MX2020 Chassis Description

The router chassis is a rigid sheet metal structure that houses all the other router components, (see Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3). The chassis installs in a standard 19-in. four-post rack or enclosed cabinet.

Note:

There must be a minimum of 45-U of usable rack space when installing the MX2020 router into a 45-U rack.

Note:

If you are installing the MX2020 router into a network cabinet, make sure that no hardware, device, rack, or cabinet component obstructs the 45-U rack space from access during installation.

There are two types of chassis configurations available for the MX2020:

  • The chassis with standard cable managers and EMI covers measures 78.75 in. (200 cm) high, 19 in. (48.26 cm) wide, and 35.72 in. (90.7 cm) deep.

  • The chassis with extended cable managers and extended EMI covers measures 78.75 in. (200 cm) high, 19 in. (48.26 cm) wide, and 37.46 in. (95.1 cm) deep.

CAUTION:

Before removing or installing components, attach an ESD strap to an ESD point, and place the other end of the strap around your bare wrist. Failure to use an ESD strap could result in damage to the hardware components.

Warning:

The router must be connected to earth ground during normal operation.

Note:

One router can be installed in a 45-U four-post rack if the rack can support the combined weight, which can be greater than 1,500 lb (680.39 kg).

Mounting hardware includes built-in front-mounting flanges on the front of the chassis, and one large shelf attached to a four-post rack or cabinet to support the chassis.

The MX2020 router has four electrostatic discharge (ESD) points. Two are located on either side of the upper MPCs on the front of the chassis. A second pair is located on either side of the lower MPCs on the front of the chassis (see Figure 4).
