Figure 1 on page
chassis installs in many types of racks, including 800-mm deep (or larger) enclosed
cabinets, standard 19-in. equipment racks, or telco open-frame racks. Two types of
chassis are available for the MX960 router:
The standard chassis measures 27.75 in. (70.49 cm) high, 17.37 in. (44.11 cm) wide
(excluding the mounting flanges and brackets), and 23.0 in. (58.42 cm) deep (from
the front-mounting flanges to the rear of the chassis). The standard cable manager
extends the depth to 28.0 in. (71.1 cm). Up to three routers can be installed in a 48-U
rack if the rack can handle their combined weight, which can be greater than 1,050 lb
(476.3 kg).
NOTE:
The chassis depth with the high-capacity AC power supply is 30.6"
and the depth with high-capacity DC power supply is 32.8".
The chassis with the extended cable manager installed measures 36.5 in. (92.7 cm)
high, 17.37 in. (44.11 cm) wide, and approximately 29.00 in. (73.7 cm) deep (from the
front-mounting flanges to the rear of the extended cable manager). Up to two routers
with the extended cable manager can be installed in a 48-U rack if the rack can handle
their combined weight, which can be greater than 748 lb (339.28 kg).
