SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW
§ Mx-Series routers run Junos, an Operating System based on
FreeBSD. The software architecture can be divided in three
parts:
− Kernel, where the software runs.
− Daemons, user processes dealing with specific functions.
− Embedded code, involved in packet forwarding on Line Modules.
The fundamental architecture of the Juniper routers is a

complete separation between the routing- and packet-
forwarding functions implemented with two independent
components:
− The routing-engine (RE).
− The Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE)

• The Routing Engine is a X86 computer where the kernel runs, it
maintains the routing table and constructs the forwarding table. It
is responsible for performing routing updates and system
management. The Routing Engine maintains peer relationships,
runs the routing protocols, builds the routing table and from that
table, and creates the forwarding table that it exports to the PFE.
• The PFE is responsible for forwarding packets through the router.

It is a high-performance, ASIC-based forwarding engine.
Embedded software serves as the glue between JUNOS and the
ASICs for the forwarding path. The PFE learns the forwarding table
from RE, copies packets from input interface to output interface
and conducts incremental table updates without forwarding
interruption.


A daemon is a Unix process running in protected virtual memory and
responsible for a particular function or area to manage. The most
important and common daemon in Junos are:
uChassis Daemon (chassisd), responsible for monitoring and managing
MPC and environmental components on the router. For instance
chassisd will be notified when a MPC/MIC is inserted/removed or
upon temperature threshold is exceeded.
uRouting Protocol Daemon (rpd), is composed in part by the routing
protocols and the kernel route table. Using the routing protocols, RPD
installs what it thinks are the best routes as active routes into the
routing table in the kernel, maintains the forwarding table, and makes
a copy of the table for the PFE. And there is more….
uDynamic Configuration Daemons (dcd), responsible for managing all
interface and configuration events, send configuration to the kernel
and notifies other registered daemons upon up/down events.

uManagement Daemon (mgd), plays important part in the commit
check phase, it is responsible for CLI validation, error reporting upon
syntax error managing user access the router.
uDHCP daemon(jdhcpd), responsible for the DHCP protocol.
uPPPoE daemon (pppoed), responsible for the PPPoE protocol.
uPPP daemon (jppd), responsible for the PPP protocol.
uL2TP daemon (l2tpd), responsible for the L2TP protocol.
uClass of Service daemon (cosd), responsible for appplying QoS
configuration to interfaces.
uFirewall daemon (dfwd), responsible for applying firewall filters and
other policers to interfaces.
uAuthentication daemon (authd), responsible for AAA services
interfacing with external radius or LDAP servers.

MX960 Description
Section Objectives
§ In this section, you will learn to

operate the host subsystem in the
Juniper Networks MX960 Ethernet
Services Router.
§ After completing this section, you
will be able to:
• Describe the host subsystem of an
MX960 Ethernet Services Router.
• Take a host subsystem offline.
• Bring a host subsystem online.
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 functions as a unit.
• We recommend you install two host subsystems for maximum redundancy.

If you install only one host subsystem, you should install it in slot 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
subsystem LEDs are located in the middle of the craft interface.
Taking a Host Subsystem Offline
• Check Routing Engine LEDs in the middle of the craft interface. If the green RE
MASTER LED is lit, the corresponding host subsystem is functioning as the
master.
• Issue the following CLI command:
user@host> show chassis routing-engine
• 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 or equivalent) defined at the [edit interfaces] hierarchy level.
For instructions, see the Junos System Basics Configuration Guide at
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/
• On the console or other management device connected to the Routing

Engine that is paired with the SCB you are removing, enter CLI operational
mode and issue the following command:
• user@host> request system halt
• Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating
system has halted.
• The SCB might continue forwarding traffic for approximately five minutes after
the request system halt command has been issued.
• 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
chassis routing-engine command at the Junos software’s command-line
interface.
• If you want to switch the host subsystem that is functioning as master, issue
the request chassis routing-engine master switch command at the Junos
software’s CLI.
Section Summary
In this section, you learned to:

