Installing the Front Panel on a PTX10000
The front panel is required on the PTX10008 and the PTX10016 routers to protect fiber optic cabling and
to provide additional protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI). The front panel can be installed
with or without the optional cable management system.
Ensure you have the following tools and parts before you begin:
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
Front panel (provided with the router chassis)
Right base bracket (provided)
Left base bracket (provided)
2 interchangeable latch brackets (provided)
8 Phillips flat-head mounting screws (provided)
To install the front panel:
1. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on
the chassis.
2. Remove the plastic bag that is taped to the front panel, which holds the brackets and screws.
3. Use the Phillips screwdriver to attach two mounting screws to the left base bracket at the bottom left
side of the chassis frame. The base brackets are larger than the latch brackets.
