This section describes the mounting of the X7 Router. Follow the pre-installation guidelines,
Section 4.1.1, on page 13 , before attempting installation.
The X7 Router requires a minimum of one rack unit (1.75 inches) of vertical rack space.
Measure the proposed rack location before mounting. If the X7 Router is mounted in an
enclosed the router must have adequate ventilation. An enclosed rack should have louvered
sides and top with fans to provide cooling air. Before using a particular rack, check for
obstructions that could impede installation.
1. All mating connectors must be prepared correctly for installation. See Appendix D, Cable
Preparation on page 33 (for all routers) and Appendix E, DC Power Supply Installation (for
routers with DC power supply options, only).
2. Attach the rack ears (included) to the X7 Router with the hardware provided.
3. Mount the X7 Router in the rack.
4. Follow installation procedures for power supply options:
•
Option 1 or Option 2 ( Section 4.5.1, on page 16 ) for AC power supply
• Or, Option 3 ( Section 4.5.2, on page 17 ) for DC power supply
4.5.1 Installing With an AC Power Supply (Option 1 or 2)
For an X7 Router with an AC power supply Option 1 and 2 follow these steps:
CAUTION: Direct connections to the power source should only be made by a
properly licensed electrician. Installation must meet applicable electrical codes.
CAUTION: Improper power source rating, excessive noise or transients, or
undersized circuit breaker will result in service interruption.
CAUTION: If power must be removed from the chassis, the power cord must be
disconnected, first.
CAUTION: The BUC power requirement must match the proper voltage. The BUC
may sustain damage if used with the incorrect power supply.
NOTE: Install an easily accessible socket-outlet near the equipment.
1. First, perform steps 1-6 of the Installation Checklist, Section 4.1, on page 13 .
2. Select the appropriate BUC voltage ( +24 or +48 VDC) by sliding the BUC voltage selector
switch ( Table 3-3, X7 Router Rear Panel Connector and LED Descriptions on page 11 :