• Describe the host subsystem of an
• Take a host subsystem offline.
• Bring a host subsystem online.
MX Series Router Installation
and Initial Configuration
Switch Control Board Removal and

Installation
Section Objectives

remove and install a Switch Control
Board (SCB) in the Juniper Networks
§ After completing this section, you will
be able to:
• Describe the Switch Control Board of
an MX960 Ethernet Services Router.
• Identify Switch Control Board
components.
• Identify the tools and parts required to
remove or install a Switch Control
Board.
• Remove a Switch Control Board.
• Install a Switch Control Board.
Switch Control Board Description
• A Switch Control Board and a Routing Engine comprise a host subsystem.

• The SCB powers on and powers off cards, controls clocking, resets and booting,
and monitors and controls system functions, including fan speed, board power
status, PDM status and control, and the system front panel. Integrated into the
SCB is the switch fabric, which interconnects all the MPCs within the chassis,
supporting up to 48 Packet Forwarding Engines. The Routing Engine installs
directly into the SCB.
• You can install up to three SCBs in the router. If two SCBs are installed, one
functions as the master SCB and the other as its backup. A third installed SCB
provides fabric redundancy, but no additional control or routing functions. If the
master fails or is removed, the backup restarts and becomes the master.
• The SCBs install vertically into the front of the chassis in the slots labeled 0, 1,
and 2/6
Each Switch Control Board consists of the following components:

• Two switch planes.
• Chassis management Ethernet switch.
• I2C bus logic, used for low-level communication with each component.
• Component redundancy circuitry.
• Control Board/Routing Engine mastership mechanism.
• Gigabit Ethernet switch that is connected to the embedded CPU complex on all components.
• Switch fabric—Provides the switching functions for the MPCs.
• Control FPGA—Provides the PCI interface to the Routing Engine.

• 1000Base-T Ethernet controller—Provides a 1-Gbps Ethernet link between the Routing Engines
• Ethernet switch—Provides 1–Gbps link speeds between the Routing Engine and the MPCs.
• Circuits for chassis management and control
• Power circuits for the Routing Engine and SCB
• LEDs—Three LEDs on the SCB indicate the status of the SCB. The LEDs, labeled FABRIC ACTIVE,
FABRIC ONLY, and OK/FAIL are located directly on the SCB.
Tools and Parts Required
You will need:

• An electrostatic bag or antistatic mat
• An ESD grounding wrist strap
• A number 2 Phillips screwdriver
Removing a Switch Control Board
• The SCBs are hot-pluggable. If the router contains a redundant host subsystem,
the SCB and the Routing Engine are hot-removable and hot-insertable. Before
you replace an SCB or a Routing Engine, you must take the host subsystem
offline.
• Before removing or replacing an SCB, ensure that the ejector handles are stored
vertically and pressed toward the center of the SCB.
Operating and Positioning the SCB Ejectors
• When removing or inserting an SCB, ensure that the SCBs or blank panels in adjacent
slots are fully inserted to avoid hitting them with the ejector handles. The ejector
handles require that all adjacent components be completely inserted so the ejector
handles do not hit them, which could result in damage.
• 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.
Removing an SCB
• The router can have up to three SCBs. They are located in the front of the chassis in the
slots marked 0, 1, and 2/6. With a Routing Engine installed, each SCB weighs
approximately 9.6 lb (4.4 kg).
• The SCB and Routing Engine are removed as a unit. You can also remove the
Routing Engine separately.
To remove an SCB, follow this procedure:

• Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
• Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
• Check whether the SCB is functioning as the backup or as the master. Take the host
subsystem offline. The SCB’s “offline” LED on the craft interface will light red.
• Disconnect any cables that may be connected to ports on the RE.
• Simultaneously rotate the ejector handles counterclockwise to unseat the SCB.

