Installing a NetIron XMR 32000 router
•
You can install one NetIron XMR 32000 router in a standard 19-inch (EIA310-D) rack. YOu can install your device in either a
front-mount configuration or a mid-mount configuration using the factory-installed mounting brackets. For a mid-mount
configuration, simply remove the mounting brackets from the front edges of the device and re-attach them to the center sides of
the device using the pre-drilled holes.
•
You must provide eight standard #12-24 pan-head screws to secure the router in the rack. Before performing this task, you
should have an assembled rack and a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
•
An empty NetIron XMR 32000 chassis weighs approximately 325 lbs. You must use a mechanical device (such as a material lift
or work positioner), and four people are required to guide the router into place.
Follow these steps to install a NetIron XMR 32000 router in a rack.
NOTE
For better grounding of the router to the rack, attach the router using star washers. You can also use star washers with single hole
grounding lugs to prevent rotation of the lug.
1. Ensure the rack is in a permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure that the installation site allows adequate
clearance for airflow, installation, and maintenance.
2. Move the pallet and router as close to the installation site as possible.
3. Use a power drill with a large Phillips screwdriver attachment to remove the four L-brackets that attach the base of the router to
the inner pallet. Refer to Figure 117.

4. Use a mechanical lift equipped with a lift plate. Position the lift plate as close to the front of the router as possible. Adjust the lift
plate height to be even with the bottom of the router.
