IN THIS SECTION
Rack-Mounting Requirements | 3
Tools Required to Unpack and Install the PTX3000 | 6
Before installing the PTX3000, make sure that the site meets all the power, environmental, and clearance
requirements. See the site preparation guidelines in the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router Hardware Guide.
Rack-Mounting Requirements
You can install the PTX3000 in many types of racks, including 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: 38.5 in.
(97.8 cm) high, 8.7 in. (22.1 cm) deep, and 17.6 in. (44.7 cm) wide. The cable management system on the
3

front of the chassis adds 1.9 in. (4.8 cm) to the depth, for a total depth of 10.6 in. (26.9 cm). 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 PTX3000, up to about
310 lb (140.6 kg).
You must allow sufficient clearance around the rack:
•For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted.
•For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be adequate space at the
front of the chassis. At least 24 in. (61.0 cm) is required in front of the PTX3000. NEBS GR-63 recommends
that you allow at least 30 in. (72.6 cm) in front of the rack.
•Additional clearance is required to accommodate the depth of the cable management system:
1.9 in. (4.8 cm) additional depth in the front of the chassis.
•The compact form-factor of the chassis allows up to four PTX3000 routers to be installed in a single
four-post rack. For all configurations, there must be at least 10 in. (25.4 cm) between the PTX3000 and
neighboring devices to the side, and there must be no obstruction above the chassis that prevents airflow.
Depending on your installation, the required clearance at the rear of the chassis varies:
•A standalone PTX3000 requires 2 in. (5.1 cm) of clearance at the rear (see Figure 1 on page 5).
•Two PTX3000 routers installed back-to-back require 4 in. (10.2 cm) of clearance between the routers
at the rear.
•Four PTX3000 routers installed back-to-back and stacked in a single rack require 10 in. (25.4 cm) of
clearance between the routers at the rear (see Figure 2 on page 6).
NOTE: These requirements have been designed to provide adequate cooling in deployments
with ambient temperatures up to 104°F (40°C).

Step 4: Install the PTX3000
CAUTION: Before installing the PTX3000 router:
•Verify that a mechanical lift is available for the installation.
•Have a qualified technician verify that the rack is strong enough to support the chassis
weight and is adequately supported at the installation site.
•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.
NOTE: A mounting shelf is not required to install the PTX3000.
To install the PTX3000 by using a lift (see Figure 4 on page 11 and Figure 5 on page 12):
1. Load the PTX3000 onto the lift, making sure the PTX3000 rests securely on the mechanical lift.
CAUTION: Do not lift the PTX3000 by using the handles on the front-mounting
flanges. Use these handles only to help position the PTX3000.
2. Using the lift, position the PTX3000 in front of the rack. Lift the chassis slightly above the position you
plan to install it, and position it as close as possible to the rack.
3. With two people in front, push the front-mounting flanges to slide the PTX3000 into the rack until the
front-mounting flanges contact the rack rails. The front-mounting flanges of the chassis align with the
holes in the rack rails.
4. Install a mounting screw into each of the mounting holes aligned with the rack, starting from the bottom
(see Table 3 on page 10). Use an appropriate screwdriver to tighten all the screws completely.
Visually inspect the alignment of the PTX3000. If the PTX3000 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 PTX3000 should be level.

Connect PIC Cables to the PTX3000
The PTX3000 supports PICs and IPLCs that use various kinds of network cable, including multimode and
single-mode fiber-optic cable. For information about the type of cable used by each PIC, see the PTX Series
Interface Module Reference.
You connect the IPLCs to compatible PICs/MICs (see PTX Series IPLC Compatibility), or to other IPLCs, or
to the optical inline amplifier (ILA).
You connect PICs to the network by plugging in network cable. To connect cable to compatible PICs or
IPLCs (see Figure 12 on page 21):
1. To connect the PTX3000 to external devices, you need the following:
•The required length of the type of cable used by the PIC. See the PTX Series Interface Module Reference.
•Number 1 Phillips (+) screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on the cable management system.
•Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding wrist strap (provided in the accessory box).
2. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.
CAUTION: During the initial installation before the chassis is grounded, you must
connect the wrist strap to an approved site ESD point. See the instructions for your
site.
3. If the PIC cable connector port is covered by a rubber safety plug, remove the plug. The IPLC ports
have an attached cover for the connector.
WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cable. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting
or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposure to laser light.
4. Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the PIC or IPLC faceplate. See
Figure 12 on page 21 and Figure 13 on page 22.
