Proper Rack Installation
Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
A fully loaded rack with three ERX14xx models must structurally support 300 pounds
(136 kilograms).
Optional mounting kits are available for 19-inch and 23-inch rack mounting (mid-chassis
and front-chassis mounting). Contact your Juniper Networks sales representative for
more information.
If you use an enclosed rack for an ERX14xx model, ensure that there is a minimum of 3
inches of clearance between the inner side wall and the router. This clearance space
ensures adequate air flow.
To confirm proper equipment rack installation, verify the following:
Racks are installed and electrically grounded according to manufacturer instructions.
Equipment racks are anchored to the floor and, when possible, anchored to the ceiling
as well.
Equipment rack installations comply with applicable local, state, and national codes.
CAUTION: To maintain airflow requirements, a plenum must be installed
above ERX14xx models before any other piece of equipment is installed above
the router.
