PTX10004 Chassis
The PTX10004 chassis houses the hardware components. The chassis components include the fan trays, fan tray controllers, power supplies, Routing and Control Boards (RCBs), line cards, an optional cable management system, and the status panel.
PTX10004 Chassis Physical Specifications
The PTX10004 modular chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the other router components. You can mount up to six PTX10004 routers in a standard 19-in. 4-post rack (42 U) provided the rack can handle the combined weight and there is adequate power and cooling. See Figure 1 to help identify the major components and see Table 1 for the physical specifications of the chassis of these components.

1 — RCBs | 3 — Handles |
2 — Status panel | 4 — Line cards |
The handles on each side of the chassis facilitate the fine-tune positioning of the chassis on the base brackets. Do not use the handles to lift the chassis, even when the chassis is empty. See Mount the PTX10004 by Using the JNP10004-RMK-4POST Rack Mount Kit for instructions on properly moving a loaded chassis.

PTX10004 Field-Replaceable Units
Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are router components that you can replace at your site. The router uses the following 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 PTX10004 routers.
FRU | Type |
---|---|
Power supplies | Hot-insertable and hot-removable. |
Fan trays | Hot-insertable and hot-removable. |
Fan tray controllers | Hot-insertable and hot-removable. |
Routing and Control Boards (RCBs) | Redundant configuration:
Base configuration:
|
Switch Interface Boards (SIBs) | SIBs are hot-insertable and hot-removable. We recommend that you take SIBs offline before removing them to avoid traffic loss while the router fabric is being reconfigured. Use the following command: user@router> request chassis sib slot slot-number offline |
Line cards | Hot-insertable. We recommend that you take line cards offline before removing them. Use the following command: user@router> request chassis fpc-slot slot-number offline |
Optical transceivers See PTX10004 Optical Transceiver and Cable Support for how to find detailed specifications and the Junos OS release in which the transceivers were introduced. | 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.

PTX10004 Status Panel
The PTX10004 status panel shows the overall status of the chassis.
PTX10004 chassis ship with an enhanced power bus to future-proof the chassis for potential power growth.
The status panel indicates the chassis status through a set of five bicolor LEDs. It has an Azure blue stripe along the left side of the LEDs. See Figure 2 for a chassis status panel.

Table 3 describes the status panel LEDs.
