Installing the Mounting Hardware

An MX10008 can be installed in a four-post rack or in an open-frame rack. Install the mounting hardware
on the rack before installing the router.
To mount the chassis on a four-post rack, you must first install the mounting hardware in the rack. The
MX10008 and MX10016 routers come with a four-piece set of brackets that supports the chassis in the
rack. This rack mount kit, EX-MOD-RMK-4POST, can be ordered as a spare.
NOTE: An MX10008 cannot be installed in a two-post installation rack.
The main pieces of the rack mount kit are:
One left base bracket. The bracket is labeled LEFT FRONT on the side of the bracket that faces the
interior of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack.
One right base bracket. The bracket is labeled RIGHT FRONT on the side of the bracket that faces the
interior of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack.
Two rear brackets. These brackets are labeled REAR on the side of the bracket that faces the interior
of the rack, near the holes for attaching the bracket to the rack. The rear brackets are interchangeable;
you can use either of the rear brackets with the right or left base bracket.
