Installing the Router Using a Mechanical Lift
If possible, use a mechanical lift to install the MX960 router. If a mechanical lift is not
available, manual installation is possible and is covered in the next section.
Before installing the router in a front-mount 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
site.
• Load the router onto the lift, ensuring that it rests securely on the lift platform.
• Usingg the lift,, p
position the router in front of the rack or cabinet,, centeringg it in front of
the mounting shelf.
• Lift the chassis approximately 0.75 in above the surface of the mounting shelf, and
position it as close as possible to the shelf.
• Carefully slide the router onto the mounting shelf so that the bottom of the chassis
and the mounting shelf overlap by approximately two inches
• Slide the router onto the mounting shelf until the mounting brackets contact the rack
rails. The shelf ensures that the holes in the mounting brackets and the front-
mounting flanges of the chassis align with the holes in the rack rails. Move the lift
away from the rack.

and into its locked, upright position to access all of the mounting holes.
Simultaneously pull the two releases labeled PULL on the cable management system.
Lift it up and outwards to lock it in place.
• Install a mounting screw into each of the open mounting holes aligned with the rack,
starting from the bottom.
• Visually inspect the alignment of the router. If the router is installed properly in the
rack all the mounting screws on one side of the rack should be aligned with the
rack,
mounting screws on the opposite side, and the router should be level.
Installing the Optional Extended Cable Manager (ECM)
Extended Cable Manager (ECM):

• Allows you to manage a large number of fiber-optic and copper cables attached to the DPCs installed in
the router.
• Is installed in the top of the MX960 chassis.
• Contains two cable routing bays, and each bay contains six cable routing channels. Each routing channel
corresponds to the DPC below it. You route the cables from a DPC through the bottom of a routing
channel and out the side of the bay. The retaining flanges on each channel keep the cables inside the
channels.
• Is used in conjunction with the standard cable manager attached to the bottom of the chassis.
Follow this procedure:

strap to one off the ESD
S points on the chassis.
• If the router is not already powered down:
• Iissue the command:
user@host> request system halt both-routing-engines
• This command shuts down the Routing Engines cleanly, so their state information is preserved. (If the router
contains only one Routing Engine, issue the request system halt command.)

• Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system
has halted.
• On an AC-powered router, switch the circuit breaker in the chassis above each power
supply to the off position (O). On a DC-powered router, switch the circuit breaker on
each power supply faceplate to the off position (OFF).

Connecting Ground and Power Cables
Depending on your configuration, the MX960 Ethernet Services Router uses either AC or DC
power supplies.
All power supplies are hot-removable
hot removable and hot-insertable.

own internal cooling system.
Routers configured with DC power supplies are shipped with a blank panel installed over
th power distribution
the di t ib ti modules.
d l RRouters
t configured
fig d with
ith AC power
supplies have no blank panel.
The router cannot be powered from AC and DC power supplies simultaneously. The first
type of power supply detected by the router when initially powered on determines the
type of power supply allowed by the router. All installed power supplies of the other type
are disabled by the router. If you install a power supply of the other type while the router
is operating, the router disables the power supply and generates an alarm.
This section details the procedure for connecting either the AC or DC power supplies to
a power source.
In the AC
C power configuration,
f the router contains three or four
f AC
C power supplies,
located vertically at the rear of the chassis in slots PEM0 through PEM3 (left to right).
Each AC power supply provides power to all components in the router. When three
power supplies are present, they share power almost equally within a fully populated
system.
Four AC power supplies provide full power redundancy. If one power supply fails or is removed,
the remaining power supplies instantly assume the entire electrical load without interruption.
Three p power supplies
pp p
provide the maximum configuration
g with full p
power for as longg as the
router is operational.
Each AC power supply has a corresponding AC appliance inlet located in the chassis directly
above the power supply. Each inlet requires a dedicated AC power feed and a dedicated 15 A
((250 VAC)) circuit breaker.
You can connect AC power to the router by attaching power cords from the AC power sources
to the AC appliance inlets on the power supply faceplates.
To connect AC power:
• Locate the AC power cord shipped with the router (you will need to provide a second
power cord for the second power supply).
• Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
The router is pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted-access location. It has a

separate protective earthing terminal (the left pair is sized for M6 bolts, and the right pair is
sized for UNC 1/4-20 ground lugs) provided on the chassis in addition to the grounding pin
of the power supply cord. This separate protective earth terminal must be permanently
connected to earth.
• Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug provided with the router to the
grounding cable.
• Ensure that the grounding cable is attached to a proper earth ground.
• Place the grounding cable lug over the grounding points on the bottom rear of the chassis.
The left pair is sized for M6 bolts, and the right pair is sized for UNC 1/4-20 bolts.

