Juniper MX2010, Hardware Manual

cover on the front of the chassis is 36.20 in. (91.95 cm) deep. An extended cable manager extends the
depth to 40.15 in. (102 cm).
In an open-frame rack, center-mounting is required because the more even distribution of weight provides
greater stability. For center-mounting, you use the mounting brackets attached to the center of the chassis
for rack mounting (see Figure 53 on page 138 ).
For instructions about installing the mounting hardware, see “Installing the MX2010 Mounting Hardware
for a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet” on page 233 .
The weight and depth of the router depends on the type of cable manager installed.
With the standard or extended cable manager installed, use these guidelines:
•
The rack must have sufficient vertical usable space to accommodate the height of the router:
59.50 in. (151.1 cm). You can install one chassis in a rack. A typical four-post rack measures
84 in. (213.4 cm) high, 24 in. (61 cm) through 30 in. (76.2 cm) deep, and 19 in. (48.3 cm) wide (see
Figure 52 on page 137 ). A typical open-frame rack measures 84 in. (213.4 cm) high and 19 in. (48.3 cm)
wide.
NOTE: A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated
Equipment (document number EIA-310-D) published by the Electronic Components Industry
Association (ECIA) ( http://www.ecianow.org ).
•
The location of the rack must provide sufficient space to accommodate the depth of the router. The
chassis with the standard cable manager is 36.20 in. (91.95 cm) deep.
•
The chassis with the extended cable manager is 40.15 in. (102 cm) deep.
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured router, up to 985 lb
(446.79 kg).
NOTE: For a complete list of chassis configuration and individual line card and component
weights and measurements, see “MX2010 Physical Specifications” on page 130 .
