date_range 20-Feb-25

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.

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