• Repeat this procedure for each AC power supply.
In the DC power configuration, the router contains either two or four DC power supplies,
located at the lower rear of the chassis in slots PEM0 through PEM3 (left to right). You
can upgrade your DC power system from two to four power supplies.
supplies The DC power
supplies in slots PEM0 and PEM2 provide power to the lower fan tray, DPC slots 6
through 11, and SCB slots 1 and 2. The DC power supplies in slots PEM1 and PEM3
provide power to the upper fan tray, DPC slots 0 through 5, and SCB slot 0.
Four power supplies provide full redundancy. If a DC power supply fails, its redundant
power supply takes over without interruption.
Each DC power supply has a single DC input (–48 VDC and return) that requires a
dedicated 80 A (–48
( 48 VDC) circuit breaker for the maximum router hardware
configuration.
You can connect DC power to the router by attaching power cables from the DC power
sources to the terminal studs on the power supply faceplates.
The Router is pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted access location. It

has a separate protective earthing terminal (M6 and UNC 1⁄4-20 ground lugs) provided
on the chassis in addition to the grounding pin of the power supply cord. This separate
protective earth terminal must be permanently connected to earth.
To connect DC power:
• Ensure that the voltage across the DC power source cable leads is 0 V, and that there is

Performing the Initial Software Configuration
The router is shipped with the Junos Internet software preinstalled and ready to be
configured when the router is powered on. There are three copies of the software: one
on a nonrotating flash drive in the Routing Engine,
Engine one on a rotating hard disk in the
Routing Engine, and one on a USB flash drive that can be inserted into the slot in the
Routing Engine faceplate.
When the router boots, it first attempts to start the image on the USB flash drive. If a
USB flash drive is not inserted into the Routing Engine or the attempt otherwise fails,
fails
the router next tries the internal flash drive, and finally the hard disk.
You configure the router by issuing Junos command-line interface (CLI)

commands, either on a console device attached to the CONSOLE port on the craft
interface, or over a telnet connection to a network connected to the ETHERNET
port on the craft interface.
Gather the following information before configuring the router:

• Name the router will use on the network
• Domain

Host Subsystem Description
The host subsystem is comprised of:

• Switch Control Board (SCB)
• Routing Engine (RE)
The host subsystem provides the routing and system management functions of the
router. You can install one or two host subsystems on the router. Each host
subsystem
y functions as a unit.
We recommend you install two host subsystems for maximum redundancy. If

you install
i t ll only
l one host

SCB0
Host subsystems are hot-pluggable.

Depending on configuration, changing host subsystem mastership might cause
the router to reboot.
The router will not forward traffic without at least one online host subsystem
The host subsystem provides control and monitoring functions for the router. These
functions include:
• Determining Routing Engine mastership
• Controlling power and reset for the other router components
• Monitoring and controlling fan speed
• Monitoring system status
Each host subsystem has three LEDs that display its status. The host

Taking a Host Subsystem Offline
• Check Routing Engine LEDs in the middle of the craft interface. If the green RE
MASTER LED is lit,
lit the corresponding host subsystem is functioning as the
master.
• Issue the following CLI command:
• user@host> show chassis routing-engine
g g
• If the host subsystem you want to take offline is currently functioning as

master, switch it to backup by issuing the CLI command:
user@host> request chassis routing-engine master switch
• For the most predictable performance, configure the two Routing Engines
identically, except for parameters unique to a Routing Engine, such as the
hostname defined at the [edit system] hierarchy level and the management
interface ((fxp0

For more information about the command, see the Junos System Basics and
Services Command Reference.
Bringing a Host Subsystem Online
A host subsystem automatically comes online when both its components (SCB
and RE) are installed and powered.
If a second host subsystem is installed in a running router, it comes online as
the backup host subsystem.
If two host subsystems are installed at system startup, the components in slots
SCB0 and RE0 normally function as the master, and the components in slots
SCB1 and RE1 normally function as the backup.
Bringing a Host Subsystem Online
You can determine the current status of a host subsystem by issuing the show

• The ejector handles have a center of rotation and need to be stored toward the center of
the board. Ensure the long ends of the ejectors located at both the top and the bottom of
the board are vertical. For an ejector located at the top of the board, press the ejector
down toward the center of the board. For an ejector located on the bottom of the board,
press the ejector up toward the center of the board.
• To insert or remove the SCB card, slide the ejector across the SCB vertically, rotate it and
slide it again another quarter of a turn. Turn the ejector again and repeat as necessary.
Utilize the indexing feature to maximize leverage and to avoid hitting any adjacent
components.
• Operate both ejector handles simultaneously. The insertion force on an SCB is too great
for one ejector.

