What Else Do I Need?
• A mechanical li rated for 250 lb (113.4 kg). You can mount an MX10004 router manually or by using a mechanical
li. Because of the router's size and weight, we strongly recommend that you use a mechanical li to mount the
MX10004. In this guide, we show you how to mount the router using a mechanical li.
• 4 AWG (21.1 mm²) stranded wire grounding cable rated 75° C or per local electrical code
• A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 or number 3, depending on the size of your rack-mount screws
• Twenty eight rack mount screws appropriate for your rack to secure the mounng blades, mounng tray, chassis,
and safety restraint to the rack
• A number 3 Pozidriv or Phillips (+) screwdriver for the grounding screws
CAUTION: Ensure that a licensed electrician aaches the appropriate grounding lug to your grounding
cable. Using a grounding cable with an incorrectly aached lug can damage the router.
Assemble the Rack Mount Kit
Here's how to assemble the MX10004 rack-mount kit in a four-post rack:
1. Review the General Safety Guidelines and Warnings.
2. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end to a site
ESD point.
3. Aach the mounng blades to the front rack posts by using six rack mount screws.
4. From the rear of the rack, slide the mounng tray into the rear posts of the rack such that the mounng blades slide
into the grooves on the mounng tray.

3. Align the router in front of the rack, centering it in front of the mounng tray.
4. Li the chassis approximately 0.75 in. (1.9 cm) above the surface of the mounng tray. Align the chassis as close as
possible to the mounng tray.
5. Carefully slide the chassis onto the mounng tray unl the chassis anges touch the rack rails.
6. Starng at the boom, aach the chassis to the rack by inserng eight rack mount screws through each open
ange hole and rack hole.
7. Move the li away from the rack.
8. Check the alignment of the router. The rack mount screws on each side of the rack should line up, and the router
should be level. Tighten the screws.
9. Insert the safety restraint between the rear posts of the rack. It should rest on the top of the chassis and align with
the holes in the rack.
10. Aach the restraint to the rack by inserng six mounng screws through each ange hole and rack hole and
ghtening the screws.

Power On
Now that you’ve installed your MX10004 in the rack and grounded the chassis, you’re ready to connect it to power.
The MX10004 supports AC, DC, high-voltage alternang current (HVAC), and high-voltage direct current (HVDC). In
this guide, we show you how to connect AC power. For DC, HVAC, and HVDC installaons, see MX10004 Universal
Roung Plaorm Hardware Guide.
1. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end to one of
the ESD grounding points on the router.
2. Turn o the power switch on the power supply.
3. If the power source outlet has a power switch, turn it o.
4. Aach each AC power supply to a dedicated power source.
NOTE: If you need power source redundancy, you can aach each power cable to separate power sources.
5. For each AC power cable, insert the end of the cable with the Anderson connector into the power supply. The
connector snaps and locks the cable into posion.
WARNING: Ensure that the power cord does not block access to router components or drape
where people can trip on it.
6. Set the three DIP switches on the power supply to indicate whether one or both power feeds are used, and to
indicate the amperage of the feeds. Together, these switches determine if the chassis operates at 3,000 W, 5,000
W, or 5,500 W. If you're using both power feeds, set switch 1 and switch 2 to the on (|) posion. Power is shared. If
you’re not using power source redundancy, set the unused source to the o (O) posion. The LED turns red and
indicates an error if a power source input is not in use and the DIP switch is on (|).