• Grasp the ejector handles and slide the SCB about halfway out of the chassis.
• Place one hand underneath the SCB to support it, and slide it completely out of the
chassis.
• Place the SCB in the electrostatic bag or on the antistatic mat.
• If you are not replacing the SCB now, install a blank panel over the empty slot
Installing a Switch Control Board
• Carefully align the sides of the SCB with the guides inside the chassis.
• Slide the SCB into the chassis, carefully ensuring that it is correctly aligned.
• Grasp both ejector handles and rotate them simultaneously clockwise until the SCB is
fully seated.
Installing a Switch Control Board
• To verify that the SCB is functioning normally, check the LEDs on its faceplate. The green
OK/FAIL LED should light steadily a few minutes after the SCB is installed. If the OK/FAIL
LED is red, remove and install the SCB again. If the FAIL LED still lights steadily, it
indicates that the SCB is not functioning properly. Contact your customer support
representative.
To check the status of the SCB, use the CLI command:
user@host> show chassis environment cb

Routing Engine Removal and

Installation
Section Objectives
In this section, you will learn to

remove and install a Routing
Engine (RE) in the Juniper
Networks MX960 Ethernet
Services Router.
§ After completing this section, you
will be able to:
• Describe the Routing Engine of an
• Identify Routing Engine components.
remove or install a Routing Engine.
• Remove a Routing Engine.
• Install a Routing Engine.
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 routing 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, 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.
• 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.
• Internal flash disk: Provides primary storage for software images, configuration files,
and microcode.
• Hard disk: Provides secondary storage for the log files, memory dumps, and for
rebooting the system, if the internal flash disk fails
• LEDs: Each Routing Engine has four LEDs that indicate its status. The LEDs, labeled
MASTER, HDD, ONLINE, and FAIL are located directly on the faceplate of the Routing
Engine.
• Indicate disk activity for the internal IDE interface. They do not necessarily indicate
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 Routing Engine 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. The port uses an autosensing RJ-45 connector to support the 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.
• EEPROM: Stores the serial number of the Routing Engine.

• Reset button: Reboots the Routing Engine when pressed.
• Offline button: Takes the Routing Engine offline when pressed.
• Extractor clips: Used for inserting and extracting the Routing Engine.
• Captive screws: Secure the Routing Engine in place.
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 command.
• If two Routing Engines are installed, they must both be the same hardware version.
You will need:

Removing a Routing Engine
• The Routing Engine is hot-pluggable. If the router contains a redundant host subsystem,
the Routing Engine and SCB are hot-removable and hot-insertable. Before you replace an
SCB or a Routing Engine, you must take the host subsystem offline.
• Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.

• Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD
points on the chassis.
• Check whether the Routing Engine is functioning as the backup or as the master. If
necessary, take the host subsystem offline.
• Router performance might change if the standby Routing Engine's configuration differs from the
former master's configuration. For the most predictable performance, configure the two Routing
Engines identically, except for parameters unique to a Routing Engine, such as:
• hostname defined at the [edit system] hierarchy level
• management interface (fxp0) defined at the [edit interfaces] hierarchy level.
• To configure Routing Engine-specific parameters- and still use the same configuration on both
Routing Engines, include the appropriate configuration statements under the re0 and re1
statements at the [edit groups] hierarchy level and use the apply-groups statement.
• Verify that the Routing Engine LEDs are off.

• Loosen the captive screws on the top and bottom of the Routing Engine.
• Flip the ejector handles outward to unseat the Routing Engine.
• Grasp the Routing Engine by the ejector handles, and slide it about halfway out of the chassis.
• Place one of your hands underneath the Routing Engine to support it, and slide it completely out
of the chassis.
• Place the Routing Engine in the electrostatic bag or on the antistatic mat.
• To maintain proper airflow through the chassis, do not leave an SCB installed in the
chassis without a Routing Engine for extended periods of time. If a Routing Engine is
removed, a replacement Routing Engine should be installed as soon as possible.
Installing a Routing Engine
To install a Routing Engine:

