Introduction
To support higher capacity and port density, the next-generation fabric chip card, as known as Switch
Control Board (SCBE2), is introduced for current Juniper MX960 chassis. SCBE2 can support a bandwidth
of up to 340 Gbps per slot with redundant fabric support and 480 Gbps per slot without redundancy.
The detail description can be found on Juniper support document as:
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/release-independent/junos/topics/concept/scbe2-mx960-
desc.html

Scope
The scope of this document is to define the upgrade procedure from current SCBE to SCBE2 card over
Juniper MX960 chassis.