Switch State Descripon
1 On INP1 is present.
O INP1 is not present.
2 On INP2 is present.
O INP2 is not present.
3 On Enabled for 30-A feed; 5,000 W for
single feed, 5,500 W for dual feeds.
O Enabled for 20-A feed; power supply
capacity is 3,000 W.
7. Plug the AC power cord into the power outlet.
8. If the power source outlet has a power switch, turn it on.
9. Turn on the power switch on the power supply.
10. If you’re using two power feeds, verify that the 1 and 2 LEDs on the power supply faceplates are steadily lit. These
LEDs correspond to INP1 and INP2.
Step 2: Up and Running
SUMMARY
Now that the MX10004 is powered on, let’s do some inial
conguraon to get the router up and running on the
network. It’s simple to provision and manage the MX10004
on your network.
IN THIS SECTION
Connect to the Router and Enter Conguraon
Mode | 8
Connect to the Router and Enter Conguraon Mode
Before you begin conguring the router:
• Ensure that the Roung Control Board (RCB) has the Junos OS Release 22.3R1 or later operang system installed.
8

• If you want to use an RCB that has Junos OS release prior to 22.3R1 or if the show version command displays the
router model as mx10016-olive, you must use the USB install method (not the CLI method) to upgrade the Junos OS
release on the RCB to 22.3R1 or later.
1. Connect the console port on the MX10004 to a laptop or PC using the supplied RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9
adapter. The console (CONSOLE) port is located on the Roung and Control Board (RCB).
2. Verify that your laptop or PC has the following default values:
• Baud Rate—9600
• Flow Control—None
• Data—8
• Parity—None
• Stop Bits—1
• DCD State—Disregard
3. Log in as root. There is no password. If the soware boots before you connect to the console port, you might need
to press the Enter key for the prompt to appear.
login: root
4. Start the CLI.
root@% cli
5. Enter conguraon mode.
root> configure
6. Add a password to the root administraon user account.
[edit]
root@# set system root-authentication plain-text-password
New password: password
Retype new password: password
9

NOTE: Oponally, instead of conguring the root password at the [edit system] hierarchy level, you can use
a conguraon group to strengthen security.
7. (Oponal) Congure the name of the router. If the name includes spaces, enclose the name in quotaon marks (“ ”).
You can congure the router name at the [edit system] hierarchy level.
[edit]
root@# set system host-name
host-name
If your MX10004 router has two RCBs, it is recommended you use a conguraon group. You can use group-name
as re0 or re1.
[edit]
root@# set groups group-name system host-name host-name
For Example:
[edit]
root@# set groups re0 system host-name alpha-router0
[edit]
root@# set groups re1 system host-name alpha-router1
8. Congure the default gateway.
[edit]
root@# set routing-options static route default next-hop address
9. Congure the IP address and prex length for the router management interface.
[edit]
root@# set interfaces em0 unit 0 family inet address address/prefix-length
NOTE: The management port, em0 (MGMT for RJ-45 connecons) is found on the front of the RCBs of the
MX10004 router.
If your MX10004 router has two RCBs, you can congure each RCB with a separate IP address for the
management Ethernet interface.
10

You can use group-name as re0 or re1.
[edit]
root@# set groups group-name interfaces em0 unit 0 family inet address address/prefix-length
For Example:
[edit]
root@# set groups re0 interfaces em0 unit 0 family inet address address/prefix-length
[edit]
root@# set groups re1 interfaces em0 unit 0 family inet address address/prefix-length
10. (Oponal) Congure the stac routes to remote prexes with access to the management port.
[edit]
root@# set routing-options static route remote-prefix next-hop destination-ip retain no-readvertise
For example:
[edit]
root@# set routing-options static route 192.168.0.0/24 next-hop 10.0.3.2 retain no-readvertise
11. (Oponal) Enable Telnet service.
[edit]
root@# set system services telnet
NOTE: When Telnet is enabled, you cannot log in to an MX10004 through Telnet using root credenals.
Root login is allowed only for SSH access.
12. (Oponal) If you used one or more conguraon groups, apply the conguraon groups, substung the
appropriate group name.
[edit]
root@# set apply-groups group name
11

For example:
[edit]
root@# set apply-groups global
global is a group where user log in details, routes, and other informaon is stored.
[edit]
root@# set apply-groups re0
[edit]
root@# set apply-groups re1
13. Commit the conguraon to acvate it on the router.
[edit]
root@# commit
