Unpacking and Mounting the PTX10002-60C
Unpacking the PTX10002-60C
The PTX10002-60C chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the hardware components. The PTX10002-60C is shipped in a cardboard carton, secured with foam packing material. The carton also contains an accessory kit and quick start instructions.
PTX10002-60C routers are maximally protected inside the shipping carton. Do not unpack the PTX10002-60C until you are ready to begin installation.

Mounting the PTX10002-60C in a Rack
Mount a PTX10002-60C in a 19-in four-post rack by using the included mounting brackets. The shipping carton contains two front mounting rails with two matching rear mounting blades. This configuration allows either end of the PTX10002-60C to be mounted flush with the rack and still be adjustable for racks with different depths. The minimum distance the front and rear rack rails can be spaced apart is 28 in. (71.1 cm) front to back. The maximum distance the front and rear rack rails can be spaced apart is 36 in. (91.4 cm) front to back.
Before You Begin Mounting the PTX10002-60C
PTX10002-60C routers require at least three people for installation, two people to lift the PTX10002-60C into place and another person to attach the device to the rack. You can remove the power supplies and fan modules to minimize the weight before attempting to install the PTX10002-60C. For overhead installation—for example, if you are installing the PTX10002-60C above 60 in. (152.4 cm) from the floor—we recommend that you use a mechanical lift.
Before you begin mounting a PTX10002-60C in the rack:
You’ll need to provide the following items to mount the PTX10002-60C in a rack:
Management host, such as a PC laptop, with a serial port
(Optional) Grounding cable kit with bracket, lug, and three nuts with integrated washers
Sixteen (16) screws to secure the chassis and mounting blades to the rack)
Screwdriver appropriate for the rack-mounting screws
ESD grounding strap
Mounting the PTX10002-60C
PTX10002-60C routers must be supported at all four corners. Mounting the chassis by using only the front brackets will damage the chassis and can result in serious bodily injury.
If you are mounting multiple devices in a rack, mount the device in the lowest position of the rack first. Proceed to mount the rest of the devices from the bottom to the top of the rack to minimize the risk of the rack toppling.
To mount the PTX10002-60C on four posts in a rack by using the provided mounting kit:
