Install ACX7020 in a Rack

Use the information in this topic to install the ACX7020 router in a rack.

You can install an ACX7020 router into a 19-inch, 21-inch, or 23-inch two-post rack or a cabinet.

Unpack an ACX7020 Router

The ACX7020 router chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the hardware components. We ship the ACX7020 router in a cardboard carton, secured with foam packing material. The carton also contains an accessory box and quick start instructions.

CAUTION:

The shipping carton maximally protects the ACX7020 routers. Do not unpack the router until you are ready to begin installation.

To unpack an ACX7020 router:

  1. Move the shipping carton to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible, where you have enough room to remove the system components.
  2. Position the carton so that the arrows are pointing up.
  3. Open the top flaps on the shipping carton.
  4. Remove the accessory box, and verify the contents against the inventory included in the box.
  5. Pull out the packing material that holds the router in place.
  6. Verify the chassis components that you received.
  7. Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you need to move or ship the router later.
