CHAPTER 4
Installing E-Series Routers 4-6
Installing the Router
To complete the installation of the router in a rack, you need:
• A Phillips screwdriver
• Depending on the router, up to eight 10-32 x 3/8 Phillips screws
(provided with the router ) for each router to be installed
Warning: Three people are required to install the E-series router in a rack: two to
lift the system into position and one to screw it to the rack.
Note: All persons handling an E-series router should wear an antistatic device.
To install the router in the rack:
1
Position the router in its designated location in the equipment rack.
Make sure the holes of the mounting brackets align evenly with the
holes of the equipment rack on both sides.
Note: One person should stand on the left side of the router, and another should
stand on the right side when lifting.
2
Starting at the bottom, secure the router in the equipment rack by
using the 10-32 x 3/8 Phillips screws.
3
Connect the necessary cables (see Chapter 6, Cabling E-Series
Routers , for instructions on installing the cables).
Figure 4-2 illustrates a distribution rack with one ERX-310 router, one
ERX-7xx model, and one ERX-14xx model installed.
The Next Step
After you finish installing the router:
• If you need to install any modules, turn to Chapter 5, Installing
Modules .
• If the router was delivered with the modules already installed, turn to
Chapter 6, Cabling E-Series Routers , for instructions on connecting
cables.