Routing Engine Description
A Routing Engine and a Switch Control Board comprise a host subsystem.
The Routing Engine is an Intel-based PCI platform that runs the Junos Internet software.
Software processes that run on the Routing Engine:
• Maintain the routingg tables
• Manage the routing protocols
• Control the router’s interfaces
• Control some chassis components
• Provide the interface for system management and user access
Each Routing Engine weighs approximately 2.4 lb (1.1 kg).
You can install one or two Routing Engines in the router. The Routing Engines install
into the front of the chassis in vertical slots directly into the SCBs labeled 0 and 1. If
two Routing Engines are installed,
installed one functions as the master and the other acts as
the backup. If the master Routing Engine fails or is removed, and the backup is
configured appropriately, the backup takes over as the master.
A Routing Engine installed in SCB slot 2/6 is not powered, install a blank panel
instead.
The Routing Engines are hot-pluggable. Each Routing Engine must be installed directly
into an SCB. A USB port on the Routing Engine accepts a USB memory card that allows
you to load Junos software.
A Routing Engine consists of the following components:

CPU: Runs Junos Internet software to maintain the routing platform’s routing tables
and routing protocols.
protocols
DRAM: Provides storage for the routing and forwarding tables, and for the other
Routing Engine processes.
USB port: Provides a removable media interface through which you can install the
Junos Internet software manually.

routing-related activity.
The onscreen table describes the functions of the Routing Engine LEDs.
HDD LED: Indicates disk activity for the hard disk drive.
Routing Engine Interface Ports and Status Indicators
In the center of the Routing Engine are three sets of ports that connect the Routing
Engine to one or more external devices on which system administrators can issue
Junos command-line interface (CLI) commands to manage the router. These interfaces
also provide information about Routingg Engine
g status.
Each Routing Engine has one 10/100-Mbps Ethernet port for connecting to a
management network, and two asynchronous serial ports—one for connecting to a console
and one for connecting to a modem or another auxiliary device.
The ports with the indicated label in each set function as follows:
• AUX—Connects the Routing Engine to a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device
through a cable with an RJ-45 connector.
• CONSOLE—Connects the Routing Engine to a system console through a cable with an
RJ-45 connector.
ETHERNET—Connects the Routing Engine through an Ethernet connection to a

management LAN (or any other device that plugs into an Ethernet connection) for out-of-
band management.
management The port uses an autosensing RJ-45RJ 45 connector to support the 10/100
10/100-
Mbps connections. Two small LEDs on the bottom of the port indicate the connection in
use: the LED lights yellow or green for a 10-Mbps connection, and the LED lights green
when traffic is passing through the port.

Routing Engine Boot Sequence

The Routing Engine boots from the storage media in this order: the USB device, then the
internal flash disk (if present), then the hard disk, then the LAN.
Routing Engine Boot Sequence

• If the Routing Engines are configured for graceful switchover, the backup Routing Engine
automatically synchronizes its configuration and state with the master Routing Engine. Any
update to the master Routing Engine state is replicated on the backup Routing Engine. If
the backup Routing Engine assumes mastership, packet forwarding continues through the
router without interruption. For more information about graceful switchover, see the
JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.
For specific information about Routing Engine components (for example, the amount of
DRAM),) issue the show chassis routing-engine

Dense Port Concentrator Description
• The Dense Port Concentrators (DPCs) are optimized for Ethernet density and are capable of
supporting up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet or 4 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. The DPC assembly
combines packet forwarding and Ethernet interfaces on a single board,
board with four 10-Gbps
10 Gbps
Packet Forwarding Engines. Each Packet Forwarding Engine consists of one I-chip for Layer 3
processing and one Layer 2 network processor. The DPCs interface with the power supplies
and Switch Control Boards (SCBs).
• The router has 11 dedicated DPC slots. DPCs install vertically in the front of the router. The
DPCs are numbered 0 through 11 left to right. An additional slot numbered 2/6 accepts
either a DPC or an SCB.
SCB A DPC can be installed in any DPC slot on the router
router.
You can install any combination of DPC types in the router.

