Juniper MX10004 - MX10004 Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance

MX10004 Clearance Requirements for Airow and Hardware
Maintenance
When you plan the site for an MX10004 router installaon, you must allow sucient clearance around
the installed chassis for cooling and maintenance. See Figure 33 on page 87 for a top view of clearance
for the MX10004.
Figure 33: MX10004 Clearance Requirements
Follow these guidelines:
• For the cooling system to funcon properly, the airow around the chassis must be unrestricted. See
"MX10004 Cooling System" on page 26 for more informaon about the airow through the chassis.
• If you plan to mount an MX10004 in a rack with other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from
other equipment doesn’t blow into the intake vents of the chassis.
• Leave at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the chassis and at least 24 in. (61 cm) behind the MX10004
so that service personnel can remove and install hardware components. To be NEBS GR-63
compliant, allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the rack.
