• 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
on page 219):
1. Load the PTX5000 onto the lift, making sure that the chassis rests securely on the mechanical lift.
CAUTION: Do not lift the PTX5000 by using the handles on the sides of the chassis.
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.
6. Visually inspect the alignment of the PTX5000. If the chassis is installed properly in the rack, all the
mounting screws on one side of the rack should be aligned with the mounting screws on the
opposite side, and the chassis should be level.
7. Install a mounting screw into each of the mounting holes aligned with the rack, starting from the
bottom.
