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. (483 mm) equipment rack by using the supplied rack
mount kit and the flange that is attached to the chassis.
To install the MX10008:
1. Unpack the router following the instructions in “Unpacking the MX10008” on page 132.
2. Mount the chassis in the rack following either the instructions in “Manually Mounting an MX10008 in
a 4-Post Rack” on page 147 or in “Mounting an MX10008 in a 4-Post Rack Using a Mechanical Lift” on
page 143.
WARNING: Because of the weight of the chassis, mounting using a mechanical lift
is preferred as the easiest and safest method.
