Mounting the MX10016 Using a Mechanical Lift | 9
To install the MX10016, first install the mounting hardware and then use a mechanical lift to load the chassis into the
rack.
Installing the Mounting Hardware
Install the mounting hardware on the rack before installing the router. The MX10016 comes with a four-piece set of
mounting brackets that support the chassis in the rack.
NOTE:
Two-post installation racks are not supported.
The four mounting bracket pieces are:
1 left front mounting 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.
1 right front mounting 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.
2 rear mounting 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 front-mounting bracket.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install the mounting brackets:
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1, 2, or 3, depending on the size of your rack-mounting screws
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2, to install the screws that connect the rear-mounting and front-mounting brackets
16 mounting screws appropriate for your rack to attach the 4 mounting bracket pieces to the rack
When you install the mounting brackets, the adjustable portion of the brackets overlap. Use the overlap area to adjust
the total bracket length to fit any of the four standard rack sizes: 19 in. (483 mm), 23.62 in. (600 mm), 30 in. (762 mm), or
31.5 in. (800 mm).
