MX10004 Environmental Requirements and Specicaons
You must install the MX10004 router in a four-post rack. The router requires housing in a dry, clean,
well-venlated, and temperature-controlled environment.
Follow these environmental guidelines:
• Ensure that the site is as dust free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and lters,
reducing the eciency of the router cooling system.
• Maintain ambient airow for normal router operaon. If the airow is blocked or restricted, or if the
intake air is too warm, the router might overheat. If the router overheats, the router temperature
monitor might shut down the router to protect the hardware components.
Environmental tolerances for altude and operang temperature depend on:
• The type of ESD front door installed—either the standard JNP10004-FRNT-PNL without an air lter
or the JNP10004-FPNL1 with air lter that is available as a spare.
• The waage of the type of opcs being used—either 14 W or 21 W opcs.
• The line card slot. Slot 0 has slightly dierent airow and cooling.
