Step 1: Prepare the Site for ACX5096 Router
Installation
Prepare your site for installing the ACX5096 router by observing the following guidelines:
The ACX5096 router can be installed in a two-post or four-post rack. Use a two-post or four-post rack
that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) increments and that
meets the size and strength requirements to support the weight.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for proper clearance around the router and
rack.
You need two people for installing the router–one for lifting the router and one for securing it. The
chassis weighs approximately 32.5 lb (14.74 kg).
When planning the site for installing an ACX5096 router, you must provide sufficient clearance around
the installed chassis, as shown

Install the router only in restricted areas, such as dedicated equipment rooms and equipment closets, in
accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Install the router only in a rack that is secured to the building structure.
Mount the router at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
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.
