The mounting brackets extend the width to fit into standard 19-in. (48.3 cm) racks. The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the external dimensions of the PTX3000 chassis. The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured packet transport router, up to about 200 lb (90.7 kg).
Tools Required to Unpack and Prepare the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router for Installation Tools Required to Unpack and Prepare the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router for Installation The following tools and parts are required to unpack and prepare the PTX3000 router for installation: A mechanical lift—recommended...

Step 4: Install the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router Step 4: Install the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router Because of the size and weight of the device, we recommend that you install the packet transport router by using a mechanical lift. Install the Packet Transport Router By Using a Lift on page 7...
Page 8
PTX3000 Packet Transport Router Quick Start should be aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side, and the packet transport router should be level. Move the lift away from the rack. If you are installing two to four routers in the rack, repeat this procedure for each router.
Lower chassis 2 Step 5: Connect the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router Grounding Cable You ground the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router by attaching a grounding cable to the chassis. You must provide the grounding cable. A 4-AWG cable lug is supplied with the packet transport router for grounding the router.

Step 5: Connect the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router Grounding Cable Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground. Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug provided with the packet transport router to the grounding cable. Ensure that grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright finish before you connect the grounding cable.
PTX3000 Packet Transport Router Quick Start Step 6: Connect External Devices and PIC Cables to the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router To connect external devices and PIC cables, perform the following procedures: Connect the PTX3000 to a Console or Auxiliary Device on page 14...
Figure 8: Connecting to the Console or Auxiliary Port on the Control Board Connect the PTX3000 to a Network for Out-of-Band Management To connect the Routing Engines in a PTX3000 Packet Transport Router to a network for management of the packet transport router, connect a UTP Category 5 Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector to the port on a Control Board.
Figure 10: Connecting to the Host/Ethernet Port on the Control Board Connect PIC Cables to the PTX3000 The PTX3000 Packet Transport Router supports PICs that use various kinds of network cable, including multimode and single-mode fiber-optic cable. For information about the type of cable used by each PIC, see the PTX Series Interface Module Reference.
Page 17
Connect PIC Cables to the PTX3000 If the PIC cable connector port is covered by a rubber safety plug, remove the plug. WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cable. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
