Preparing The Equipment Racks; Installing The Router - Juniper E Series Hardware Manual

ERX 7.0.x Hardware Guide

Preparing the Equipment Racks

Following your installation plan, use a tape measure and marking pen to measure
and mark space on each equipment rack for each E-series router component.
Horizontal spacing should follow NEBS requirements. If you choose not to install
a plenum, be sure to include 2 U of space between each chassis to allow for
proper exhaust. A plenum, however, is highly recommended.

lift the system into position and one to screw it to the rack.
