Installing the Front Panel on an MX10008
The front panel is required on the MX10008 router to protect fiber optic cabling and to provide additional
protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI). The front panel can be installed with or without the
optional cable management system.
Ensure you have the following tools and parts before you begin:
•
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
•
Front panel (provided with the router chassis)
•
Right base bracket (provided)
•
Left base bracket (provided)
•
2 interchangeable latch brackets (provided)
•
8 Phillips flat-head mounting screws (provided)
To install the front panel:
1. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on
the chassis.
2. Remove the plastic bag that is taped to the front panel, which holds the brackets and screws.
3. Use the Phillips screwdriver to attach two mounting screws to the left base bracket at the bottom left
side of the chassis frame. The base brackets are larger than the latch brackets.
