ACX710 Description
This Quick Start Guide contains information that you need to install and configure an ACX710 router quickly. For complete
installation instructions, see the ACX710 Universal Metro Router Hardware Guide at https://www.juniper.net/documentation/.
The ACX710 router provides an aggregation solution that is cost-effective and compact, and that supports emerging
deployments such as segment routing and Ethernet VPN (EVPN). The ACX710 includes support for numerous features
such as modern network management using NETCONF and YANG, and precise synchronization that helps address the
increasing demands of high-speed networks.
The ACX710 router is a 1-U compact and fixed-configuration model with high-density 1GbE, 10GbE, and 100GbE ports.
ACX710 routers provide full-duplex throughput of 320 Gbps and 24 Gbit DRAM packet buffer.
We ship these routers with a DC power supply module that has dual power feeds and a fan tray with five high-performance
fans that can effectively cool the chassis.
The port panel of the ACX710 router has the following port configurations:
Twenty-four 10GbE or 1GbE ports (ports 0 through 23) that operate at 10-Gbps speed when you use small form-factor
pluggable plus (SFP+) transceivers or at 1-Gbps speed when you use small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optics. Ports 0

Only trained and qualified personnel must install or replace the router. Perform only the procedures described in this quick start or the ACX710 Universal Metro Router Hardware Guide at https://www.juniper.net/documentation/. Other services should be performed by authorized service personnel only. - Page 17 Manually installing the router requires two people to lift an empty chassis and three people to lift a fully configured router. Before lifting the chassis with only two people, remove the components as described in the ACX710 Universal Metro Router Hardware Guide at https://www.juniper.net/documentation/. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.
