Rack-Mounted Installation

We recommend that you use a standard EIA distribution rack. Refer to Rack Requirements in Appendix D, Preparing Your Site, for detailed rack information. Before installing the systems in the rack, consider the following guidelines:

•You can install up to three ERX-1400 series systems in a single 84-inch rack.

Installing multiple systems in a single rack allows you to maximize your available space. An ERX-1400 series system has a plenum that allows air to circulate between systems.

•You can install an ERX-1400 series system and an ERX-700series system together in the same rack.

If you install an ERX-700 series system above an ERX-1400 series system in the same rack, you must install a plenum between the ERX-700 series system and the ERX-1400 series system so that the air can circulate between the systems. See Figure 2-6. This plenum is available from Juniper Networks.

If you install an ERX-1400 series system above an ERX-700 series system, there is no need to install a plenum between the units because the ERX-1400 series system has one at its base.
