Unpack and Mount an ACX7100-48L Router
Unpack an ACX7100-48L Router
The ACX7100-48L router chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the hardware components. An ACX7100-48L router is shipped in a cardboard carton, secured with foam packing material. The carton also contains an accessory box and quick start instructions.
ACX7100-48L routers are maximally protected inside the shipping carton. Do not unpack the router until you are ready to begin installation.
To unpack an ACX7100-48L router:
- Move the shipping carton to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible, where you have enough room to remove the system components.
- Position the carton so that the arrows are pointing up.
- Open the top flaps on the shipping carton.
- Remove the accessory box, and verify the contents against the inventory included in the box.
- Pull out the packing material that is holding the router in place.
- Verify the chassis components that you received.
- Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the router later.

We no longer include the RJ-45 console cable with the DB-9 adapter as part of the device package. If the console cable and adapter are not included in your device package, or if you need a different type of adapter, you can order the following separately:
RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-DB9)
RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-DB9)
RJ-45 to USB-C adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBC)
If you want to use RJ-45 to USB-A or RJ-45 to USB-C adapter you must have X64 (64-Bit) Virtual COM port (VCP) driver installed on your PC. See, https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ to download the driver.
Mount an ACX7100-48L Router in a Rack
You can mount an ACX7100-48L router on a rack by using the mounting kit provided with the device.
Before You Begin Rack Installation
Before you begin mounting an ACX7100-48L router in the rack:
If you are mounting multiple units on a rack, mount the heaviest unit at the bottom of the rack and mount the other units from the bottom of the rack to the top in decreasing order of the weight of the units.
Install an ACX7100-48L Router in a Rack
To install the router in a four-post rack:
- Align the holes in the front-mounting rails with the holes
on the side of the chassis (see Figure 1).Figure 1: Install the Mounting Rails on an ACX7100-48L Router
- Carefully slide the chassis with the rails attached on
to the rack rails (see Figure 2).Figure 2: Install the ACX7100-48L Router in a Four-Post Rack
- Install mounting screws into each of the front-mounting
bracket holes aligned with the rack, starting from the bottom, and
tighten the screws. Figure 3 shows the router fully secured to the front rails of the
four-post rack.Figure 3: ACX7100-48L Router Secured by Front-Mounting Brackets
- On the rear of the chassis, slide the rear-mounting blades
on either side of the chassis until the rear-mounting brackets at
the end of the blades contact the rack rails (see Figure 4).
The rear-mounting blades on each side of the chassis are movable. You can adjust the length of the blades according to the depth of the rack.
Figure 4: Install the Rear-Mounting Blades on an ACX7100-48L Router
- Visually inspect the alignment of the chassis.
If you’ve installed the chassis properly in the rack, all the mounting screws on one side of the rack are aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side, and the router is level. Figure 5 shows the router fully secured and installed in a four-post rack.
