MX10008 Installation Overview
The MX10008 is a rigid sheet-metal router-chassis that houses the other hardware components such as RCBs, Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs), power supplies, fan trays, and line cards. The router chassis ships in a cardbox box that has a two-layer wooden pallet base. The router chassis is bolted to the pallet base. You can install an MX10008 router in a standard 19 in.
