Plan rack location, including required space
clearances.
Secure the rack to the floor and building
structure.
Cables
Acquire cables and connectors:
Determine the number of cables needed
based on your planned configuration.
Review the maximum distance allowed for
each cable. Choose the length of the cable
based on the distance between the
hardware components being connected.
Plan the cable routing and management.
Environmental Requirements and Specifications
The MX10016 router must be installed in a four-post rack. It must be housed in a dry, clean, well-ventilated,
and temperature-controlled environment.
Follow these environmental guidelines:
The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and filters, reducing the
efficiency of the router cooling system.
Maintain ambient airflow for normal router operation. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the
intake air is too warm, the router might overheat, causing the router temperature monitor to shut down
the device to protect the hardware components.
Table 28 on page 91
provides the required environmental conditions for normal router operation.
