To install the Juniper Networks MX10004 router in a rack, follow these steps:
1. Review the General Safety Guidelines and Warnings.
2. Attach the mounting blades to the front rack posts using six rack mount screws.
3. Slide the mounting tray into the rear posts of the rack, ensuring that the mounting blades slide into the grooves on the mounting tray.
4. Attach the mounting tray to the rear rack posts using eight rack mount screws.
5. Check that the mounting tray is level.
6. Attach the mounting tray to the mounting blades in the rack using the twelve Phillips 8-32 x .375 in. flat-head screws.
7. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end to a site ESD point.
8. Load the router onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform.
9. Align the router in front of the rack, centering it in front of the mounting tray.
10. Lift the chassis approximately 0.75 in. (1.9 cm) above the surface of the mounting tray and align it as close as possible to the tray.

12. Attach the chassis to the rack by inserting eight rack mount screws through each open flange hole and rack hole, starting from the bottom.
13. Move the lift away from the rack.
14. Check the alignment of the router and tighten the screws. The rack mount screws on each side of the rack should line up, and the router should be level.
