Table 31: Rack Requirements for the MX10004
Rack Requirement
Guidelines
Rack type: four-post
Use a four-post rack that provides bracket holes or hole patterns
spaced at 1-U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm) increments and that meets the
size and strength requirements to support the weight and seismic
requirements. We recommend that you use a Telect DR1250-84436
rack or an equivalent rack.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in
Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and
Associated Equipment
(document number EIA-310–D) published by
the Electronics Industries Association (EIA).
You can mount up to six MX10004 routers in a four-post rack if:
•
The rack is 42 U or taller.
•
The rack meets the strength requirements to support the weight
and seismic requirements.
•
The facility can provide adequate power and cooling.
TIP: Always mount devices starting at the bottom of the rack.
Rack-mount kit hole spacing
The holes in the rack-mount kit are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or
4.45 cm) so that the router can be mounted in any rack that provides
holes spaced at that distance.
