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.
2

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).

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.
3

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):

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.
8

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.

6. Move the lift away from the rack.
7. Install a mounting screw into each of the open front-mounting holes aligned with the rack, starting from the bottom.
8. Visually inspect the alignment of the router. If the router is installed properly in the rack, all the mounting screws on
one side of the rack are aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side and the router is level.
9. After ensuring that the router is aligned properly, tighten the screws.
Step 4–Installing Line Cards
MX10016 line cards are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can be installed in any of the line card slots on the front of the
chassis. The line cards are hot-insertable and hot-removable: You can remove and replace them without powering off the
router or disrupting router functions.
•Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install a line card in the router:
•ESD grounding strap

Install DC Power Supplies | 22
Before supplying power to the MX10016, ensure that you complete these tasks:
16

Ground the Chassis
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, you must connect
the chassis to earth ground before you connect it to power.
For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, you must attach a protective earthing terminal
bracket on the chassis. There are mounting holes for the terminal bracket on the left-rear side of the chassis to connect
to the earth ground (see Figure 16).
Before you connect earth ground to the protective earthing terminal of an MX10016, ensure that a licensed electrician
has attached an appropriate grounding lug to the grounding cable.
CAUTION: Using a grounding cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the router.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•An electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap (provided)
•Protective earthing terminal lug (provided)
•Grounding cable for your MX10016 (not provided)—The grounding cable must be 6 AWG (13.3 mm²), minimum 90° C
wire, or as permitted by the local code.
•Grounding lug for your grounding cable (provided)—This bracket attaches to the lower left corner of the MX10016
router chassis next to PSU 9, providing a protective earthing terminal for the router. The grounding lug required is a
Panduit LCD6-10A-L or equivalent.
•A Phillips screwdriver to tighten the two screws that are mounted on the chassis.
An AC-powered MX10016 gains additional grounding when you plug the power supply in the router into a grounded AC
power outlet by using an AC power cord appropriate for your geographical location.
To connect earth ground to an MX10016:
1. Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug (provided in the accessory kit) to the grounding cable.
2. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the router is mounted.
3. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to the ESD grounding point next to the earthing
posts (see Figure 15).

7. Tighten the two 10-32 screws using a Phillips screwdriver and apply torque between of 30.1 in.-lb (3.4 N-m) and 42.04
in.-lb (4.75 N-m).
8. Dress the grounding cable and ensure that it does not touch or block access to other device components and that it
does not drape where people can trip over it.
Install AC Power Supplies
MX10016 power supplies are hot-insertable and are field-replaceable units (FRUs). You can install up to 10 power supplies
in an MX10016. The power supplies install in the rear of the chassis in the slots provided along the left side.
CAUTION: Do not mix AC and DC power supplies in the same chassis.
Before you install an AC power supply in the router, ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install
an AC power supply in an MX10016:
•Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
•Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1
•Power cords appropriate for your geographical location
•Power cord retainer clips
To install an AC power supply in an MX10016 :
1. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point
on the chassis. There is an ESD point located next to the protective earthing terminal and below PSU 9 on the rear
panel.
2. If the power supply slot has a cover panel on it, insert your thumb and forefinger into the finger holes, squeeze and
pull the cover out of the slot. Save the cover panel for later use. See Figure 17.
