Holding An Mx2010 Mpc - Juniper MX2010 Hardware Manual

Holding an MX2010 MPC

When carrying an MPC, you can hold it either vertically or horizontally.
NOTE: A typical MPC can weigh 25 lb (11.34 kg) or more. Be prepared to accept the full weight
of the MPC as you lift it.
To hold an MPC vertically:
1. Orient the MPC so that the faceplate faces you. To verify orientation, confirm that the text on the MPC
is right-side up and the electromagnetic interference (EMI) strip is on the right-hand side.
2. Place one hand around the MPC faceplate about a quarter of the way down from the top edge. To
avoid deforming the EMI shielding strip, do not press hard on it.
3. Place your other hand at the bottom edge of the MPC.
If the MPC is horizontal before you grasp it, place your left hand around the faceplate and your right hand
along the bottom edge.
To hold an MPC horizontally:
1. Orient the MPC so that the faceplate faces you.
2. Grasp the top edge with your left hand and the bottom edge with your right hand.
You can rest the faceplate of the MPC against your body as you carry it.
As you carry the MPC, do not bump it against anything. MPC components are fragile.
Never hold or grasp the MPC anywhere except places that this document indicates. In particular, never
grasp the connector edge, especially at the power connector in the corner where the connector and bottom
edges meet.