• Ensure the ejector handles are not in the locked position.
• Place one hand underneath the Routing Engine to support it. With the other hand, grasp one
of the ejector handles on the faceplate.
• Carefully align the sides of the Routing Engine with the guides inside the opening on the
SCB.
• Slide the Routing Engine into the SCB until you feel resistance, and then press faceplate of the
Routing Engine until it engages the connectors.
• Press both the ejector handles inward to seat the Routing Engine. Once it is seated, the
Routing Engine automatically comes online.
• Tighten the captive screws on the top and bottom of the Routing Engine.
• The Routing Engine might require several minutes to boot.
• After the Routing Engine boots, verify that it is installed correctly by checking the RE0
and RE1 STATUS LEDs on the craft interface.
• If the router is operational and the Routing Engine is functioning properly, the green OK LED
lights steadily.
• In case the red FAIL LED lights steadily, remove and install the Routing Engine again.
• If the red FAIL LED still lights steadily, the Routing Engine is not functioning properly. Contact
your customer support representative.
• To check the status of the Routing Engine, use the CLI command:
• user@host> show chassis routing-engine

Dense Port Concentrator Removal and

Installation
Section Objectives
§ In this section, you will learn to remove and

install a Dense Port Concentrator (or MPC)
in the Juniper Networks MX960 Ethernet
Services Router.
§ After completing this section, you will be
able to:
• Describe a MPC.
remove and install a MPC.
• Remove a MPC.
• Install a MPC.
Dense Port Concentrator Description
• The Dense Port Concentrators (MPCs) are optimized for Ethernet density and are capable of
supporting up to 40 Gigabit Ethernet or 4 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. The MPC assembly
combines packet forwarding and Ethernet interfaces on a single board, with four 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 MPCs interface with the power supplies
and Switch Control Boards (SCBs).
• The router has 11 dedicated MPC slots. MPCs install vertically in the front of the router. The
MPCs are numbered 0 through 11 left to right. An additional slot numbered 2/6 accepts
either a MPC or an SCB. A MPC can be installed in any MPC slot on the router.
You can install any combination of MPC types in the router.

The router accepts the following types of MPCs:
• 40-port Gigabit Ethernet with SFP
• 4-port 10–Gigabit Ethernet with XFP
MPCs are hot-removable and hot-insertable.
• When you install a MPC in an operating router, the Routing Engine downloads the MPC
software, the MPC runs its diagnostics, and the Packet Forwarding Engines housed on the
MPC are enabled. Forwarding on other MPCs continues uninterrupted during this process.
• If a slot is not occupied by a MPC, a MPC blank panel must be installed to shield the empty
slot and to allow cooling air to circulate properly through the router.
• Faceplates on MPCs for the MX960 router are labeled with the MPC type: 4x10GE or
40x1GE.
• Each MPC slot has a pair of LEDs that indicates its status. The MPC LEDs, labeled 0
through 11 and 2/6, are located along the bottom of the craft interface.
• If the MPC failed, the fail LED is a steady red. If the OK LED is blinking green, it indicates
that the MPC is starting up. If the MPC is functioning normally, the OK LED is lit steadily
green.
MPC Components
• Each MPC consists of the following components:
• MPC cover, which functions as a ground plane and a stiffener.
• Fabric interfaces.
• Two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that allow control information, route information, and
statistics to be sent between the Routing Engine and the CPU on the MPCs.
• Two interfaces from the SCBs that enable the boards to be powered on and controlled.
• Physical MPC connectors.

• Packet Forwarding Engines.
• Midplane connectors and power circuitry.
• Processor subsystem, which includes a 1.2-GHz CPU, system controller, and 1 GB of
SDRAM.
• Online button—Takes the MPC offline when pressed.
• LEDs on the 4–port 10–Gigabit Ethernet faceplate indicate the port status. LEDs are labeled
top to bottom 0/0 through 0/3.
• LEDs on the 40–port Gigabit Ethernet faceplate indicate the port status. LEDs are labeled
horizontally and top to bottom 0/0 through 0/5, 1/0 through 1/5, 2/0 through 2/5, and 3/0
through 3/5.
• Two LEDs, located on the craft interface above the MPC, display the status of the MPC and
are labeled OK and FAIL.
Handling and Storing MPCs
This section explains how to avoid damaging the MPCs that you install into the router.
• Many components on the MPC are fragile. Failure to handle MPCs as specified in this
course can cause irreparable damage.
• Faceplate—Edge of the MPC that has connectors into which you insert the SFP or XFP
transceivers.
• Connector edge—Edge opposite the faceplate; this edge has the connectors that attach to
the midplane.
• Top edge—Edge at the top of the MPC when it is vertical.
• Bottom edge—Edge at the bottom of the MPC when it is vertical.
You will need:

