Step 4: Install The Ptx5000 - Juniper PTX5000 Quick Start Manual

Step 4: Install the PTX5000

CAUTION:
Ensure that a mechanical lift is available for the installation. Because of the PTX5000
router's size and weight—up to 1200 lb (544.3 kg) depending on configuration—you
must use a lift to install the chassis.
Have a qualified technician verify that the rack is strong enough to support the chassis
weight and is adequately supported at the installation site.
Ensure that the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building.
Ensure that the installation site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and
maintenance.
To install the PTX5000 by using a lift (see
Figure 7 on page 17):
1. Load the PTX5000 onto the lift, making sure that the chassis rests securely on the mechanical lift.
CAUTION:
Use these handles only to help position the PTX5000.
2. Using the lift, position the PTX5000 in front of the rack, centering it in front of the mounting shelf.
3. Lift the chassis slightly above the surface of the mounting shelf, and position it as close as possible to
the shelf.
4. Carefully slide the PTX5000 onto the mounting shelf, so that the bottom of the chassis and the mounting
shelf overlap by approximately 2 inches.
5. With four people pushing on the front-mounting flanges, slide the PTX5000 onto the mounting shelf
until the center-mounting brackets (open-frame racks) or front-mounting flanges (four-post racks)
contact the rack rails. The shelves ensure that the holes in the center-mounting brackets and the
front-mounting flanges of the chassis align with the holes in the rack rails.
Before installing the PTX5000:
