• Ensure that you have a Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2 or number 3, depending on the size of your
rack-mount screws.
If you cannot use a mechanical lift to remove the router (the preferred method), you can remove it
manually.
CAUTION: Because of the router's size and weight, we strongly recommend that you
use a mechanical lift to remove the MX10004. Lifting the chassis and removing it from a
rack or cabinet requires at least three people.
Make sure the chassis is empty (contains only the fan tray controllers) before you lift it.
CAUTION: When removing more than one router chassis from a rack, remove the
routers in order from top to bottom.
To manually remove an MX10004 router from a four-post rack:
1. Remove all optics, line cards, RCBs, power supplies, fan trays, and SFBs before you attempt to move
the router chassis. See the following topics:
•

Ensure that all the removed components are stored in antistatic bags.
2. Use the appropriate Phillips (+) screwdriver to remove the screws that attach the chassis to the rack.
WARNING: To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your
back. Do not twist your body as you lift. Balance the load evenly and be sure that your
footing is firm.
3. Position one person on each side of the rack and another in the rear of the chassis.
