For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be
adequate space at the front and back of the router. At least 24 in. (61 cm) are required
both in front of and behind the router. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at
least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the router.

Table 36 on page 66 summarizes cabinet requirements and specifications for MX5, MX10,
MX40, and MX80 routers.
Guidelines for the MX80 Router
The minimum-sized cabinet that can accommodate the router is 19-in. (482-mm)
wide and 23.62-in. (600-mm) deep. A cabinet larger than the minimum requirement
provides better airflow and reduces the chance of overheating. If you provide adequate
cooling air and airflow clearance, you can stack several routers in a cabinet that has
sufficient usable vertical space. Each router requires 2 U.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated
Equipment (document number EIA-310-D) published by the Electronic Components
Industry Association (ECIA) (
With adequate cooling air and airflow clearance, you can stack multiple MX5, MX10,
MX40, and MX80 routers in a cabinet with a four-post rack. In all cases, the rack must
meet the strength requirements to support the weight.
The minimum total clearance inside the cabinet is 30.7 in. (780 mm) between the
inside of the front door and the inside of the rear door.
