3. Using the lift, position the router in front of the rack or cabinet, centering it in
front of the mounting shelves.
12 ■Step 3: Install the Router
IBM Ethernet Router J11M Quick Start

4. Lift the chassis approximately 0.75 in. above the surface of the mounting shelves
and position it as close as possible to the shelves.
5. Carefully slide the router onto the mounting shelves so that the bottom of the
chassis and the mounting shelves overlap by approximately 2 inches.
6. Slide the router onto the mounting shelves until the mounting brackets or
front-mounting flanges contact the rack rails. The shelves ensure that the holes
in the mounting brackets and the front-mounting flanges of the chassis align
with the holes in the rack rails.
7. Move the lift away from the rack.
8. To install the router in an open-frame rack, install a mounting screw into each
of the open mounting holes aligned with the rack, starting from the bottom.
9. Visually inspect the alignment of the router. If the router is installed properly in
the rack, all the mounting screws on one side of the rack should be aligned with
the mounting screws on the opposite side and the router should be level.
Reinstall Components
1. Slide each component into the chassis evenly so that it does not become stuck
or damaged.
2. Tighten the captive screws for each component.
NOTE: Make sure that all empty slots are covered with a blank panel before operating
the router.
Step 4: Connect External Devices and DPC or PIC Cables
To connect external devices and DPC or PIC cables:
■Connect to a Network for Out-of-Band Management on page 14
■Connect a Management Console on page 14
■Connect the DPC or PIC Cables on page 14
Step 4: Connect External Devices and DPC or PIC Cables ■13
Step 4: Connect External Devices and DPC or PIC Cables

Figure 7: Connect External Devices and DPC Cables
Connect to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
1. Turn off the power to the management device.
2. Plug one end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the ETHERNET port on the Routing
Engine.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.
Connect a Management Console
1. Turn off the power to the management device.
2. Plug one end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the CONSOLE or AUX port on the
Routing Engine.
3. Plug the female DB-9 end into the device's serial port.
Connect the DPC or PIC Cables
1. Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the DPC or PIC. For cable
specifications, see the IBM j-type m-series Ethernet routers DPC Guide or IBM j-type
m-series Ethernet routers PIC Guide.
2. If the cable connector port is covered by a rubber safety plug, remove the plug.
14 ■Step 4: Connect External Devices and DPC or PIC Cables
IBM Ethernet Router J11M Quick Start

DANGER:Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable 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 cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposure to laser light.
3. Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the faceplate.
4. Arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent it from dislodging
or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own
weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly
coiled loop in the cable management system. Placing fasteners on the loop helps
to maintain its shape.
CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems
that are difficult to diagnose.
CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.
Step 5: Connect Ground and Power Cables
Depending on your configuration, your router uses either AC or DC power supplies.
Perform the appropriate procedures for each power supply in your router.
■Connect Grounding Cable on page 15
■Connect Power to an AC Router on page 16
■Connect Power to a DC Router on page 16
Connect Grounding Cable
1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and
connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
3. Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug provided with the
router to the grounding cable.
4. Make sure that grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright finish before
grounding connections are made.
Step 5: Connect Ground and Power Cables ■15
Step 5: Connect Ground and Power Cables

5. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and
connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
6. Place the grounding cable lug over the grounding points. The left pair is sized
for M6 bolts, and the right pair is sized for UNC 1/4-20 bolts.
7. Secure the grounding cable lug to the grounding points, first with the washers,
then with the screws.
8. Verify that the grounding cabling is correct, that the grounding cable does not
touch or block access to router components, and that it does not drape where
people could trip on it.
Connect Power to an AC Router
1. Locate the power cords shipped with the router, which should have a plug
appropriate for your geographical location (see the IBM Ethernet Router J11M
Hardware Guide).
2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and
connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
3. Move the power switch on the power supply faceplate to the standby position.
4. Insert the appliance coupler end of the power cord into the appliance inlet on
the power supply.
5. Insert the power cord plug into an external AC power source receptacle.
NOTE: Each power supply must be connected to a dedicated AC power feed and a
dedicated customer site circuit breaker. We recommend that you use a 15 A (250 VAC)
minimum, or as permitted by local code.
6. 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.
7. Repeat Step 1 through Step 6 for the remaining power supplies.
Connect Power to a DC Router
Table 1: J11M DC Power System Input Voltage
SpecificationItem
Operating range: –40 to –72 VDCDC input voltage
16 ■Step 5: Connect Ground and Power Cables
IBM Ethernet Router J11M Quick Start

Figure 8: Connect DC Grounding and DC Power Cables
1. Ensure that the voltage across the DC power source cable leads is 0 V and that
there is no chance that the cable leads might become active during installation.
2. Secure the power cable lugs to the terminal studs, first with the split washer,
then with the nut. Apply between 23 lb-in. (2.6 Nm) and 25 lb-in. (2.8 Nm) of
torque to each nut. Do not overtighten the nut. (Use a 7/16-in. [11 mm]
torque-controlled driver or socket wrench.)
a. Attach the positive (+) DC source power cable lug to the RTN (return)
terminal.
b. Attach the negative (–) DC source power cable lug to the –48V (input)
terminal.
CAUTION: Ensure that each power cable lug seats flush against the surface of the
terminal block as you are tightening the nuts. Ensure that each nut is properly
threaded onto the terminal stud. The nut should be able to spin freely with your
fingers when it is first placed onto the terminal stud. Applying installation torque to
the nut when improperly threaded may result in damage to the terminal stud.
CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the terminal studs on the DC power supply
is 36 lb-in. (4.0 Nm). The terminal studs may be damaged if excessive torque is
applied. Use only a torque-controlled driver or socket wrench to tighten nuts on the
DC power supply terminal studs.
Step 5: Connect Ground and Power Cables ■17
Step 5: Connect Ground and Power Cables

NOTE: For information about connecting to DC power sources, see the IBM Ethernet
Router J11M Hardware Guide.
3. Loosen the captive screw on the cable restraint on the lower edge of the power
supply faceplate.
4. Connect each DC power cable to the appropriate external DC power source.
NOTE: For information about connecting to external DC power sources, see the IBM
Ethernet Router J11M Hardware Guide.
5. Switch on the external circuit breakers to provide voltage to the DC power source
cable leads.
Step 6: Perform Initial Software Configuration
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 software configuration guides.
To configure the software:
1. Turn the circuit breaker or toggle switch for each power supply to the on position
to boot the router. The OK LED on the power supply faceplate should blink, then
light steadily.
2. Log in as the “root”user. There is no password.
3. Start the CLI.
