Installing The Routing Engine Re-S-X6-64G - Juniper MX960 Hardware Manual

Installing the Routing Engine RE-S-X6-64G

To install the new Routing Engine (RE-S-X6-64G):
1. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on
the chassis.
2. Ensure that the ejector handles are not in the locked position. If necessary, flip the ejector handles
outward.
3. Place one hand underneath the Routing Engine to support it and carefully align the sides of the Routing
Engine with the guides inside the opening on the SCBE2.
NOTE: The Routing Engine RE-S-X6-64G is supported only on the SCBE2. RE-S-X6-64G
is not compatible with the SCB or the SCBE.
4. Slide the Routing Engine into the SCBE2 until you feel resistance, and then press the Routing Engine's
faceplate until it engages the connectors.
5. Press both of the ejector handles inward to seat the Routing Engine. Tighten the captive screws on the
top and bottom of the Routing Engine.
6. Connect the management device cables to the Routing Engine. After the Routing Engine is installed,
the ONLINE LED starts blinking green slowly.
7. Verify that the SCBE2 and RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine are online by issuing the show chassis hardware
command.
8. After you install the RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine into the SCBE2, the Routing Engine gets automatically
powered on and comes up in amnesiac mode as it is loaded with factory defaults. After the Routing
Engine comes up in amnesiac mode, load the base configuration and commit.
The Routing Engine might require several minutes to boot. After the Routing Engine boots, verify that it
is installed correctly by checking the FAIL, RE0, and RE1 LEDs on the craft interface. If the router is
operational and the Routing Engine is functioning properly, the green ONLINE LED on the Routing Engine
lights steadily. If the red FAIL LED lights steadily instead, remove the Routing Engine and reinstall it. If the
red FAIL LED on the Routing Engine still lights steadily, the Routing Engine is not functioning properly.
