Juniper Networks M160 manual Installing the Router Using a Mechanical Lift

Chapter 7

Installing the Router Using a Mechanical Lift

Because the router weighs between 190 lb (86 kg) and about 370.5 lb (168 kg) depending on configuration, using a mechanical lift to install it is recommended. This chapter provides instructions. If you do not use a lift, see “Installing the Router without a Mechanical Lift” on page 83. This chapter has the following sections:

Tools and Parts Required

To install the chassis into a rack using a mechanical lift, you need the following tools and parts:

Mechanical lift

5/32-in. Allen (hexagonal) wrench for tightening the mounting screws provided in the accessory box; do not substitute a metric-size wrench

Phillips (+) screwdrivers, numbers 1 and 2, if removing center-mounting brackets or installing rear support shelf

Installing the Chassis Using a Mechanical Lift

Using a mechanical lift to maneuver the router into the rack is recommended because of the router’s size and weight. The lift must be able to accommodate the router’s weight—between 190 lb (86 kg) and about 370.5 lb (168 kg) depending on configuration—and must fit between the support posts of the rack.

NOTE: If you are installing multiple routers in a rack, install the lowest one first and proceed upward.
