Juniper ACX5096 Quick Start Manual page 5

To mount the router in a 19-inch rack:
1. Attach the ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and to a site ESD point.
NOTE: If you are mounting multiple units in the rack, mount the heaviest unit at the bottom
and mount the others from bottom to top in order of decreasing weight. The router weighs
approximately 32.5 lb (14.74 kg). Installing the ACX5096 router in a rack or cabinet requires
two people to lift the router and secure it to the rack.
2. Place the rack in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance, and
secure it to the building structure.
3. Determine whether the end with field-replaceable units (FRUs) or the ports are to be placed at the
front of the rack.
4. Align a front mounting-rail (either flush with the front of the chassis or 2-in. recessed from the front)
along the side panel of the router chassis. See
Figure 3: Attaching Mounting Rails to the ACX5096 Router
5. Attach the mounting rail to the router by using six mounting screws. Use cage nuts and washers if your
rack requires them.
6. Repeat Step 4 and Step 5 on the opposite side of the router.
