The packet transport router is a complete routing system that provides 10-Gigabit
Ethernet, 40-Gigabit Ethernet, and 100-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for large networks
and network applications. The packet transport router supports up to eight Flexible PIC
Concentrators (FPCs). It provides up to 3.84 terabits per second (Tbps) per second, full
duplex (1.92 Tbps per second of any-to-any, nonblocking, half-duplex) switching.
The packet transport router is shipped in a wooden crate. A wooden pallet forms the
base of the crate. The packet transport router chassis is bolted to this pallet. The shipping
crate contains:
•
One accessory box (the box to which this Quick Start is taped)
•
One Juniper Networks PTX3000 Packet Transport Router
•
One Quick Start (this document)
Step 1: Prepare the Site for the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router
Before installing the packet transport router, make sure that the site meets all the power,
environmental, and clearance requirements. See the site preparation guidelines in the
PTX3000 Packet Transport Router Hardware Guide

Rack-Mounting Requirements
•
You can install the packet transport router in many types of racks, including a four-post
rack or cabinet or an open-frame rack. The chassis is 38.5 in. (97.8 cm) high, 8.7 in.
(22.1 cm) deep, and 17.6 in. (44.7 cm) wide. The cable management system on the
front of the chassis adds 1.9 in. (4.8 cm) to the depth, for a total depth of 10.6 in.
(26.9 cm). The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width to 19 in.
(48.3 cm). See
•
The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the external dimensions
of the PTX3000 chassis. The chassis is 17.6 in. (44.7 cm) wide.
