Because of the router's size and weight, we strongly recommend using a mechanical lift
to install the PTX10008.
CAUTION:
Do not install line cards in the chassis until after you mount the
chassis securely on a rack or cabinet.

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 lbs. (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

If you are installing more than one router in a rack or cabinet, install
the first router at the bottom of the rack.
