ACX500 Routers Quick Start Description
This Quick Start contains information you need to install and configure the ACX500
indoor router quickly. For complete installation instructions, see the ACX500 Universal
Access Router Hardware Guide at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.
WARNING: This Quick Start containsa summary of safetywarnings in “Safety
Warnings” on page 21. For a completelist of warnings for this router, including
translations, see the ACX500 Universal Access Router Hardware Guide at
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.
The ACX Series Universal Access Routers are Ethernet-optimized mobile backhaul routers
that provide both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing. The ACX Series routers
enable a wide range of business and residential applications and services, including
microwave cell site aggregation,mobile backhaul service cell site deployment, and service
provider or operator cell site deployment. The routers have high-density Ethernet
interfaces and high-capacity switching throughput.
ACX500 Routers Quick Start Description
An ACX Series router has a built-in Routing Engine and one Packet Forwarding Engine.
The Packet Forwarding Engine has one “pseudo” Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC 0).
Because there is no switching fabric, the single Packet Forwarding Engine takes care of
packet forwarding.
The compact ACX500 indoor router is one rack unit (U; that is, 1.75 in., or 4.45 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 of the ACX500 indoor router measures 1.75 in.
(4.45 cm) high, 9.4 in. (24 cm) deep, and 17.5 in. (44.5 cm) wide. The outer edges of the
mounting brackets extend the width to 19.2 in. (48.7 cm) (with mounting brackets
attached). The chassis installs in standard 300-mm deep (or larger) enclosed cabinets,
19-in. equipment racks, or telco open-frame racks. The ACX500 indoor router is available
in both AC and DC models.
The ACX500 indoor router contains a total of 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, eight of which
are labeled COMBO. At any point of time, you can use a maximum of six ports.
The ports labeled COMBO (combination ports) consist of four RJ-45 ports and four
Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports. Out of the four RJ-45 ports, three ports support PoE (PoE+
and PoE++).
The two ports that are not part of the COMBO ports are the Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports.
On the ACX500, the six ports that you can use at any point of time can be two Gigabit
Ethernet SFP ports (non-combination) and four ports from the COMBO ports.

ACX500 Universal Access Routers Quick Start—ACX500 Indoor Routers
NOTE: You can mix and match the four RJ-45 and SFP COMBO ports as long
as the port numbers are unique.
For example, from the COMBO ports, you can use the SFP port 0/1/0 along
with the RJ-45 port 0/1/1 PoE+, but not the RJ-45 port 0/1/0 PoE++, because
the port numbers of the SFP and the RJ-45 ports are the same (0/1/0).

Step 1: Prepare the Site for Installation
Prepare your site for installation by observing the following guidelines:
•
You can install the router in a four-post rack or cabinet or in an open-frame rack.
•
The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the chassis's external
dimensions: 1.75 in. (4.4 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). See
Figure 3 on page 7.
•
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 8.6 lb (3.9 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. Allow a minimum of
1 meter per second of airflow over the ACX500 indoor router.
•
Ensure that the cabinet allows the hot exhaust air of the chassis to exit from the cabinet
without recirculating into the router.
•
When deploying the router in environments where the router might operate between
68° F (20° C) and 149° F (65° C), allow a 1 U gap above and below the router.
•
When you are installing the router in a cabinet, ensure that the bottom of the cabinet
is closed.
•
You must install the router 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 ACX500 Indoor Router in a Rack
To install the router in a rack, you need the following tools:
•
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
Install the Mounting Brackets
Two mounting brackets for front or rear mounting ship with the router (see
Figure 4 on page 8 and Figure 5 on page 8).
Attach both mounting brackets to either the front or rear of the chassis:
1. Align the bracket with the two sets of mounting holes of the chassis.
2. Insert the four screws at the top and bottom of the bracket and tighten each screw
partially.
3. Tighten the four screws completely.
4. Repeat the procedure for the other bracket.

Mounting bracket
The ACX500 indoor router can be installed horizontally in a rack or cabinet. The router
can be accessed only from the front of the router. All components—such as ports, LEDs,
power unit, and so on are located in the front of the ACX500 indoor router.
One person must be available to lift the router while another secures the router to the
rack. The chassis weighs approximately 8.6 lb (3.9 kg). To install the chassis (see
Figure 6 on page 9):
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 that 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.

Step 3: Ground the ACX500 Indoor Router
You must ground both the AC-powered and the DC-powered routers before connecting
them to power.

•
Connect the Grounding Cable on page 10
Tools Required to Ground the Router
To ground the router, you need the following tools:
•
Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
•
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding wrist strap
•
Two SAE 10-32 screws 0.25–0.5 in. long, and flat washers (not provided)
•
Grounding lug, Panduit LCD6-14BH-L or equivalent (not provided)
•
Grounding cable, minimum 14 AWG (2 mm2) 90° C wire (not provided)
Connect the Grounding Cable
You ground the router by connecting a grounding cable to earth ground and then attaching
it to the chassis grounding points. To ground the ACX500 indoor router:
1. Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug, which is provided with
the router, to the grounding cable.
2. Attach an electrostaticdischarge (ESD) grounding strap to your 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 you
make grounding connections.
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 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 7 on page 11).
NOTE: The grounding point location on the ACX500 is the same for both
the AC and the DC models.
8. Secure the grounding cable lug with the washers and screws. The holes are sized for
SAE 10-32 screws.
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.
