Step 1–Preparing the Site for an MX10016
IN THIS SECTION
Rack-Mounting Requirements | 2
Clearance Requirements | 3
Cooling and Airflow Requirements | 3
MX10016 is a rigid sheet-metal router-chassis that houses field replaceable units (FRUs) such as control boards, Switch
fabric boards (SFBs), 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 an MX10016 router in a
standard 19 in. (48.26 cm) equipment rack by using the supplied rack-mounting kit and the front-mounting bracket that
is attached to the chassis.
Before you install an MX10016, make sure the site meets all the power, cooling, and clearance requirements. See the site
preparation guidelines and power requirements in the MX10016 Universal Routing Platform Hardware Guide
Rack-Mounting Requirements
The MX10016 router chassis is designed to be installed in standard 19-in. wide four-post racks that are spaced at 1 U
(1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) increments.
You can stack one MX10016 chassis at the bottom of a four-post rack if:
•The rack is 42 U or greater.
•The rack meets the strength requirements to support the weight.
•The facility can provide adequate power and cooling.
Before installing the chassis, ensure that:
•The rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the router chassis’ external dimensions. The outer edges of
the front-mounting brackets extend the chassis width to 19 in. (48.26 cm).
•The rack is strong enough to support the weight of the router and cabling.
•The spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for proper clearance around the router and rack.

Clearance Requirements
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted. You must allow sufficient
clearance around the installed chassis for cooling and maintenance (see Figure 1).

For airflow
If you are mounting an MX10016 in a rack with other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment does
not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.
Cooling and Airflow Requirements
The cooling system in an MX10016 chassis consists of dual fan trays and dual fan tray controllers. There is no air filter in
an MX10016.
The air intake to cool the chassis is located on the port (line card) side of the chassis. Air flows into the chassis from the
ports in the control boards and line cards, through the Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs), and exits from the fan trays and the
power supplies. This airflow is called port-to-FRU cooling or airflow out (AFO). See Figure 2.

Figure 2: Airflow Through an MX10016
Follow these guidelines:
•For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted.
•If you are mounting an MX10016 in a rack with other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from other equipment does
not blow into the intake vents of the chassis.
•Leave at least 24 in. (61 cm) both in front of and behind the MX10016 for service personnel to remove and install
hardware components. To be NEBS GR-63 compliant, allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack and 24 in. (61 cm)
behind the rack.
Step 2–Unpacking the MX10016
NOTE: The chassis is maximally protected inside the shipping box. Do not unpack it until you are ready to begin
installation.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to unpack the MX10016:
4

•A 13/32 in. (10 mm) open-end or socket wrench to remove the bracket bolts from the shipping pallet
•A box cutter or packing knife to slice open the nylon straps and tape that seal the crate and boxes
The chassis ships in a cardboard box that has a two-layer wooden pallet base with foam cushioning between the layers.
The router chassis is bolted to the pallet base.
The shipper has the option to either ship the front panel separately or to ship along with the chassis. If the front panel
arrives with the chassis, set aside the front panel box until you are ready to verify the contents of the order.
To unpack the chassis (see Figure 3):
Figure 3: Shipping Crate and Accessory Box
1. Move the shipping box to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible. While the chassis is bolted to the
pallet, you can use a forklift or pallet jack to move it. Make sure there is enough space to remove components from
the chassis.
2. Position the shipping box with the arrows pointing up.

3. Slice the nylon straps with the box cutter that hold the shipping boxes to the pallet.
4. Lift the shipping box off the chassis.
5. Remove the cardboard accessory box.
6. Remove the foam padding from the top of the box.
7. Remove the plastic cover from the router chassis.
8. Use a 13/32 in. (10 mm) open-end or socket wrench to remove the four sets of bracket bolts that secure the chassis
to the shipping pallet (see Figure 4).

