ACX500 Mounting Requirements
Cabinet Requirements for ACX500 Indoor Routers
You can mount the indoor router in a cabinet that contains a 19-in. (48.3 cm) rack.
Cabinet requirements consist of:
Cabinet size
Clearance requirements
Cabinet airflow requirements
Table 1 provides the cabinet requirements and specifications for the router.

Wall Requirements for ACX500 Outdoor Routers
The information provided in this topic is applicable for both the ACX500 outdoor router variants—ACX500 outdoor router and ACX500 outdoor router with PoE.
You can install the ACX500 outdoor router on a wall. When choosing a location, allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between the sides of the chassis (with the router in installed position) and adjacent equipment or walls. Ensure that the wall onto which the router is installed is stable and securely supported. If you are mounting the router in sheetrock (wall board with a gypsum plaster core) or in wall board not backed by wall studs, use hollow wall anchors capable of supporting the combined weight of two fully loaded chassis. Insert the screws into wall studs wherever possible to provide added support for the chassis.
Use the wall-mounting kit from Juniper Networks to mount the router on a wall. The wall-mounting kit is not part of the standard package and needs to be ordered separately.

Pole Requirements for ACX500 Outdoor Routers
The information provided in this topic is applicable for both the ACX500 outdoor router variants—ACX500 outdoor router and ACX500 outdoor router with PoE.
You can install the ACX500 outdoor router on a pole. When choosing a location, allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between the sides of the chassis (with the router in installed position) and adjacent equipment or walls. Ensure that the pole onto which the router is installed is stable and securely supported. Ensure that the pole should be able to carry the load of the fully configured router. The width of the pole must be within the range of 2 in. (5 cm) through 16 in. (40.6 cm) for the pole-mounting brackets to fit properly.

Rack Requirements for ACX500 Indoor Routers
You can mount the indoor router on two-post racks or four-post racks.
Rack requirements consist of:
Rack type
Mounting bracket hole spacing
Rack size and strength
Rack connection to the building structure
Table 2 provides the rack requirements and specifications for the router.
Table 2: Rack Requirements and Specifications for the ACX500 Indoor Router
Rack Requirement | Guidelines |
---|---|
Rack type | Use a two-post rack or a four-post rack. You can mount the router on any 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. A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry Association (http://www.eia.org). The rack must meet the strength requirements to support the weight of the chassis. |
Mounting bracket hole spacing | The holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in., or 4.45 cm) so that the router can be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance. |

One pair of mounting brackets for mounting the router on two posts of a rack is supplied with each router. For mounting the router on four posts of a rack or cabinet, you can order a four-post rack mounting kit separately.
