Powering Off The Mx480 Router - Juniper MX480 Hardware Manual

NOTE: After powering off a power supply, wait at least 60 seconds before turning it back
on. After powering on a power supply, wait at least 60 seconds before turning it off.
If the system is completely powered off when you power on the power supply, the Routing
Engine (or RCB) boots as the power supply completes its startup sequence. If the Routing
Engine finishes booting and you need to power off the system again, first issue the CLI
request system halt command.
After a power supply is powered on, it can take up to 60 seconds for status indicators—such
as the status LEDs on the power supply and the show chassis command display—to indicate
that the power supply is functioning normally. Ignore error indicators that appear during
the first 60 seconds.
12. On the external management device connected to the Routing Engine, monitor the startup process to
verify that the system has booted properly.

Powering Off the MX480 Router

NOTE: After powering off a power supply, wait at least 60 seconds before turning it back on.
To power off the router:
1. On the external management device connected to the Routing Engine, issue the request system halt
both-routing-engines operational mode command. The 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.)
user@host> request system halt both-routing-engines
2. Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system has halted. For more
information about the command, see the CLI Explorer.
