CAUTION:
If you are installing more than one router in a rack, install the lowest one
first. Installing a router in an upper position in a rack or cabinet requires a
lift.
Before front-mounting the router in a rack, have a qualified technician verify
that the rack is strong enough to support the router's weight and is
adequately supported at the installation site.
Lifting the chassis and mounting it in a rack requires two people (one person
to hold the router in place and a second person to install the screws). The
fully loaded chassis weighs approximately 22.7 lb (10.3 kg).
The MX204 router is designed for installation in a rack that complies with either of the
following standards:
19-in. rack—A 19-in. (450 mm) rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and
Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310-D) published by the Electronics

ETSI rack—A 21-in. (500 mm) ETSI rack as defined in the European Telecommunications
