Rack-Mounting Requirements
•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 router chassis's
external dimensions: 14.0 in. (35.6 cm) high, 24.5 in. (62.2 cm) deep, and
17.45 in. (44.3 cm) wide. The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width
to 19 in. (48.3 cm).
•The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured router,
up to 163.5 lb (74.2 kg). If you stack five fully configured routers in one rack, it must be
capable of supporting about 818 lb (371.0 kg).
•For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be
adequate space at the front and back of the router. Allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in
front of the router and 24 in. (61 cm) behind 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.
•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.

Step 5: Connect External Devices and Line Card Cables
Figure 8: Connect External Devices and DPC Cables
•Connect to a Network for Out-of-Band Management on page 15
•Connect a Management Console on page 15
•Connect the Line Card Cables on page 15
Connect to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
1. Turn off the power to the management device.
2. Plug one end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the appropriate ETHERNET port on the
Routing Engine.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
Connect a Management Console
1. Turn off the power to the management device.
2. Plug RJ-45 end of the serial cable into the appropriate CONSOLE or AUX port on the
Routing Engine.
3. Plug the female DB-9 end into the device's serial port.
Connect the Line Card Cables
1. Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the DPC, MPC, MIC, or PIC. For cable
specifications, see the MX Series Interface Module Reference.
2. If the cable connector port is covered by a rubber safety plug, remove the plug.
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the
ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable
connected to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
15Copyright © 2015, Juniper Networks, Inc.
Step 5: Connect External Devices and Line Card Cables

CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when
you are inserting or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean
and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.
3. Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the faceplate.
4. Arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent it from dislodging or
developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own weight
as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop in
the cable management system. Placing fasteners on the loop helps to maintain its
shape.
CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend
radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable
and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do
not allow fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at
the fastening point.
