MX10004 Installation Overview

The MX10004 is a rigid sheet-metal router-chassis. It houses the other hardware components such as the Routing and Control Boards (RCBs), Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs), power supplies, fan trays, and line cards. The router chassis ships in a cardboard box that has a two-layer wooden pallet base. The router chassis is bolted to the pallet base. You can install an MX10004 router in a standard 19-in. (483-mm) equipment rack by using the supplied rack-mount kit.

Perform the following steps to install the MX10004:

  1. Unpack the router following the instructions in Unpack the MX10004 Router.
  2. Mount the chassis in the rack following the instructions in Mount the Juniper Networks MX10004 Router Using the JNP10004-RMK-4POST Rack-Mount Kit.

    Because of the weight of the chassis, we recommend mounting using a mechanical lift. A mechanical lift is the easiest and safest method.
