PTX10004 Installation Overview

The PTX10004 is a rigid sheet-metal router-chassis that houses the other hardware components such as the Routing and Control boards (RCBs), Switch Interface Boards (SIBs), 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 a PTX10004 router in a standard 19-in. (483-mm) equipment rack by using the supplied rack mount kit.

  2. Mount the chassis in the rack following the instructions in Mount the PTX10004 by Using the JNP10004-RMK-4POST Rack Mount Kit.
