The chassis includes the following features (see
Figure 3 on page

Front-mounting flanges for mounting in a four-post rack or cabinet.
Center-mounting metal brackets for center-mounting in an open-frame rack (optional).

(ESD) strap to an ESD point, and place the other end of the strap around your bare

WARNING:
The MX2008 router is 24 rack units (U) tall. One router can be installed in an open-frame rack, four-post
rack, or cabinet. The MX2008 router has 10 dedicated line-card slots, which means a maximum of 10
Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) including adapter cards and Modular Interface Cards (MICs) can be
installed on MX2008. ADCs provide housing to MPCs. The MPCs attach to the adapter cards, which in
turn connect to the backplane. Up to 2 MICs can be installed in each MPC. Fully populated, the MX2008
router supports up to 20 MICs. The MX2008 host subsystem consists of two Routing and Control Boards
(RCBs). The RCB is an integrated board and a single FRU that provides Routing Engine and Control Board
functionality and supports virtualization. The router contains 8 SFBs that provide 7+1 redundancy.
One router can be installed in a 24 U or taller open-frame or four-post rack if the rack can support the
combined weight, which can be greater than 664.8 lb (301.55 kg).
NOTE:
The dimensions also include the cable managers and EMI cover.
