosen the loop. Slide the loop until you have enough space to insert the power cord coupler into the inlet.
Insert the power cord coupler firmly into the inlet.
Slide the loop toward the PSM until it is snug against the base of the coupler.
Press the tab on the loop and draw out the loop into a tight circle.
Route the power cord appropriately. Verify that the power cord does not block the air exhaust and access to router components, or drape where people could trip over it.
Power on the source power supply.
Repeat Step 2 through Step 9 for installing the remaining PSM.
