Installation Guidelines and Requirements

The distance between the mounting holes in the two posts must be 18.31 inches ±.063 inch, as specified in the EIA-310-D.

Do not use an enclosed rack for ERX-7xx models or the ERX-310 router. It does not provide adequate ventilation.

A fully loaded rack with three ERX-14xx models must structurally support 300 pounds (136 kilograms).

Optional mounting kits are available for 19-inch and 23-inch rack mounting (mid-chassis and front-chassis mounting). Contact your Juniper Networks sales representative for more information.

Space Requirements

If you use an enclosed rack for an ERX-14xx model, ensure that there is a minimum of 3 inches of clearance between the inner side wall and the router. This clearance space ensures adequate air flow.

Proper Rack Installation

To confirm proper equipment rack installation, verify the following:

Racks are installed and electrically grounded according to manufacturer instructions.

Equipment racks are anchored to the floor and, when possible, anchored to the ceiling as well.

Equipment rack installations comply with applicable local, state, and national codes.

CAUTION: To maintain airflow requirements, a plenum must be installed above ERX-14xx models before any other piece of equipment is installed above the router.