• Rubber safety caps
Removing a Dense Port Concentrator
• The router holds up to twelve MPCs, which are installed vertically in the front of the
router. The MPCs are hot-insertable and hot-removable. When you remove a MPC, the
router continues to function, although the MPC being removed no longer functions.
Before removing a MPC, make sure you have:

• A replacement MPC or an MPC blank panel
• An antistatic mat or electrostatic bag
• Rubber safety caps
• Take the MPC offline by pressing its online/offline button. Hold the button until the LED goes
out.
• Alternately, you may also take the MPC offline by issuing the following CLI command:
• user@host>request chassis fpc slot slot-number offline
• Disconnect the cables from the MPC. If the MPC uses fiber-optic cable, immediately cover
each transceiver and the end of each cable with a rubber safety cap.
• 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 MPC 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
MPC.
• Grasp the handles and slide the MPC straight out of the card cage halfway.
• Place one hand around the front of the MPC and the other hand under it to support it. Slide
the MPC completely out of the chassis, and place it on the antistatic mat or in the
electrostatic bag.
• The weight of the MPC is concentrated in the back end. Be prepared to accept
the full weight—up to 13.1 lb (5.9 kg)—as you slide the MPC out of the chassis.
• When the MPC is out of the chassis, do not hold it by the ejector handles, bus bars, or edge
connectors. They cannot support its weight.
• Do not stack MPCs on top of one another after removal. Place each one individually in an
electrostatic bag or on its own antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
• If you are not reinstalling a MPC into the emptied MPC slot within a short time, install a
blank MPC panel over the slot to maintain proper airflow in the MPC card cage.
• After removing a MPC from the chassis, wait at least 30 seconds before reinserting
it, removing a MPC from a different slot, or inserting a MPC into a different slot.
Installing a Dense Port Concentrator
• Place the MPC on an antistatic mat or remove it from its antistatic bag.
• Verify that each fiber-optic interface has a rubber safety cap covering the transceiver. If it is not
covered, cover the transceiver with a safety cap.
• Locate the slot in the MPC card cage in which you plan to install the MPC. If necessary, remove
the MPC blank plate.
• Orient the MPC so that the faceplate faces you, the text on the MPC is right-side up, and the
EMI strip is on the right-hand side.
• Lift the MPC into place and carefully align first the bottom and then the top of the MPC with
the guides inside the card cage.
• Slide the MPC all the way into the card cage until you feel resistance.
• Grasp both ejector handles and rotate them simultaneously clockwise until the MPC is fully
seated.
• If the MPC uses fiber-optic cable, remove the rubber safety cap from each transceiver and
cable, and insert the appropriate cables into the transceivers on the MPC.
• Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables.
Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a transceiver emit laser light
that can damage your eyes.
• Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place the excess
cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop, using the cable management system.
Placing fasteners on a loop helps to maintain its shape.
• Never let cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow fastened loops of cable
to dangle, because this stresses the cable at the fastening point.
• Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc smaller than
a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult
to diagnose.
• To bring the MPC online, press and hold the MPC online/offline button on the craft
interface until the green OK/FAIL LED lights steadily, which takes about 5 seconds.
• Alternately, you may also bring the MPC online by issuing the following CLI command:
• user@host>request chassis fpc slot slot-number online
• For more information about the command, see the Junos System Basics and Services
Command Reference.
• After the OK LED turns green, wait at least 30 seconds before removing the MPC
again, removing a MPC from a different slot, or inserting a MPC in a different slot.
• You can also verify that the MPC is functioning correctly by issuing the show chassis
fpc and show chassis fpc pic-status commands described in Chapter 7 of the MX960
Hardware Guide, “Maintaining Hardware Components”.

