Fast Track to Rack Installation and Power

SUMMARY This procedure guides you through the simplest steps for the most common installation to mount your PTX10004 router in a rack and connect it to power.

Install the PTX10004 in a Rack

You can mount a PTX10004 router in a four-post closed frame rack or a four-post open frame rack by using the rack mount kit shipped with the router by default. We’ll walk you through the steps to install a premium redundant configuration PTX10004 router and connect it to power.

The router chassis weighs approximately 123 lb (56 kg) with only the fan tray controllers installed.

You can mount the router manually or by using a mechanical lift. Because of the router's size and weight, we strongly recommend that you use a mechanical lift to mount the router.

Ensure that you have a mechanical lift rated for 250 lb (113.4 kg).

You must install the router in a restricted-access location and ensure that the chassis is always grounded properly.

Before you install, review the following:

Mount the Router

To mount the router:

  1. Place the router on a flat, stable surface.

  2. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end to a site ESD point.

  3. Attach the mounting blades to the front rack posts by using eight rack mount screws appropriate for your rack and a screwdriver.

  4. From the rear of the rack, slide the mounting tray into the rear posts of the rack such that the mounting blades slide into the grooves on the mounting tray. Attach the tray to the rear rack posts by using six rack mount screws appropriate for your rack and a screwdriver.

  5. Check that the mounting tray is level.

  6. Attach the mounting blades to the tray with the 12 Phillips 8-32 x .375 in. flat-head screws.

  7. Load the router onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform.

  8. By using the lift, align the router in front of the rack, centering it in front of the mounting tray.

  9. Lift the chassis approximately 0.75 in. (1.9 cm) above the surface of the mounting tray. Align the chassis as close as possible to the mounting tray.

  10. Carefully slide the chassis onto the mounting tray until the chassis flanges contact the rack rails. The mounting blades ensure that the holes in the chassis flanges line up with the holes in the rack rails.

  11. Attach the chassis to the rack by installing 14 rack mount screws through each open flange hole and rack hole.

  12. Move the lift away from the rack.

  13. Check the alignment of the router. The rack mount screws on each side of the rack should line up, and the router should be level. Tighten the screws.

  14. Insert the safety restraint between the rear posts of the rack. It should rest on the top of the chassis and align with the holes in the rack.

  15. Attach the restraint to the rack by installing six rack mount screws through each open flange hole and rack hole. Tighten the screws.

Connect to Power

To connect the router to AC power:

Install the Power Supplies

To install the power supplies:

  1. If the power supply slot has a cover on it, insert your thumb and forefinger into the finger holes, squeeze, and pull the cover out of the slot. Save the cover for later use.

  2. Taking care not to touch power supply connections, remove the power supply from its bag.

  3. Peel back and remove the protective plastic wrap that covers all four sides of the power supply.

  4. Ensure that the power switch is set to the standby (O) position. This switch turns off the output voltage; it does not interrupt input power.

  5. Unscrew the captive screw in the counterclockwise direction by using your fingers or by using the Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1.

  6. Rotate the captive screw away from the faceplate of the power supply to release the latch.

    Note:

    You can install the power supplies in any slot labeled PSU 0 through PSU 2 (top to bottom) on a PTX10004.

  7. Using both hands, place the power supply in the power supply slot on the rear of the system. Slide the power supply straight into the chassis until the power supply is fully seated in the slot. Ensure that the power supply faceplate is flush with any adjacent power supply faceplates or power supply covers.

  8. Push the captive screw into the power supply faceplate. Ensure that the screw is seated inside the corresponding hole on the faceplate.

  9. Tighten the captive screw by turning it clockwise by using your fingers or by using the Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1. Do not overtighten—do not apply more than 7.3 lb-in (0.82 Nm) of torque to the screws. When the screw is completely tight, the latch locks into the router chassis.

Ground the Router

To ground the router:

  1. Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the protective earthing terminal lug (provided in the accessory kit) to the grounding cable.

  2. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the router is installed.

  3. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to an ESD point on the chassis. There is an ESD point located next to the protective earthing terminal and below PSU 2 on the rear of the PTX10004.

  4. Remove the two screws on the earthing terminal adjacent to the ESD point by using a Pozidriv or Phillips screwdriver. Save the screws.

  5. Place the chassis grounding lug and cable over the screw holes, with the cable connection pointing to the left.

  6. Place the two screws with attached washers over the grounding lug and grounding cable.

  7. Tighten the two screws by using a Pozidriv or Phillips screwdriver.

  8. Dress the grounding cable and ensure that it does not touch or block access to other device components and that it does not drape where people can trip over it.

Connect the Power Cable and Power On the Router

To connect the power cable and power on the router:

  1. Attach each power cable to a dedicated power source (A and B). The JNP10K-PWR-AC2 requires that each power supply be connected to a separate source.

  2. For each power cable, insert the end of the cable with the Anderson connector into the JNP10K-PWR-AC2 power supply. The connector snaps and locks the cable into position.

    Warning:

    Ensure that the power cords do not block access to router components or drape where people can trip on them.

  3. If the power source outlets have a power switch, set them to the on (|) position.

  4. Set the three DIP switches to set the inputs and whether the power supply is running at 3000 W, 5000 W, or 5500 W. See Table 1.

    Set both enable switches to the on position when you are using both the power source inputs. When you are not using source redundancy, set the unused source to the off (O) position. The LED turns red and indicates an error if a source input is not in use and the enable switch is on (|).

Install the Front Door

You must install the front door to protect fiber-optic cabling and to provide additional protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Install the Front Door

To install the front door on the router:

  1. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to an ESD point on the front of the chassis.