Step 3–Mounting the Router Chassis
IN THIS SECTION
Installing the Mounting Hardware | 7
Mounting the MX10016 Using a Mechanical Lift | 9
To install the MX10016, first install the mounting hardware and then use a mechanical lift to load the chassis into the
rack.
Installing the Mounting Hardware
Install the mounting hardware on the rack before installing the router. The MX10016 comes with a four-piece set of
mounting brackets that support the chassis in the rack.
NOTE: Two-post installation racks are not supported.
The four mounting bracket pieces are:
•1 left front mounting bracket. The bracket is labeled “LEFT FRONT” on the side of the bracket that faces the interior of
the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack.
•1 right front mounting bracket. The bracket is labeled “RIGHT FRONT” on the side of the bracket that faces the interior
of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack.
•2 rear mounting brackets. These brackets are labeled “REAR” on the side of the bracket that faces the interior of the
rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack. The rear brackets are interchangeable; you can use either of
the rear brackets with the right or left front-mounting bracket.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the mounting brackets:
•A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1, 2, or 3, depending on the size of your rack-mounting screws
•A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2, to install the screws that connect the rear-mounting and front-mounting brackets
•16 mounting screws appropriate for your rack to attach the 4 mounting bracket pieces to the rack
When you install the mounting brackets, the adjustable portion of the brackets overlap. Use the overlap area to adjust
the total bracket length to fit any of the four standard rack sizes: 19 in. (483 mm), 23.62 in. (600 mm), 30 in. (762 mm), or
31.5 in. (800 mm).
To install the mounting brackets in a four-post rack:
7

1. Remove the mounting brackets from the accessory box.
2. Decide where to place the chassis in the rack. If the rack is empty, mount the router in the lowest possible location.
See “Rack-Mounting Requirements” on page 2.
3. Position the left front adjustable mounting bracket at the desired position in the left side of the rack and line up its
front screw holes with the holes in the rack. Use four mounting screws appropriate for your rack to attach the left
front bracket to the rack.
4. Position one of the rear brackets at the left rear of the rack on the same level as the left front bracket, so that the rear
bracket overlaps with the left front bracket. The screw holes for connecting the front and rear brackets should overlap.
Use four mounting screws appropriate for your rack to attach the rear bracket to the rack.
5. Connect left front and rear brackets (see Figure 5):
a. Insert six of the screws provided with the mounting brackets into the overlapping bracket holes.
b. Hand-tighten the screws fully (to 12–16 in.-lb torque) using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.
Figure 5: Mounting Brackets for 4-Post Rack Installation
2—1—Rear adjustable mounting bracketsFront adjustable mounting brackets
6. Position the right front adjustable mounting bracket at the desired position in the right side of the rack opposite the
installed left front bracket, so that it is on the same rack level as the left bracket. If the right and left front brackets are
not on the same level, the chassis will rest at an angle in the rack instead of resting flat and level. Line up the right
bracket's front screw holes with the holes in the rack. Use four mounting screws appropriate for your rack to attach
the right front bracket to the rack.

7. Position the other rear bracket at the right rear of the rack on the same level as the right front bracket, so that the rear
bracket overlaps with the right front bracket. The screw holes for connecting the front and rear brackets should overlap.
Use four mounting screws appropriate for your rack to attach the rear bracket to the rack.
8. Connect the right front and rear brackets (see Figure 5):
a. Insert six of the screws provided with the mounting brackets into the overlapping bracket holes.
b. Hand-tighten the screws fully (to 12–16 in.-lb torque) using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.
Mounting the MX10016 Using a Mechanical Lift
Because of the router's size and weight, the MX10016 can safely be installed only by using a mechanical lift.
CAUTION: Do not install line cards in the chassis until after you mount the chassis securely on a rack
or cabinet.
CAUTION: Before front-mounting the router on a rack or cabinet, have a qualified technician verify that
the rack or cabinet is strong enough to support the router's weight and is adequately supported at the
installation site.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the router:
•A mechanical lift rated for 1000 lbs. (453.6 kg)
•12 mounting screws appropriate for your rack
•A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 or number 3, depending on the size of your rack-mounting screws
CAUTION: If you are installing more than one router in a rack or cabinet, install the first router at the
bottom of the rack.
To install the router using a mechanical lift (see Figure 6):
1. Ensure that the rack or cabinet is placed in its permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure that the
installation site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and maintenance. For details, see “Cooling and Airflow
Requirements” on page 3.
2. Load the router onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform.

3. Using the lift, align the router in front of the rack, centering it in front of the mounting brackets.
4. Lift the chassis approximately 0.75 in. (1.9 cm) above the surface of the mounting brackets. Align the chassis as close
as possible to the mounting brackets.
5. Carefully slide the chassis onto the adjustable mounting brackets until the front-mounting brackets attached to the
chassis contact the rack rails. The mounting brackets ensure that the holes in the front-mounting brackets align with
the holes in the rack rails. See Figure 7.
