Juniper MX240 - UPGRADING User manual

Upgrading MX240, MX480, and MX960
3D Universal Edge Router Fan Trays and
Power Supplies
December 2010
Part Number: 530-036423
Revision 02
This document describes the necessary steps to be taken to upgrade any Juniper Networks
MX Series 3D Universal Edge Router chassis to higher capacity cooling and higher capacity
power. Step-by-step descriptions are given for replacement of the various parts in the
chassis. All of these upgrades can be performed while the system is operational, but it
is important to follow the complete process through.
NOTE: Combinations of regular-capacity and high-capacity supplies and fan
trays are not supported outside of the upgrade window.
CAUTION: The router cannot be powered from AC and DC power supplies
simultaneously. The first type of power supply detected by the router when
initially powered on determines the type of power supply allowed by the
router. All installed power supplies of the other type are disabled by the router.
If you install a power supply of the other type while the router is operating,
the router disables the power supply and generates an alarm.
NOTE: Before upgrading, the MX Series router must be running Junos OS
Release 10.0 R1 or later to support high-capacity fan trays. Junos OS Release
10.0 R2 is required to support the MX240 and MX480 AC and DC high capacity
power supplies, and the MX960 AC high- capacity power supplies. Junos OS
Release 10.2 R1 is required to support the MX960 DC high-capacity power
supplies.

The rating upgrade is needed to ensure the chassis rating is in line with the optional higher
capacity power supplies that may be installed in your MX Series router. The upgrade kit
contains the following items; they are also available as spares:
•Up to four power supplies
•Up to two fan trays
•Optional one filter tray (MX960)
•Rating label
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
Higher capacity cooling is required for some types of DPCs or MPCs, and higher capacity
power is required for a higher number of newer MPCs. Note that there are minimum
software revision requirements for the cooling and power modules. Without this minimum
software revision, these new parts are not supported and likely not detected and managed
properly.
NOTE: Before upgrading, the MX Series router must be running Junos OS
Release 10.0 R1 or later to support high-capacity fan trays. Junos OS Release
10.0 R2 is required to support the MX240 and MX480 AC and DC high capacity
power supplies, and the MX960 AC high- capacity power supplies. Junos OS
Release 10.2 R1 is required to support the MX960 DC high-capacity power
supplies.

Upgrading the MX960 Air Filter Tray
For proper cooling, it is necessary to upgrade the fan filter tray in addition to both fan
trays.
NOTE: Mixing of high-capacity fan trays and the existing fan filter tray is not
supported.
Removing the MX960 Air Filter
CAUTION: Do not run the router for more than a few minutes without the air
filter in place.
CAUTION: Always keep the air filter in place while the router is operating,
except during replacement. Because the fans are very powerful, they could
pull small bits of wire or other materials into the router through the unfiltered
air intake. This could damage the router components.
11Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
Upgrading the MX960 Air Filter Tray

To remove the air filter (see Figure 11 on page 12):
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. Unwrap any cables on the standard cable manager and remove the cables from the
tray. Arrange the cables so that they do not block the front of the cable manager and
tray, and secure them with temporary fasteners so that they are not supporting their
own weight as they hang from the connector.
NOTE: Removing the cables from the extended cable manager is not
necessary to access the air filter.
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.
3. Simultaneously pull the two releases labeled PULL on the standard cable manager.
Lift it up and outward to lock it in place to access the air filter.
4. Slide the air filter tray out of the chassis.
5. Lift the air filter out of the air filter tray.

Power Supply Zone Overview
Unlike systems with previous MX960 AC supplies, the systems with MX Series
high-capacity power supplies are zoned. No current sharing between power supplies is
needed with the upgraded system because the redundancy changes from 3+1 per system
to 1+1 per zone. For MX960 AC configurations, two zones are present. Two adjacent
power supplies need to be installed in the chassis with two feeds attached.
To upgrade an MX960 AC router, remove one existing old power supply from either slot
0 or slot 3 (either far left or far right), and replace it with a high-capacity power supply.
Attach power feeds and power up the power supply. Remember to turn on both switches
while upgrading the MX960 AC power supply, that is, the one on the power supply and
the one on the Power Distribution Module (PDU). Continue by removing an adjacent
existing power supply, and replacing it with a high-capacity power supply.
The minimum number of power supplies must be present in the router at all times.

NOTE: Junos OS Release 10.0 R2 is required to support the MX240 and
MX480 AC and DC high capacity power supplies, and the MX960 AC
high-capacity power supplies. Junos OS Release 10.2 R1 is required to support
the MX960 DC high-capacity power supplies.
NOTE: During the upgrade process, the MX Series router can simultaneously
run existing and high-capacity power supplies. However, it is recommended
to upgrade all power supplies to high-capacity power supplies.
Removing the MX240 and MX480 AC Power Supplies
NOTE: The minimum number of power supplies must be present in the router
at all times.
CAUTION: To maintain proper cooling and prevent thermal shutdown of the
operating power supply unit, each power supply slot must contain either a
power supply or a blank panel. If you remove a power supply, you must install
a replacement power supply or a blank panel shortly after the removal.
NOTE: After powering off a power supply, wait at least 60 seconds before
turning it back on.

Installing the MX240 and MX480 DC High-Capacity Power Supplies
NOTE: During the upgrade process, you can simultaneously run existing and
high-capacity power supplies. However, it is recommended to upgrade all
power supplies to high-capacity power supplies.
WARNING: Before performing DC power procedures, ensure that power is
removed from the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is off, locate the circuit
breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit
breaker to the off position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker
in the off position.
To install a DC power supply (see Figure 16 on page 21):
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. 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 DC circuit breaker on the power supply faceplate to the off (O) position.
4. Using both hands, slide the power supply straight into the chassis until the power
supply is fully seated in the chassis slot. The power supply faceplate should be flush
with any adjacent power supply faceplate or blank installed in the power supply slot.
5. Tighten the captive screws on the lower edge of the power supply faceplate.
6. Remove the clear plastic cover protecting the terminal studs on the faceplate.
7. Remove the nut and washer from each of the terminal studs.
8. Secure each power cable lug to the terminal studs, first with the flat washer, then
with the split washer, and then with the nut (see Figure 17 on page 22). 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. Secure the positive (+) DC source power cable lug to the RTN (return) terminal.
b. Secure 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.
19Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
Installing the MX240 and MX480 DC High-Capacity Power Supplies

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.
CAUTION: You must ensure that power connections maintain the proper
polarity. The power source cables might be labeled (+) and (–) to indicate
their polarity. There is no standard color coding for DC power cables. The
color coding used by the external DC power source at your site determines
the color coding for the leads on the power cables that attach to the
terminal studs on each power supply.
NOTE: The DC power supplies in PEM0 and PEM1 must be powered by
dedicated power feeds derived from feed A, and the DC power supplies
in PEM2 and PEM3 must be powered by dedicated power feeds derived
from feed B. This configuration provides the commonly deployed A/B feed
redundancy for the system.
NOTE: For information about connecting to DC power sources, see DC
Power Supply Electrical Specifications for the MX480 Router.
9. Replace the clear plastic cover over the terminal studs on the faceplate.
10. Route the power cables along the cable restraint toward the left or right corner of the
chassis. If needed to hold the power cables in place, thread plastic cable ties, which
you must provide, through the openings on the cable restraint.
11. Verify that the power cabling is correct, that the cables are not touching or blocking
access to router components, and that they do not drape where people could trip on
them.
12. Switch on the dedicated customer site circuit breakers. Follow your site's procedures
for safety and ESD.
