WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes. CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or removing a cable.
Step 5: Connect Power to the MX104 Router IN THIS SECTION Connect AC Power to an AC-Powered MX104 Router | 15 Connect DC Power to a DC-Powered MX104 Router | 16 Depending on your configuration, your router uses either AC or DC power supplies. Perform the appropriate procedures for each power supply in your router.
If the LED is red or not lit, the power supply is not functioning normally. Repeat the cabling procedures. Figure 9: Connecting an AC Power Cord to an MX104 AC Power Supply Connect DC Power to a DC-Powered MX104 Router...

CAUTION: Ensure that each power cable lug seats flush against the surface of the terminal block as you are tightening the screws. Ensure that each screw is properly threaded into the terminal. Applying installation torque to the screw when improperly threaded may result in damage to the terminal. CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the terminal screws on the DC power supply is 27.4 lb-in.

Step 6: Perform Initial Software Configuration IN THIS SECTION Enter Configuration Mode | 21 Configure User Accounts and Passwords | 22 Configure System Attributes | 22 Commit the Configuration | 23 This procedure connects the router to the network but does not enable it to forward traffic. For complete information about configuring the router to forward traffic, including examples, see the Junos OS configuration guides.
Configure User Accounts and Passwords For information about using an encrypted password or an SSH public key string (DSA or RSA), see the Junos OS Administration Library. 1. Add a password to the root administration user account. Enter a clear-text password. [edit] root# set system root-authentication plain-text-password New password: password...
3. Configure the IP address and prefix length for the router’s Ethernet interface. [edit] root@# set interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet address address/prefix-length 4. Configure the IP address of a backup router, which is used only while the routing protocol is not running. [edit] root@# set system backup-router address 5.

Commit the configuration to activate it on the router. [edit] root@# commit 3. (Optional) Configure additional properties by adding the necessary configuration statements. Then commit the changes to activate them on the router.
Use an external surge protective device (SPD) at the AC input of the router. Only trained and qualified personnel should install or replace the router. Perform only the procedures described in this Quick Start or the MX104 Universal Routing Platform Hardware Guide. Other services should be performed by authorized service personnel only.
When mounting the router in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack. If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the router in the rack.
