Chapter 6: Installing and Connecting a Services Router

Installing J2320 and J2350 Routers

WARNING: DC-powered Services Routers are intended for installation only in a restricted access location.

You can center-mount or front-mount the J2320 and J2350 Services Routers in a rack. In general, a center-mount rack is preferable to a front-mount rack because the more even distribution of weight in the center-mount rack provides greater stability.

Many types of racks are acceptable, including four-post (telco) racks, enclosed cabinets, and open-frame racks. For more information about the type of rack or cabinet the J-series router can be installed into, see “Rack Requirements” on page 104.

WARNING: If you are installing multiple routers in one rack, install the lowest one first and proceed upward in the rack. Install heavier routers in the lower part of the rack. The router must be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

WARNING: The J2320 or J2350 chassis weighs between 14.8 lb (6.7 kg) and 18.2 lb (8.3 kg). Read and follow the lifting guidelines in “Chassis Lifting

Guidelines” on page 266.

To install the J2320 or J2350 router into a rack:

1.If necessary, reposition the mounting brackets. You can position the brackets in either the center or the front. Positioning the brackets in the center offers greater stability.

J2320 and J2350 Services Routers come with mounting brackets installed on them (see Figure 55 on page 119).

2.Have one person grasp the sides of the router, lift the router, and position it in the rack.
