ACX4000 Quick Start Description

This Quick Start contains information you need to install and configure the router quickly. For complete installation instructions, see the ACX4000 Universal Access Routers Hardware

Guide at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.

WARNING: ThisQuick Startcontains a summary of safetywarnings in “Safety

Warnings” on page 20. For a complete list of warningsfor this router,including

translations, see the ACX4000 Universal Access Routers Hardware Guide at

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.

The ACX Universal Access Router is principally designed for high-density access and pre-aggregation and is environmentally hardened. The router can be used as a cell site router or pre-aggregation device for mobile backhaul and a CPE for business or residential access.

ACX4000 Quick Start Description

The ACX Series routers support TDM, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The chassis has eight built-in Gigabit Ethernet combination copper or fiber interfaces with PoE+ (65 W) support on two ports, two Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports, and two 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports. The router also has two slots for modular interface cards (MICs). For a list of the supported MICs, see the ACX4000 Universal Access Router MIC Guide.

The ACX Series router is a single-board router with a built-in Routing Engine and one Packet Forwarding Engine that has two Flexible PIC Concentrators (shown in the CLI as

FPC 0 and FPC 1). Because there is no switching fabric, the single Packet Forwarding

Engine takes care of packet forwarding:

•

Routing Engine—Provides Layer 3 routing services and network management.

•

Packet Forwarding Engine—Performs Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet switching, route lookups, and packet forwarding.

The ACX Series router is powered by Junos OS, supporting extensive L2 and L3 features, IP/MPLS with traffic engineering, rich network management, fault management, service monitoring and Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) capabilities, and an open software development kit (SDK) system that allows providers to customize and integrate operations with their own management systems. For a list of related Junos OS documentation, see http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos/.

As part of the mobile backhaul, the ACX Series router at the cell site and the MX Series router at the aggregation layer provide comprehensive end-to-end Ethernet, MPLS, and OAM features with the one Junos OS running on both platforms.

The compact routersare 2.5 rack units (U; that is, 4.375in., or 11.11 cm) tall. Several routers can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack for increased port density per unit of floor space.

The chassis is a rigid sheet metal structure that houses all the other router components. The chassis measures 4.375 in. (11.11 cm) high, 9.5 in. (24.13 cm) deep, and 17.5 in. (44.5 cm) wide. The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width to 19 in. (48 cm) (from the front-mounting brackets to the rear of the chassis). The chassis installs in standard 300-mm deep (or larger) enclosed cabinets, 19-in. equipment racks, or telco open-frame racks.

Step 1: Prepare the Site for ACX4000 Router Installation

Prepare your site for ACX4000 installation by observing the following guidelines:

•

You can install the router in a four-post rack or cabinet or an open-frame rack.

•

The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the chassis's external dimensions: 4.375 in. (11.11 cm) high, 9.4 in. (24 cm) deep, and 17.5 in. (44 cm) wide. The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width to 19.2 in. (48.7 cm).

•

One person must be available to lift the router while another secures the router to the rack.

•

The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured router, up to 22.48 lb (10.2 kg).

•

For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, allow at least

2.16 in. (5.5 cm) in front of the router.

•

The rack or cabinet must have an adequate supply of cooling air.

•

Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit from the cabinet without recirculating into the router.

•

When installing the router in a cabinet, ensure that the bottom of the cabinet is closed and there is no opening.

•

The router must be installed into a rack that is secured to the building structure.

•

Mount the router at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

•

When mounting the router in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

•

Install the router only in restricted areas, such as dedicated equipment rooms and equipment closets, in accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17,and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

Tools Required to Install the Router in a Rack

To install the router in a rack, you need the following tools:

•

Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2

•

ESD grounding wrist strap

Install the Mounting Brackets

Two mounting brackets for front mounting ship with the router (see Figure 3 on page 7).

Attach both mounting brackets to the front of the chassis:

Step 2: Install the Router

1. Align the bracket with the three sets of mounting holes.

2. Insert the six screws at the top, middle, and bottom of the bracket and tighten each

partially.

3. Tighten the four screws completely.

4. Repeat the procedure for the other bracket.

Install the ACX4000 Router in the Rack

The router can be installed horizontally in a rack or cabinet.

Two people are required to install the ACX4000 router. The chassis weighs approximately

22.48 lb (10.2 kg). To install the chassis (see Figure 4 on page 8):

1. Ensure that the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure

that the installation site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and maintenance.

2. Position the router in front of the rack or cabinet.

3. Have one person grasp both sides of the router, lift the router, and position it in the

rack, aligning the mounting bracket holes with the threaded holes in the rack rails. Make sure the chassis is level.

4. Have the second person install a mounting screw into each of the open mounting

holes aligned with the rack, starting from the bottom.

5. Visually inspect the alignment of the router. If the router is installed properly in the

rack, all the mounting screws on one side of the rack should be aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side, and the router should be level.
