Locating the Serial Number on an ACX5000 Router or Component
If you are returning a router or component to Juniper Networks for repair or replacement, you must locate the serial number of the router or component. You must provide the serial number to the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) when you contact them to obtain a Return Materials Authorization (RMA). See Contact Customer Support.
If the router is operational and you can access the command-line interface (CLI), you can list serial numbers for the router and for some components with a CLI command. If you do not have access to the CLI or if the serial number for the component does not appear in the command output, you can locate the serial number ID label on the router or component.
If you want to find the serial number ID label on a component, you need to remove the component from the router chassis, for which you must have the required parts and tools available.

You must remove the fan module to read the fan serial number from the serial number ID label. The fan module serial number cannot be viewed through the CLI. Fan Tray 2 refers to the third module from the left, counting from 0.
Locating the Chassis Serial Number ID Label on an ACX5000 Router
The location for the chassis serial number ID label is product SKU-dependent. On the ACX5000 router product SKUs, the serial number ID label is located on the left side of the port panel. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 for examples of where to find the serial number ID.
Locating the Serial Number ID Labels on FRU Components
The power supplies, fan module, and expansion modules installed in ACX5000 routers are field-replaceable units (FRUs). For each FRU, you must remove the FRU from the router chassis to see the FRU serial number ID label.
AC power supply—The serial number ID label is on the top of the AC power supply.
Fan module—The serial number ID label is on the top of the fan module.
Expansion module–The serial number ID label is in the middle of the printed circuit board (PCB).
