CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose. CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.
Step 5: Connect Power to the ACX Series Router IN THIS SECTION Connect AC Power to an AC-Powered ACX4000 Router | 16 Connect DC Power to a DC-Powered ACX4000 Router | 17 Depending on your configuration, your router uses either AC or DC power supplies. Perform the appropriate procedures for each power supply in your router.
If the status LED is not lit or red, the power supply is not functioning normally. Repeat the cabling procedures. Figure 7: Connecting an AC Power Cord to an ACX4000 Power Supply Module Connect DC Power to a DC-Powered ACX4000 Router...

Step 6: Perform Initial Software Configuration IN THIS SECTION Enter Configuration Mode | 21 Configure User Accounts and Passwords | 22 Configure System Attributes | 22 Commit the Configuration | 23 This procedure connects the router to the network but does not enable it to forward traffic. For complete information about configuring the router to forward traffic, including examples, see the Junos OS configuration guides.
Configure User Accounts and Passwords For information about using an encrypted password or an SSH public key string (DSA or RSA), see the Junos OS Administration Library. 1. Add a password to the root administration user account. Enter a clear-text password. [edit] root# set system root-authentication plain-text-password New password: password...
3. Configure the IP address and prefix length for the router’s Ethernet interface. [edit] root@# set interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet address address/prefix-length 4. Configure the IP address of a backup router, which is used only while the routing protocol is not running. [edit] root@# set system backup-router address 5.

Commit the configuration to activate it on the router. [edit] root@# commit 3. (Optional) Configure additional properties by adding the necessary configuration statements. Then commit the changes to activate them on the router.
See installation instructions before connecting the router. This is a summary of safety warnings. For a complete list of warnings for this router, including translations, see the ACX4000 Universal Access Routers Hardware Guide https://www.juniper.net/documentation/. WARNING: The intrabuilding port(s) of the router is suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only.
When mounting the router in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack. If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the router in the rack.
The battery return connection is to be treated as an isolated DC return (that is, DC-I), as defined in GR-1089-CORE. You must provision a readily accessible device outside of the equipment to disconnect power. The device must also be rated based on local electrical code practice.
