Installing a NetIron XMR 16000 router
This section describes how to install a NetIron XMR 16000 router.
Preparing the installation site
Before installing the router, plan the location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. For cooling purposes, allow a
minimum of six inches of space between the sides, front, and the back of the router and walls or other obstructions. If a router is installed
in a perforated enclosure, the perforations must cover at least 60 percent of the surface.
Ensure that the proper power and network cabling is installed in the site. For information on cabling, refer to “Installing power supplies in a
NetIron XMR 16000 router” on page 160, and “Attaching a management station” on page 186.
Unpacking a NetIron XMR 16000 router
The NetIron XMR 16000 router ships with the following items:
•
Router chassis with the appropriate number of switch fabric modules installed in slots marked SF, and slot blanks installed in all
empty slots.
•
Insertion or extraction tool for use with RJ45 and fiber-optic connectors.
If any items are missing, contact the place of purchase.
Follow these steps to unpack a NetIron XMR 16000 router.