or XFP types in a single MPC.
• SFPs and XFPs are hot-insertable and hot-removable.
• When you remove an SFP or XFP, the MPC continues to function, although the SFP or
XFP you removed no longer receives or transmits data.
You will need:

• A rubber safety cap
Removing an SFP/XFP
• Keep a replacement SFP/XFP or an SFP/XFP slot plug, an antistatic mat or electrostatic

bag, and a rubber safety cap ready.
• Remove the cable connector plugged into the SFP/XFP.
Removing an SFP/XFP
• Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the end of a fiber-optic cable.
Fiber-optic transceivers contain laser light sources that can damage your eyes.
• Carefully secure the disconnected cable to the cable management system below the
MPC card cage to prevent the cable from developing stress points.
• Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc smaller than a
few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to
diagnose.
Removing an SFP/XFP
• Pull the ejector handle out from the transceiver.

Make sure that you open the ejector handle completely.
• Grasp the ejector handle and pull the SFP/XFP approximately 0.5 inches (or 1.3 cm) out
of the MPC.
• Using your fingers, grasp the body of the transceiver and pull it the rest of the way out of
the MPC.
• Close the ejector handle and place a rubber safety cap over the optical transceiver.
• Finally, place the removed transceiver on an antistatic mat or in an electrostatic bag.
Installing an SFP/XFP
• Next, take the SFP or XFP to be installed out of its electrostatic bag and identify the slot
on the MPC where it will be installed.
• Verify that each transceiver is covered by a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover the
transceiver with a safety cap.
Installing an SFP/XFP
• Carefully align the SFP or XFP with the slots in the MPC. The connectors should face the
MPC.
• Slide the SFP or XFP until the connector is seated in the MPC slot. If you are unable to
fully insert the transceiver, make sure the connector is facing the right way.

Craft Interface Description
• The craft interface allows you to view the MX960 Ethernet Services Router’s status and
troubleshooting information at a glance, and to perform many system control functions. It
weighs approximately 1.5lb (0.68 kg), is located on the front of the router above the
upper fan tray, and is hot-insertable and hot-removable.
• When the craft interface is removed, you cannot control or communicate with the router
using an external device. When you install the craft interface, allow several minutes for
the display to reflect the current state of the router.
The craft interface contains the following:

• Alarm LEDs and Alarm Cutoff/Lamp Test Button
• Power Supply LEDs
• Host Subsystem LEDs
• MPC LEDs
• SCB LEDs
• Fan LEDs

Networks MX960 Ethernet Services
Router.
be able to:
• Describe the cooling system
components.
replace fan trays.
• Remove a fan tray.
• Install a fan tray.
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 MPC 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
adequately cooled, the Routing Engine shuts down the system by disabling output power
from each PEM.
• There is a single intake in the front of the router. Air is pushed up through the MPC card
cage and through the upper fan tray, where it combines in a common exhaust plenum and
is exhausted out the upper rear of the system.
You will need:

Removing a Fan Tray
• Before removing or replacing any component, ensure you are operating the ejector
handles properly and that they are stored correctly on all router components.
Removing a Fan Tray
• Unwrap any cables on the cable management system and remove the cables from the tray.
Arrange the cables so that they do not block the front of the cable management system
and tray, and secure them with temporary fasteners so that they are not supporting their

• Describe a DC power supply.
replace a DC power supply.
• Remove a DC power supply.
• Install a DC power supply.
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, MPC
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, MPC 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
supply. See the table onscreen for descriptions of the LEDs and their status.
• The power supply status is also reflected in two LEDs on the craft interface. In addition, a
power supply failure triggers the red alarm LED on the craft interface.
You will need:

• A 3/8-in. nut driver
• Wire cutters
Removing a DC Power Supply
• Make sure that the voltage across the DC power source cable leads is 0 V.
• Do not leave a power supply slot empty for more than a short time while the router is
operational. The power supply must remain in the chassis for proper airflow; alternately,
you may install a blank panel.
• After powering off a power supply, wait at least 60 seconds before turning it back on.
• Switch the circuit breaker on the power supply faceplate to the OFF position (O).
• Remove the clear plastic cover protecting the terminal studs on the faceplate.
• Loosen the captive screw on the cable restraint on the lower edge of the power supply
faceplate. Carefully move the power cables out of the way.
• Remove the nuts and washers from the terminal studs.

