  • Page 3: Contents Quick Start Description

    MX960 Ethernet Services Router Hardware Guide at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/ The MX960 router is 16 rack units (RU) tall. Three routers can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of floor space. The router provides 14 slots that can be populated with up to 12 interface cards and two Switch Control Boards (SCBs) in nonredundant fabric configurations.

  • Page 4: Step 1: Prepare The Site

    MX960 Ethernet Services Router Quick Start Step 1: Prepare the Site Figure 1: Rack Clearance and Router Dimensions Rack-Mounting Requirements You can install the router in a four-post rack or cabinet or an open-frame rack. The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the router chassis's external dimensions: 27.75 in.

  • Page 5: Tools Required

    Step 1: Prepare the Site 17.37 in. (44.11 cm) wide. The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width to 19 in. (48.3 cm). The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured router, up to 350 lb (158.76 kg). If you stack three fully configured routers in one rack, it must be capable of supporting about 1,050 lb (476.3 kg).

  • Page 6: Step 2: Install The Mounting Hardware

    Install the Mounting Hardware in a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet To install the mounting shelf, follow this procedure: On the front rack rails, install cage nuts in the holes specified in the MX960 Ethernet Services Router Hardware Guide for the large shelf and the spacer bars.

  • Page 7: Install The Mounting Hardware In An Open-Frame Rack

    To install the mounting shelf, follow this procedure: On the rear of each rack rail, partially insert a mounting screw into the highest hole specified in the MX960 Ethernet Services Router Hardware Guide for the large shelf. Install the large shelf on the rack. Hang the shelf over the mounting screws using the keyhole slots located near the top of the large shelf flanges.

  • Page 8: Step 3: Install The Router

    Ensure the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure that the installation site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and maintenance. For details, see the MX960 Ethernet Services Router Hardware Guide. Load the router onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform (see Figure 4 on page 9).
  • Page 9 Step 3: Install the Router Figure 4: Load the Router onto the Lift Using the lift, position the router in front of the rack or cabinet, centering it in front of the mounting shelves. Lift the chassis approximately 0.75 in. above the surface of the mounting shelves and position it as close as possible to the shelves.

  • Page 11: Remove Components

    Do not stack removed components. Lay each one on a flat surface. NOTE: For complete instructions on removing router components, see Install the Router Without a Mechanical Lift” in the MX960 Ethernet Services Router Hardware Guide. Step 3: Install the Router...

  • Page 12: Lift The Router Into The Rack

    MX960 Ethernet Services Router Quick Start Lift the Router into the Rack Lifting the chassis and mounting it in a rack requires three people. The empty chassis weighs approximately 150 lb (60.4 kg). Ensure the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building.

  • Page 13: Reinstall Components

    Step 4: Connect External Devices and DPC Cables Reinstall Components Slide each component into the chassis evenly so that it does not become stuck or damaged. Tighten the captive screws for each component. NOTE: Make sure that all empty slots are covered with a blank panel before operating the router.

    MX960 Ethernet Services Router Quick Start Plug the other end of the cable into the network device. Connect a Management Console Turn off the power to the management device. Plug one end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the port on the CONSOLE Routing Engine.

  • Page 15: Step 5: Connect Ground And Power Cables

    Connect Power to an AC Router Locate the power cords shipped with the router, which should have a plug appropriate for your geographical location (see the MX960 Ethernet Services Router Hardware Guide). Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.

  • Page 16: Connect Power To A Dc Router

    MX960 Ethernet Services Router Quick Start Dress the power cord appropriately. Verify that the power cord does not block the air exhaust and access to router components, or drape where people could trip on it. Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 for the remaining power supplies.

  • Page 17: Step 6: Perform Initial Software Configuration

    Step 6: Perform Initial Software Configuration NOTE: For information about connecting to DC power sources, see the MX960 Ethernet Services Router Hardware Guide. Loosen the captive screw on the cable restraint on the lower edge of the power supply faceplate.
