What’s in the Crate?

Along with your PTX10004, you’ll also find:

  • A rack mount kit with:
    • Twelve Phillips 8-32 x.375 in. flat-head screws
    • Two rear rails
    • A mounting tray
    • Arear safety restraint
  • The front door kit
  • An accessory kit with:

    • Media kit (flash drives, PCMCIA card adapter)
    • Ground chassis lug, 2-hole, 10-32, 4 AWG
    • Power cord retainer clips, two for each power supply

What Else Do | Need?

  • A mechanical lift rated for 250 Ib (113.4 kg). You can mount a PTX10004 manually or by using a mechanical lift. Because of the router’s size and weight, we strongly recommend that you use a mechanical lift to mount the PTX10004. In this guide, we show you how to mount the router using a mechanical lift.
  • 4 AWG (21.1 mm?) stranded wire grounding cable rated 75° C or per local electrical code
  • A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 or number 3, depending on the size of your rack mount screws
  • A number 3 Pozidriv or Phillips (+) screwdriver for the grounding screws
  • Twenty eight rack mount screws appropriate for your rack to secure the mounting blades, mounting tray, chassis, and safety restraint to the rack

Assemble the Rack Mount Kit

  1. Attach the mounting blades to the front rack posts using six rack mount screws.
  2.  From the rear of the rack, slide the mounting tray into the rear posts of the rack such that the mounting blades align below the flanges on either sides of the mounting tray.
  3. Attach the tray to the rear rack posts using eight rack mount screws.
  4. Attach the tray to the mounting blades in the rack using the 12 flat-head screws.

Mount the PTX10004 on a the Rack and Ground the Chassis

  1. Wrap and fasten one end of the electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end to a site ESD point.

  2. Load the router onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform.

  3. Align the router in front of the rack, centering it in front of the mounting tray.

  4. Lift the chassis approximately 0.75 in. (1.9 cm) above the surface of the mounting tray. Align the chassis as close as possible to the mounting tray.

  5. Carefully slide the chassis onto the shelf until the chassis flanges contact the rack rails.

  6. Starting at the bottom, attach the chassis to the rack by inserting eight rack mount screws through each open flange hole and rack hole.

Chassis

  7. Move the lift away from the rack.

  8. Check the alignment of the router. The rack mount screws on each side of the rack should line up, and the router should be level. Tighten the screws.

  9. Insert the safety restraint between the rear posts of the rack. It should rest on the top of the chassis and align with the holes in the rack.

  10. Attach the restraint to the rack by inserting six mounting screws through each flange hole and rack hole and tightening the screws.

  11. Install the line cards:
    a. Remove the line card cover by grasping the handles and pulling straight out to expose the slot for the line card. Save the cover.
    b. Slide the line card all the way into the slot until the handle holes line up.
    c. Rotate the handles simultaneously into the chassis until the card is fully seated and the handles are vertical.

  12. Install the optics and optional cable management system.

  13. Lift the front door and line up the captive screws in the door with the holes in the chassis flange. Attach the door to the chassis and rack using the captive screws. Turn the screws until they are finger tight.

  14. Have a licensed electrician attach the cable lug (provided in the accessory kit) to the grounding cable.

  15. Remove the two Mé screws with attached washers below the bottom power supply using a Pozidriv or Phillips screwdriver.

  16. Place the chassis grounding lug and cable over the screw holes with the cable connection pointing to the left. Place the two screws with attached washers over the grounding lug and grounding cable. Tighten the two M6 screws using a Pozidriv or Phillips screwdriver.

Power On

Now that you’ve installed your PTX10004 in the rack and grounded the chassis, you’re ready to connect it to power.

The PTX10004 supports AC, DC, high-voltage alternating current (HVAC), and high-voltage direct current (HVDC). In this guide, we show you how to connect AC power. See the PTX10004 hardware guide for information on other power options.

  1. Wrap and fasten one end of the electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end to a site ESD point.

  2. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, turn it off.
    NOTE: If you need power source redundancy, you can attach each power cable to separate power sources.

  3. Turn off the power switch on the power supply.

  4. Attach each power supply to a dedicated power source.

  5. Set the three DIP switches on the power supply to indicate whether one or both power feeds are used, and to indicate the amperage of the feeds. Together, these switches determine if the chassis operates at 3,000 W, 5,000 W, or 5,500 W. If you’re using both power feeds, set switch 1 and switch 2 to the on (]) position. Power is shared. If you’re not using power source redundancy, set the unused source to the off (O) position. The LED turns red and indicates an error if a power source input is not in use and the DIP switch is on (|).
    1| State| Description
    ---|---|---
    On| INPO is present.
    Off| INPO is not present.
    2| On| INP1 is present.
    Off| INP1 is not present.
    3| On| Enabled for 30-A feed; 5,000 W for single feed, 5,500 W for dual feeds
    Off| Enabled for 20-A feed; power supply capacity is 3,000 W.

  6. Plug the AC power cord into the power outlet.

  7. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, turn it on.

  8. Turn on the power switch on the power supply.

  9. If you’re using two power feeds, verify that the 1 and 2 LEDs on the power supply faceplates are steadily lit. These LEDs correspond to INPO and INP1.

Now that the PTX10004 is powered on, let’s do some initial configuration to get the router up and running on the network. It’s simple to provision and manage the PTX10004 on your network

The PTX10004 supports zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) which autoinstalls a software image and devicespecific configuration file when you connect the PTX10004 and other devices on your network. To use ZTP, you’ll need to configure settings on a DHCP server. For more information, see Zero Touch Provisioning Using DHCP Options.

Connect to the Router

  1. Connect the console port to a laptop or PC using the supplied RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter. The console (CONSOLE) port is located on the Routing and Control Board (RCB).

  2. Verify that your laptop or PC has the following default values:

    • Baud Rate—9600
    • Flow Control-None
    • Data—8
    • Parity—None
    • Stop Bits—1
    • DCD State—Disregard
  3. Have the following information ready before you start to configure the PTX10004:

    • The password you’ll set for the root user
    • The name on the system that the PTX10004 will be known as (hostname)
    • The IP address and prefix of the default gateway router
    • The IP address and prefix length information for the management Ethernet interface
    • The IP address and prefix length of remote prefixes
  4. Login as root. There is no password. If the software boots before you connect to the console port, you might need to press the Enter key for the prompt to appear.

  5. Start the CLI.

Set a Root Password and an Optional Hostname

  1. Add a password to the root administration user account.
    Login as root.

  2. (Optional) Configure the name of the router. If the name includes spaces, enclose the name in quotation marks (“”).
    Login as root.

  3. (Optional) Create a user account.
    Login as root.

  4. (Optional) Set the user account class to super-user.

Login as root.

Configure the Default Gateway and Ethernet Interface

  1. Configure the default gateway.
    Login as root.

  2. Configure the IP address and prefix length for the router management interface.
    Login as root.
    CAUTION: Although the CLI lets you configure two management Ethernet interfaces
    within the same subnet, the PTX10004 supports only one interface.
    NOTE: The management ports—em or rea:mgmt-0 (MGMT for RJ-45 connections) and en1 (also labeled MGMT for fiber connections)—are on the front of the RCB.

Configure Optional Routes, Services, and Commit the Configuration

  1. (Optional) Configure static routes for destinations reachable over the management interface that should not be routed using the previously defined default route.
    Login as root.

  2. Enable services such as SSH and Telnet.
    NOTE: You won’t be able to log in to the router as the root user through Telnet. Root login is allowed only through SSH.
    To enable SSH:
    Login as root.
    To enable Telnet:
    Login as root.

  3. Commit the configuration to activate it on the router.
