Unpack and Mount an ACX7024 or ACX7024X Router

Unpack an ACX7024 or ACX7024X Router

The ACX7024 and ACX7024X router chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the hardware components. We ship the ACX7024 and ACX7024X 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 ACX7024 and ACX7024X routers. Do not unpack the router until you are ready to begin installation.

To unpack an ACX7024 or ACX7024X 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.

Mount an ACX7024 or ACX7024X in a Rack

Install an ACX7024 or ACX7024X Router in a Rack

To install the router in a two-post rack:

  1. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to a site ESD point.
  2. Position the router in front of the rack.
    The mounting brackets are preinstalled on the ACX7024 and ACX7024X routers.
  3. Lift the router and position it in the rack. Line up the bottom hole in each mounting bracket with a hole in each rack rail, making sure the router is level.
  4. Secure the chassis to the rack using the rack mount screws (not provided). Tighten the screws at the bottom first, then tighten the screws at the top.
  5. Check to see that the mounting screws on each side of the rack are aligned and the router is level.
