The MX2020 3D Universal Edge Router with the standard cable manager is 45 rack units
(U) tall. One router with the standard cable manager can be installed in a single rack or
cabinet.
NOTE: There must be a minimum of 45-U of usable rack space when installing
the MX2020 router into a 45-U rack.
NOTE: If you are installing the MX2020 router into a network cabinet, make
sure that no hardware, device, rack, or cabinet component obstructs the 45-U
rack space from access during installation.
The MX2020 router has 20 dedicated line card slots, which means a maximum of 20
Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) housed in adapter cards (ADCs) that can
accommodate Modular Interface Cards (MICs), a host subsystem consisting of 2 Control
Boards with Routing Engines (CB-REs), and 8 Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs).
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 MX2020 router supports
up to 40 MICs.
For a list of the supported MPCs and MICs, see the MX Series Interface Module Reference.
The router is shipped in a wooden crate, bolted securely to a wooden pallet. Metal latches
secure the top and bottom in place. Quick Start installation instructions, a large rack
mount tray, EMI covers, and a cardboard accessory box are also included in the shipping
container.
NOTE: The shipping container and router (fully populated) weighs
approximately 2042 lb (926.24 kg), depending on your configuration.