• Remove the cable lugs from the terminal studs.
• While grasping the handle on the power supply faceplate with one hand, use your other
hand to pull the spring-loaded locking pin in the release lever away from the chassis and
turn the release lever counterclockwise until it stops.
• Let go of the locking pin in the release lever. Ensure that the pin is seated inside the
corresponding hole in the chassis.
• Pull the power supply straight out of the chassis.
• Put the power supply in an electrostatic bag.
• Do not touch the power connector on the top of the power supply. It can contain dangerous
voltages.
Installing a DC Power Supply
• Make sure that the voltage across the DC power source cable leads is 0 V.
• There is no standard color coding for DC power cables. The color coding used by the
external DC power source at your site determines the color coding for the leads on the
power cables that attach to the terminal studs on each power supply. You must ensure
that power connections maintain the proper polarity. The power source cables might be
labeled (+) and (–) to indicate their polarity.
• Switch the circuit breaker on the power supply faceplate to the OFF position.
• Ensure that the release lever below the empty power supply slot is locked in the
counterclockwise position.
• If necessary, pull the spring-loaded locking pin in the release lever away from the chassis
and turn the release lever counterclockwise until it stops. Let go of the locking pin in the
release lever. Ensure that the pin is seated inside the corresponding hole in the chassis.
• Using both hands, slide the power supply straight into the chassis until the power supply is
fully seated in the chassis slot. The power supply faceplate should be flush with any
adjacent power supply faceplates.
• The small tab on the metal housing that is controlled by the release lever must be inside of
the corresponding slot at the bottom of the power supply. This tab is used to pull the power
supply down in the chassis slot, prior to removing the power supply.
• While firmly pushing the handle on the power supply faceplate with one hand, use your
other hand to pull the spring-loaded locking pin in the release lever away from the chassis
and turn the release lever clockwise until it stops.
• Let go of the locking pin in the release lever. Ensure that the pin is seated inside the
corresponding hole in the chassis.
• Remove the clear plastic cover protecting the terminal studs on the faceplate.
• Loosen the captive screw on the cable restraint on the lower edge of the power supply
faceplate. Remove the cable restraint.
• Remove the nuts and washers from the RTN (return) terminal studs.
• Attach the positive (+) DC power source cable lug to the RTN (return) terminal studs.
• Secure the power cable lug to the terminal studs. Apply between 23 lb-in. (2.6 Nm) and 25
lb-in (2.8 Nm) of torque to each nut.
• Remove the nuts and washers from the -48V (input) terminal studs.
• Attach the negative (–) DC source power cable lug to the –48-V (input) terminal.
• Secure the power cable lug to the terminal studs. Apply between 23 lb-in. (2.6 Nm) and 25
lb-in (2.8 Nm) of torque to each nut.
• The DC power supplies in slots PEM0 and PEM1 must be powered by dedicated power
feeds derived from feed A, and the DC power supplies in slots PEM2 and PEM3 must be
powered by dedicated power feeds derived from feed B. This configuration provides the
commonly deployed A/B feed redundancy for the system.
• Make sure the positive and negative DC power cables run properly through the left and
right sides of the cable restraint.
• Tighten the cable restraint captive screws to hold the power cables in place. Verify that the
ground and power cabling are correct, they are not touching or blocking access to router
components, and they do not drape where people can trip on them.
• Replace the clear plastic cover over the terminal studs on the faceplate.
• Switch the circuit breaker on the power supply to the ON position and observe the status
LEDs on the power supply faceplate. If the power supply is correctly installed and
functioning normally, the PWR OK, BREAKER ON, and INPUT OK LEDs light steadily.
