Router Clearance Requirements
For the cooling system to funcon properly, the airow around the chassis must be unrestricted. You
must allow sucient clearance around the installed chassis for cooling and maintenance.
If you are mounng an MX204 in a rack with other equipment, ensure that the exhaust from the other
equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the MX204 chassis.
For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, and to accommodate the interface
and power cable bend radius, there must be adequate space at the front and rear of the router. Allow at
least 24 in. (61 cm) space in the front and rear of the router. See Figure 5 on page 7.
