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 MICGuide.
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.
Figure 1 on page 4 shows the front panel of the ACX4000 router.
Step 1: Prepare the Site for ACX4000 Router Installation
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.
You ground the router by connecting a grounding cableto earth ground and then attaching
it to the chassis grounding points. To ground the router:
1. Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug provided with the router
to the grounding cable.
2. Attachan electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap toyour bare wrist, and connect
the strap to an approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
3. Ensure that all grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright finish before
grounding connections are made.
4. Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
5. Detach the ESD grounding strap from the site ESD grounding point.
6. Attach an electrostaticdischarge(ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect
the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
7. Place the grounding cable lug over the grounding points on the front of the chassis
(see Figure 5 on page 10).
8. Secure the grounding cable lug with the washers and screws. The holes are sized for
SAE 10-32 screws. Apply 4.34 lb-in (0.49 Nm) of torque to each screw. Do not
overtighten the screw. (Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.)
CAUTION: Ensure that each grounding cable lug seats flush against the
surface of the grounding points as you are tightening the screws. Ensure
that each screw is properly threaded into the grounding points. Applying
installation torque to the screw when improperly threaded may result in
damage to the terminal.
9. Dress the grounding cable, and verify that it does not touch or block access to router
components, and that it does not drape where people could trip on it.
Figure 5: Grounding Points on the ACX4000 Router
CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the grounding screws on the
router is 4.34 lb-in (0.49 Nm). The grounding screws may be damaged if
excessive torque is applied. Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten
screws.Use an appropriately sized driver, with a maximum torque capacity
of 5 lb-in. or less. Ensure that the driver is undamaged and properly
calibrated and that you have been trained in its use. You may wish to use
a driver that is designed to prevent overtorque when the preset torque
level is achieved.
Depending on your configuration, your router uses either AC or DC power supplies. Perform
the appropriate procedures for each power supply in your router.
WARNING: You must ground the router before connecting the power cables.
•
Connect AC Power to an AC-Powered ACX4000 Router on page 13
•
Connect DC Power to a DC-Powered ACX4000 Router on page 14
Connect AC Power to an AC-Powered ACX4000 Router
To connect power to the AC-powered router, you need the following tools:
•
AC power cords with C15 plugs
1. Locate power cords that have a plug appropriate for your geographical location. For
more information, see the ACX4000 Universal Access Routers Hardware Guide.
Step 5: Connect Power to the ACX Series Router
2. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
3. Insert the appliance coupler end of the power cord into the appliance inlet on the
power supply.
4. Insert the power cord plug into an external AC power source receptacle.
NOTE: Each power supply must be connected to a dedicated AC power
feed and a dedicated customer site circuit breaker. We recommend that
you use a dedicated customer site circuit breaker rated for 4 A (100 VAC),
or as required by local code.
5. Dress the power cord appropriately. Verify that the power cord does not block the air
exhaust and access to router components, or drape where people could trip on it.
6. Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for the remaining power supply.
7. Observe the status LED on the power supply faceplate. If an AC power supply is
correctly installed and is functioning normally, the status LED lights green steadily.
If the status LED is not lit or red, the power supply is not functioning normally. Repeat
the cabling procedures.
1. Attachan electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap toyour bare wrist, and connect
the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. For more information about ESD,
see the ACX4000 Universal Access Routers Hardware Guide.
2. Switchoff the dedicated customersite circuitbreakers. Ensure that the voltageacross
the DC power source cable leads is 0 V and that there is no chance that the cable
leads might become active during installation.
3. Remove the plastic cover protecting the terminal on the faceplate.
4. Verify that the DC power cables are correctly labeled before making connections to
the powersupply. In a typical power distribution scheme where the return is connected
to chassis ground at the battery plant, you can use a multimeter toverify the resistance
of the –48V and return DC cables to chassis ground:
For –48V and –60V:
a. The cable with very large resistance (indicating an open circuit) to chassis ground
is the DC input cable (–).
b. The cable with very low resistance (indicating a closed circuit) to chassis ground
is the return cable (+).
For +24V:
a. The cable with very low resistance (indicating a closed circuit) to chassis ground
is the DC input cable (–).
b. The cable with very large resistance (indicating an open circuit) to chassis ground
is the return cable (+).
5. Remove the screws and flat washers from the terminals.
6. Secure each power cable lug to the terminal with the flat washers and screw (see
Figure 8 on page 16). Apply between 8 lb-in. (0.9 Nm) and 9 lb-in. (1.02 Nm) of torque
to each screw. Do not overtighten the screw. (Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.)
a. Secure the positive DC source power cable lug to the return (+) terminal.
b. Secure the negative DC source power cable lug to the input (–) terminal.
CAUTION: Ensure that eachpower cable lug seatsflush against the surface
of the terminal block as you are tightening the screws. Ensure that each
screw is properly threaded into the terminal. Applying installation torque
to the screw when the screw is improperly threaded may result in damage
to the terminal.
CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the terminal screws on the DC
power supply is 9 lb-in. (1.02 Nm). The terminal screws may be damaged
if excessive torque is applied. Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten
screws on the DC power supply terminals. Use an appropriately sized
driver, with a maximum torque capacity of 9 lb-in. or less. Ensure that the

8. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD)grounding strapto your bare wrist, and connect
the strap to an approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
9. Connect each DC power cable to the appropriate external DC power source.
10. Switch on the external circuit breakers to provide voltage to the DC power source
cable leads. Observe the status LED on the power supply faceplate. If a DC power
supply is correctly installed and is functioning normally, the status LED lights green
steadily. If the status LED indicates that the power supply is not functioning normally,
repeat the cabling procedures.
