Installing a Services Router

Warning: A DC-powered J2300 Services Router is intended for installation in a dedicated equipment room where it is accessible by trained personnel only. Other DC-powered Services Routers are intended for installation in a restricted access location.

Installing J2300 Services Routers

To install a J2300 Services Router on a desk, attach the rubber feet to the underside of the chassis.

To install a J2300 Services Router on a wall, attach the rubber feet to the chassis underside, attach a mounting bracket to each side of the chassis, and attach the brackets to the wall. (For instructions, see the J2300, J4300, and J6300 Services Router Getting Started Guide.)

To install a J2300 router in a rack:

1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to an outside ESD point.
2. Make sure the rack is properly secured to the building in its permanent location.
3. Attach a mounting bracket to each side of the router chassis.
4. Have one person grasp each side of the router, lift the router, and position it in the rack.
5. Have a second person install a mounting screw into each of the bracket holes that are aligned with the threaded holes in the rack.

Installing J2320 and J2350 Services Routers

To install the J2320 and J2350 router into a rack:

1. Have one person grasp the sides of the router, lift the router, and position it in the rack.
2. Align the top hole in each mounting bracket with a hole in each rack rail as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, making sure the chassis is level.

3. Have a second person install a mounting screw into each of the two aligned holes. With a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screws.
4. Verify that the mounting screw on one side of the rack is aligned with the mounting screw on the opposite side and that the router is level.
5. Install the second screw in each mounting bracket.

Installing J4350 or J6350 Services Routers

To install a J4350 or J6350 Services Router in a rack:

1. Make sure the rack is properly secured to the building in its permanent location.
2. Attach a screw to each rack rail in the third hole down from where you want the top of the router to be positioned, as shown in Figure 5. Screw only part way in, leaving about 1/4 in. (6 mm) distance between the screw head and the rail.
3. Lift the router and insert the elliptical openings in the mounting brackets onto the partially inserted screws so that the router is hanging from the two screws.

4. Install at least two mounting screws into each mounting bracket, in addition to the center screws from which the router hangs.
