Power On the MX960 Router

1. Verify that the power supplies are fully inserted in the chassis.
2. Verify that each AC power cord is securely inserted into its appliance inlet.
3. Verify that an external management device is connected to one of the Routing Engine ports (AUX,
CONSOLE, or ETHERNET).
4. Turn on the power to the external management device.
5. Switch on the dedicated customer-site circuit breakers. Follow the ESD and safety instructions for your
site.
6. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on
the chassis.
7. Move the AC input switch on the chassis above the AC power supply or the DC circuit breaker on each
DC power-supply faceplate to the off (—) position.
8. Check that the AC or the DC power supply is correctly installed and functioning normally. Verify that
the AC OK and DC OK LEDs light steadily, and the PS FAIL LED is not lit.
NOTE: 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.
If any of the status LEDs indicates that the power supply is not functioning normally, repeat the
installation and cabling procedures.
9. On the external management device connected to the Routing Engine, monitor the startup process to
verify that the system has booted properly.