The router accepts the following types of DPCs:
• 40-port Gigabit Ethernet with SFP
• 4-port 10–Gigabit Ethernet with XFP
DPCs are hot-removable and hot-insertable.
• When you install a DPC in an operating router, the Routing Engine downloads the DPC
software, the DPC runs its diagnostics, and the Packet Forwarding Engines housed on the
DPC are enabled
enabled. Forwarding on other DPCs continues uninterrupted during this process
process.
• If a slot is not occupied by a DPC, a DPC blank panel must be installed to shield the empty
slot and to allow cooling air to circulate properly through the router.
• Faceplates
p on DPCs for the MX960 router are labeled with the DPC type:
yp 4x10GE or
40x1GE.
• Each DPC slot has a pair of LEDs that indicates its status. The DPC LEDs, labeled 0 through
11 and 2/6, are located along the bottom of the craft interface.
• If the DPC failed, the fail LED is a steady red. If the OK LED is blinking green, it indicates that
the DPC is starting up. If the DPC is functioning normally, the OK LED is lit steadily green.

• Do not look directly into fiber interface transceivers or into the ends of fiber-optic cables.
Laser light from transceivers can cause irreversible damage to your eyes.
Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered, except when inserting or removing

cables. A safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.
• Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its maximum bend radius. An arc smaller than a
few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to
diagnose.
• Carefully secure each disconnected cable to the cable management system below the DPC card
cage to prevent the cables from developing stress points.
• Flip the ejector handles out of their seated position by pressing up on the top ejector and down on
the bottom ejector. Simultaneously turn both the ejector handles counterclockwise to unseat the

Cooling System Description
The cooling system is comprised of:

• Two front fan trays
• A front air filter
• Both fan trays install horizontally above and below the DPC card cage. Each fan tray
contains six fans. The fan trays are interchangeable, and each weighs about 13 lb (5.9 kg).
• All fan trays and filters are hot-insertable and hot-removable.
• The host subsystem monitors the temperature of the router components. When the router
is operating normally, the fans function at lower than full speed. If a fan fails or the
ambient temperature rises above a threshold, the speed of the remaining fans is
automatically adjusted to keep the temperature within the acceptable range.
• If the ambient maximum temperature specification is exceeded and the system cannot be

• Remove an AC power supply.
• Install an AC power supply.
AC Power Supply Description
• Depending on your configuration, the MX960 Ethernet Services Router uses either AC or
DC power supplies. The MX960 router is configurable with three or four AC power supplies
or two or four DC power supplies. The power supplies connect to the midplane, which
distributes the different output voltages produced by the power supplies to the router
components, depending on their voltage requirements.
• All power supplies are hot-removable and hot-insertable. Each power supply is cooled by its
own internal cooling system
• Each power supply slot must contain either a power supply unit or a blank panel.
• The router cannot be powered from AC and DC power supplies simultaneously. The first
type of power supply detected by the router when initially powered on determines the type
of power supply allowed by the router. All installed power supplies of the other type are
disabled by the router. If you install a power supply of the other type while the router is
operating, the router disables the power supply and generates an alarm.
• In the AC ppower configuration,
g the router contains three or four AC p
power supplies,
pp located
vertically at the rear of the chassis in slots PEM0 through PEM3 (left to right).
• Four AC power supplies provide full power redundancy.

• Each AC power supply has a corresponding AC appliance inlet located in the chassis
directly above the power supply. Each requires a dedicated AC power feed and a dedicated
15A (250 VAC) circuit breaker.
• The router is pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted-access location. It has a

separate protective earthing terminal (the left pair is sized for M6 bolts, and the right pair
is sized for UNC 1/4-20 ground lugs) provided on the chassis in addition to the grounding
pin of the power supply cord. This separate protective earth terminal must be permanently
connected to earth.

DC Power Supply Description
• In the DC power configuration, the router contains either two or four DC power supplies
located at the lower rear of the chassis in slots PEM0 through PEM3 (left to right). You can
upgrade your DC power system from two to four power supplies.
• The DC power supplies in slots PEM0 and PEM2 provide power to the lower fan tray, DPC
slots 6 through 11, and SCB slots 1 and 2. The DC power supplies in slots PEM1 and
PEM3 provide power to the upper fan tray, DPC slots 0 through 5, and SCB slot 0.
• Each power supply weighs approximately 3.8 lb (1.7 kg), and is hot-insertable and hot-
removable.
• Four power supplies provide full redundancy. If a DC power supply fails, its redundant
power supply takes over without interruption.
• Each DC power supply has a single DC input (–48 VDC and return) that requires a
dedicated 80 A (–48 VDC) circuit breaker for the maximum router hardware configuration.
DC Power Supply Specifications
• DC Power Supply LEDs

• Each DC power supply faceplate contains three LEDs that indicate the status of the power
