Upgrading MX240, MX480, and MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Fan Trays and Power Supplies April 2010 Part Number: 530-035370 Revision 01 This document describes the necessary steps to be taken to upgrade any MX series chassis to higher capacity cooling and higher capacity power. Step by step descriptions are given for replacement of the various parts in the chassis.
Upgrading MX240, MX480, and MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Power Supplies and Fan Trays In this guide, three areas are addressed, and all three have to be completed before your MX Series router is fully enabled for higher capacity power and cooling. Cooling Power Rating label change...
Fan Tray Upgrade Overview Fan Tray Upgrade Overview The MX Series high-capacity fan trays satisfy cooling requirements for high-density DPCs and MPCs, and must be upgraded for proper cooling (see Figure 1 on page 3, Figure 2 on page 3, and Figure 3 on page 4). Additionally, for the MX960 router, you must upgrade both fan trays and the filter tray.
