PTX10008 Chassis
The PTX10008 chassis houses the hardware components. The chassis components include the fan trays, fan tray controllers, power supplies, Routing and Control Boards (RCBs), line cards, optional cable management system, and the status panel.
PTX10008 Chassis Physical Specifications
The PTX10008 modular chassis is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the other router components. You can mount up to three PTX10008 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. Table 1 summarizes the physical specifications of the chassis. See Figure 1.

2 — Status panel | 5 — Line cards |
3 — Handles |
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 PTX10008 by Using the JNP10004-RMK-4POST Rack Mount Kit, Mount the PTX10008 by Using the EX-MOD-RMK-4POST Rack Mount Kit, or Mount the PTX10008 by Using the JNP10K-RMK-4PST-XT Rack Mount Kit for instructions for properly moving a loaded chassis.

PTX10008 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 PTX10008 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 PTX10008 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.

PTX10008 Status Panel
The status panel of the PTX10008 has two purposes:
Shows the overall status of the chassis
Indicates the type of power bus internal to the chassis
Some 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. See Figure 2 for a chassis status panel with the standard power bus.

Other chassis also have the same set of five bicolor LEDs, but also have an azure blue line to indicate the presence of the enhanced power bus (see Figure 3).

Table 3 describes the status panel LEDs.

PTX10008 Optional Equipment
The PTX10008 routers supports the cable management system (JLC-CBL-MGMT-KIT) as an optional equipment:
PTX10008 Cable Management System
You can use the PTX10008 cable management system (see Figure 4) to route optical cables away from the line-card ports for better airflow through the chassis. Using this optional system also makes it easier to use cable ties or strips to organize the cabling.

The cable management system comprises a set of handle extensions and a tray that snaps to the extensions (see Figure 5) for an individual line card. You can use the handle extensions with or without the cable tray. You don’t need to remove the handle extensions if you want to remove a line card.

1 — Handle extensions | 2 — Cable tray |
Cables are draped across or under the handle extensions and then secured with cable wraps (see Figure 6).
