Install the Front Door on an MX10004 Router

SUMMARY The front door (JNP10004-FRNT-PNL) on the Juniper Networks MX10004 router protects the fiber-optic cabling and protects the router from electromagnetic interference (EMI).

You can install the front door with or without the optional cable management system. You can also order JNP10004-FRPNL1 for installations that require an air filter.

Install a Front Door Without the Air Filter on an MX10004 Router

Use the front door provided with the router chassis. See Figure 1 to verify that you have the front door without an air filter.

To install the front door:

  1. Wrap and fasten one end of the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to the ESD point on the front of the chassis. See Figure 2.

  2. Insert all optics.
  3. Lift the front door and align the captive screws in the door with holes in the chassis flange. Fasten the door to the chassis and rack using the captive screws, and hand tighten. See Figure 3.

Install a Front Door with Filter

Be sure you have the following tools and parts before you begin:

  • A Phillips(+) screwdriver, number 2 (not provided)

  • Front door (provided)

  • Three cable seals—Two seals for the right side and one for the left side (provided)

  • Cable management system (provided)

See Figure 4 for the shipped components.

The JNP10004-FRPNL1 EMI front door has an air filter. We recommend that you replace the air filter every six months. The order number for a spare filter is JNP10004-FLTR.

To install a front door with an air filter:

  1. Install the cable management system. SeeInstall the MX10004 Cable Management System.
    CAUTION:

    You must have the extended ejector handles of the cable management system installed to remove or install the line cards if you use the front door with an air filter.

  2. Install the cable seals.
    1. Remove the top right mounting screw next to the Routing and Control Board (RCB) with the Phillips screwdriver. The mounting screws attach the chassis flanges to the four-post rack.
    2. Line up the top hole of the RCB cable seal over the mounting hole in the flange and align the second hole over the ESD grounding point. Fasten the seal and flange to the rack using the Phillips screwdriver to tighten the mounting screw.
    3. Loosen the mounting screws next to the line card along one side of the chassis.
    4. Position the keyhole slots of one of the long cable seals over the mounting screws. The long cable seals are not interchangeable; there is a right seal and a left seal. Install the seals so that the keyhole slots are on the inside, next to the line card. See Figure 6.
      Figure 6: Install the Cable Seals Install the Cable Seals
    5. Slide the keyhole slot down behind the mounting screws and align the cable seal with the chassis. Tighten the mounting screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
    6. Repeat Step 2.c through Step 2.e for the remaining cable seal.
  3. Install optics and attach the front door.
    1. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to the ESD point on the front of the chassis. See Figure 2.
    2. Insert all optics and thread the cables through the cable seals.
    3. Lift the front door, and align the captive screws in the door with holes in the chassis flange below the cable seals. Fasten the door to the chassis and rack, and hand tighten.

To install the air filter in the front door:

  1. Turn the knobs on the air filter frame counter-clockwise, and flip the frame cover up to uncover the top of the front door.

    CAUTION:

    Juniper Networks recommends installing the air filter to prevent harmful debris from entering the chassis.

  2. Hold the air filter with both hands and insert it through the top of the front door until it stops. See Figure 7.

  3. Flip the air filter frame down, over the front door, and turn the knobs on the air filter frame clockwise to secure the frame over the air filter.

To remove the air filter from the front door:

  1. Turn the knobs on both sides of the air filter frame counter-clockwise and flip the frame cover up to uncover the top of the front door.

  2. Grasp the air filter with both hands and lift the air filter out through the top of the front door. See Figure 8.
