Guide
Use the following steps to install a PTX10008.
The PTX10008 is a rigid sheet-metal router-chassis that houses the other hardware
components such as control boards, switch interface boards (SIBs), power supplies, fan
trays, and line cards. The router chassis ships in a cardbox box that has a two-layer
wooden pallet base. The router chassis is bolted to the pallet base. You can install a
PTX10008 router in a standard 19 in. (483 mm) equipment rack by using the supplied
rack-mounting kit and the front-mounting bracket that is attached to the chassis.
Before you install the PTX10008, make sure the site meets all of the power, cooling, and
clearance requirements. See the site preparation guidelines and power requirements in
the
PTX10008 Hardware Guide
Rack-Mounting Requirements on page 2
Clearance Requirements on page 3
Cooling and Airflow Requirements on page 3
The PTX10008 router chassis is designed to be installed in standard 19-in. wide four-post
racks that are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) increments.
You can stack three PTX10008 chassis in a four-post rack if:
The rack is 42 U or greater.
The rack meets the strength requirements to support the weight.
The facility can provide adequate power and cooling.
Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the router chassis'
external dimensions. The outer edges of the front-mounting brackets extend the chassis
width to 19 in. (48.26 cm).
Ensure that the rack is strong enough to support the weight of the router and cabling.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for proper clearance around
the router and rack.
