Adapter cards provide housing to MPCs. The MPCs attach to the adapter cards, which in turn connect to
the backplane.
Up to two MICs can be installed in each MPC. Fully populated, the MX2010 router supports up to 20
MICs.
For a list of the supported MPCs and MICs, see the

Rack-Mounting Requirements
• You can install the router in an open-frame rack, a four-post rack, or a cabinet.
NOTE: The shipping and installation site must be an ESD-approved area.
• The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the chassis's external dimensions:
59.50 in. (151.13 cm) high, 36.20 in. (91.95 cm) deep, and 19 in. (48.26 cm) wide (from the front-
mounting flanges to the rear of the chassis). An extended cable manager extends the depth to 40.15
in. (102 cm). See
Figure 1 on page 4
In an open-frame rack, center-mounting is required to provide an even distribution of weight for
greater stability. For center-mounting, use the mounting brackets attached to the center of the
chassis for rack mounting.
• The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured router, up to 985 lb
(446.79 kg).
