Juniper MX10004, Hardware Manual

Page: 13 / 290

The MX10004 provides 1-Gigabit Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, 25-Gigabit Ethernet, 40-Gigabit
Ethernet, 50-Gigabit Ethernet, 100-Gigabit Ethernet, or 400-Gigabit Ethernet modular solutions that
support up to 38.4 terabits per second (Tbps) of throughput. The MX10004 power system and the
Routing Control Board (RCB) provide redundancy and resiliency.
Benefits
The MX10004 is a small-footprint complement to the larger MX10000 modular chassis, with these
benefits:
• Ease of deployment—The MX10004 features a compact 7-U modular chassis for sites with limited
space or power.
• Modular, flexible design—The MX10004 router uses the custom silicon line cards (2.4 Tbps, 480
Gbps, and 9.6 Tbps throughput) and power supplies found in the larger MX10000 modular chassis.
• Always-on infrastructure base—The MX10004 is engineered with full hardware redundancy for
power and host subsystems—Routing and Control Boards (RCBs)—allowing service providers to meet
stringent service-level agreements across the core.
• Nondisruptive software upgrades—The Junos OS operating system on MX10004 supports high
availability (HA) features such as graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) and nonstop active
routing (NSR).
Chassis Description
The MX10004 router is 7-U tall. You can install up to six MX10004 routers in a standard 42-U rack with
adequate cooling and power. All key MX10004 router components are field-replaceable units (FRUs).
