MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Quick Start

MX960 Quick Start Description
This Quick Start contains information you need to install and configure the router quickly.
For complete installation instructions, see the MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Hardware
Guide at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.
WARNING: This Quick Start contains a summary of safety warnings in “Safety
Warnings” on page 29. For a complete list of warnings for this router, including
translations, see the MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Hardware Guide at
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.
The MX960 3D Universal Edge Router with the standard cable manager is 16 rack units
(U) tall, or 21 U with the extended cable manager. Three routers with the standard cable
manager, or two routers with the extended cable manager, can be stacked in a single
floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of floor space.
The router provides 14 slots that can be populated with up to 12 Dense Port Concentrators
(DPCs) or Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs), six Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs),
and two Switch Control Boards (SCBs) in nonredundant fabric configurations.
Several types of DPCs are available. Each DPC includes either two or four Packet
Forwarding Engines. Each Packet Forwarding Engine enables a throughput of 10 Gbps.
Up to two PICs can be installed in each FPC. Fully populated, the MX960 router supports
up to 12 PICs.
Up to two Modular Interface Cards (MICs) can be installed in each MPC. Fully populated,
the MX960 router supports up to 24 MICs.
For a list of the supported DPCs, FPCs, MPCs, MICs, and PICs, see the MX Series Interface
Module Reference.
The router is shipped in a cardboard box strapped securely to a wooden pallet. Plastic
straps secure the top and bottom in place. The router chassis is bolted to this pallet.
Quick Start installation instructions and a cardboard accessory box are also included in
the shipping container.

MX960 Quick Start Description

Step 1: Prepare the Site for MX960 Installation
•Rack-Mounting Requirements on page 4
•Tools Required to Unpack and Prepare the MX960 Router for Installation on page 5
Rack-Mounting Requirements
•You can install the router in a four-post rack or cabinet or an open-frame rack.
•The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the router chassis's
external dimensions: 27.75 in. (70.49 cm) high, 23.0 in. (58.42 cm) deep, and
17.37 in. (44.11 cm) wide. The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width
to 19 in. (48.3 cm).
•The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured router,
up to 350 lb (158.76 kg). If you stack three fully configured routers in one rack, it must
be capable of supporting about 1,050 lb (476.3 kg).
•For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be
adequate space at the front and back of the router. Allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in
front of the router and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the router.
•The rack or cabinet must have an adequate supply of cooling air.
•Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit from the cabinet
without recirculating into the router.
•The router must be installed into a rack that is secured to the building structure.
•Mount the router at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
•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.

Tools Required to Unpack and Prepare the MX960 Router for Installation
To unpack the router and prepare for installation, you need the following tools:
•A mechanical lift—recommended
•Phillips (+) screwdrivers, numbers 1 and 2
•2.5 mm flat-blade (–) screwdriver
•7/16-in. (11 mm) torque-controlled driver or socket wrench
•1/2-in. or 13-mm open-end or socket wrench to remove bracket bolts from the shipping
pallet
•Electrostatic discharge wrist strap
•Antistatic mat

Step 2: Install the Mounting Hardware
•Install the Mounting Hardware in a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet on page 6
•Install the Mounting Hardware in an Open-Frame Rack on page 7
Install the Mounting Hardware in a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet
1. On the front rack rails, install cage nuts in the holes specified in the MX960 3D Universal
Edge Router Hardware Guide for the large shelf and the spacer bars.
2. On the front of each front rack rail, partially insert a mounting screw into the hole
containing the lowest cage nut.
3. Install the large shelf on the front rack rails. Rest the bottom slot of each ear on a
mounting screw.
4. Partially insert a mounting screw into the top hole in each ear of the large shelf.
5. Tighten all the screws completely.
6. On the rear rack rails, install cage nuts in the holes specified in the MX960 3D Universal
Edge Router Hardware Guide for the small shelf.
7. On the back of each rear rack rail, partially insert a mounting screw into the hole
containing the lowest cage nut.
8. Install the small shelf on the back rack rails. Rest the bottom slot of each ear on a
mounting screw. The small shelf installs on the back of the rear rails, extending toward
the center of the rack. The bottom of the small shelf should align with the bottom of
the large shelf.
9. Partially insert screws into the open holes in the ears of the small shelf.
10. Tighten all the screws completely.

1. On the rear of each rack rail, partially insert a mounting screw into the highest hole
specified in the MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Hardware Guide for the large shelf.
2. Install the large shelf on the rack. Hang the shelf over the mounting screws using the
keyhole slots located near the top of the large shelf flanges.
3. Partially insert screws into the open holes in the ears of the large shelf.
4. Tighten all the screws completely.

Step 3: Install the Router

Before installing the router, you must remove the following components:
•Power supplies
•Switch Control Boards (SCBs)
•Cable management system
•Routing Engines
•Air filter
•Fan trays
•Line cards:
•Dense Port Concentrators (DPCs)
•Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs)
•Physical Interface Cards (PICs)
•Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs)
•Modular Interface Cards (MICs)
To remove the components from the router:
1. Slide each component out of the chassis evenly so that it does not become stuck or
damaged.
2. Label each component as you remove it so you can reinstall it in the correct location.
3. Immediately store each removed component in an electrostatic bag.
4. Do not stack removed components. Lay each one on a flat surface.
NOTE: For complete instructions on removing router components, see the
MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Hardware Guide.
Install the Router Using a Lift
Before installing the router, you must remove all components (see “Remove Components”
on page 9). To install the router using a lift:
1. Ensure that the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure
that the installation site allows adequate clearance for both airflow and maintenance.
For details, see the MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Hardware Guide.
2. Load the router onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform (see
Figure 6 on page 11).
