ACX1000 and ACX1100 Universal Access Routers Quick Start

ACX1000 and ACX1100 Routers Quick Start Description
This Quick Start contains information you need to install and configure the router quickly.
For complete installation instructions, see the ACX1000 and ACX1100 Universal Access
Routers Hardware Guide at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.
WARNING: This Quick Start contains a summary of safety warnings in “Safety
Warnings” on page 21. For a complete list of warnings for this router, including
translations, see the ACX1000 and ACX1100 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.
The routers are single-board routers with 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 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 routers are 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 ACX1000 and ACX1100 routers contain twelve Gigabit Ethernet ports, eight of which
are RJ-45 ports. The ports labeled COMBO PORTS provide an additional four RJ-45 ports
or four Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports. You can only use one set of combination ports at a
time.
The ACX1000 router also contains eight T1/E1 ports.
Figure 1 on page 4 shows the front panel of the ACX1000 router. Figure 2 on page 4
and Figure 3 on page 5 show the front panel of the ACX1100 router.

ACX1000 and ACX1100 Routers Quick Start Description

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 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).
•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 7 lb (3.2 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 deploying the router in environments where the router may operate between
131° F (55° C) and 149° F (65° C), allow a 1 rack unit (U) gap above and below the
router.
•When installing the router in a cabinet, ensure that the bottom of the cabinet is closed
and there is no opening.
•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.

•Install the ACX Series Router in the Rack on page 9
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 or rear mounting ship with the router (see
Figure 5 on page 8 and Figure 6 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.
2. Insert the four screws at the top 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 ACX Series Router in the Rack
The router can be installed horizontally in a rack or cabinet.
NOTE: For additional installation options, contact JTAC.
One person must be available to lift the router while another secures the router to the
rack. The chassis weighs approximately 7 lb (3.2 kg). To install the chassis (see
Figure 7 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 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 ACX1000 and ACX1100 Router
You must ground the router before connecting to power.
•Tools Required to Ground the Router on page 10
•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
•ESD grounding wrist strap
•Two SAE 10-32 screws and paint piercing washers (not provided)
•Grounding lug, Panduit LCD06-10A or equivalent (not provided)
•Grounding cable, minimum 6 AWG (13.3 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 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 electrostatic discharge (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 8 on page 11).
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.
