MX10016 Chassis
MX10016 Chassis Physical Specifications
The MX10016 modular chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the field-replaceable units (FRUs). You can mount up to two MX10016 chassis in a standard 19-in. four-post (42 U) rack, provided the rack can handle the combined weight and there is adequate power and cooling.Table 1 summarizes the physical specifications of the chassis. See Figure 1.

3 — Handles |
The handles on each side of the chassis facilitate the fine-tune positioning of the chassis on the mounting brackets. Do not use the handles to lift the chassis, even when the chassis is empty. See Installing an MX10016 into a Four-Post Rack for instructions for properly moving a loaded chassis.
MX10016 Field-Replaceable Units
Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are router components that you can replace at your site. The router uses these types of FRUs:
Hot-insertable and hot-removable—You can remove and replace these components without powering off the router or disrupting the routing function.
Hot-pluggable—You can remove and replace these components without powering off the router, but the routing function is interrupted until you replace the component.
Table 2 lists the FRUs and their types for the MX10016 routers.

Redundant configuration:
Base configuration:
|
Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs) |
SFBs are hot-insertable and hot-removable. We recommend that you take SFBs offline before removing them to avoid traffic loss while the router fabric is being reconfigured. Use the following command: user@router> request chassis sib (offline | online) slot slot-number offline |
Line cards |
Hot-insertable and hot-removable. We recommend that you take line cards offline before removing them. For example: user@router> request chassis fpc slot slot-number offline |
Optical transceivers |
Hot-insertable and hot-removable. |
Line cards are not part of the base or redundant configuration. You must order them separately.
If you have a Juniper Care service contract, register any addition, change, or upgrade of hardware components at https://www.juniper.net/customers/support/tools/updateinstallbase/. Failure to do so can result in significant delays if you need replacement parts. This note does not apply if you replace an existing component with the same type of component.

MX10016 Status Panel LEDs
The status panel of the MX10016 routers has two purposes:
Shows the overall status of the chassis
Indicates the type of power bus internal to the chassis
Starting in May 2019, new chassis ship with an enhanced power bus to support the power needs of higher wattage line cards.
The status panel of the MX10016 shows the overall status of the chassis through a set of five bi-color LEDs (see Figure 2 for a chassis with the original power bus).

Chassis that are shipped after May 2019 have the same set of five bi-color LEDs, but also have an azure blue line to indicate the enhanced power bus (see Figure 3).

Table 3 describes the status panel LEDs.

Alarms |
Red ![]() |

Major (red)—Indicates a critical situation on the device that has resulted from one of the following conditions.
A red alarm condition requires immediate action. |
Yellow ![]() |
On steadily |
Minor (yellow or amber)—Indicates a noncritical condition on the device that, if left unnoticed, might cause an interruption in service or degradation in performance. A yellow alarm condition requires monitoring or maintenance. For example, a missing rescue configuration generates a yellow system alarm. |
MX10016 Optional Equipment
The MX10016 router supports the cable management system as an optional piece of equipment.
The cable management system (see Figure 4) enables you to route optical cables away from the line card ports for better airflow through the chassis. Using this optional system also makes it easier to use cable ties or strips to organize the cabling.

The cable management system is comprises a set of handle extensions and a tray that snaps to the extensions (see Figure 5) for an individual line card. The handle extensions can be used with or without the cable tray. It is not necessary to remove the handle extensions if you want to remove a line card.

1 — Handle extensions | 2 — Cable tray |
Cables are draped across or under the handle extensions and then secured with cable wraps (see Figure 6).
