Overview
ERX routers are modular, carrier-class networking devices that deliver performance,
reliability, and service differentiation to both business and consumer Internet users. The
ERX7xx and ERX14xx models offer high port density, low power consumption, and fully
redundant Internet access routing and edge aggregation. The Juniper Networks ERX310
Broadband Services Router supports the same services, but with smaller capacity and
scaling capabilities. ERX routers offer the complete edge solution for IP-optimized carriers.
NOTE: In the E Series documentation, the term ERX14xx models refers to
both the ERX1440 and ERX1410 routers. The terms ERX1440 and ERX1410
routers refer to the specific models. See Figure 1 on page 5 and Figure 2 on
page 5.
The ERX1440 router manages an extremely high volume of network traffic, and uses a
40-Gbps switch route processor (SRP) module, either the SRP-40G or SRP-40G+
module.(The SRP-40G+moduleobsoletesthe SRP-40G module;however, thesoftware
continues to support both modules.) In this model, all line modules operate at full wire
speed simultaneously.
The ERX1410 router manages high levels of network traffic, and uses the 10-Gbps SRP
module (SRP-10G). You can configure the ERX1410 router to enable the line modules
either to operate at full line rate performance or to allow line modules to operate at a
rate dependent on the resources available. The former option restricts the allowed
combinationsof linemodules.For information on configuringperformanceof linemodules,
see JunosE System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules.
NOTE: The 10-Gbps SRP module used in the ERX310 router is different from
the 10-Gbps SRP module used in the ERX1410 router. See “SRP Module” on
page 9 for more information.
Externally, the ERX1440 chassis is the same as the ERX1410 chassis. (See Figure 1 on
page 5 and Figure 2 on page 5.) Both routers contain 14 vertical slots to accommodate
modules.
Internally, the ERX1440 chassis differs from the ERX1410 chassis, and includes a special
midplane for the 40-Gbps SRP module.
Installation procedures and operating procedures are identical for both systems. All
ERX7xx and ERX14xx models use the same SRP I/O module, but different power input
modules are used.
NOTE: The router may look different from the routers shown in the figures
in this chapter, depending on the line modules in the slots.
NOTE: In the E Series documentation,the term ERX7xx models refers to both
the ERX705 and ERX710 routers.The terms ERX705 and ERX710 routers refer
to the specific models. See Figure 3 on page 6 and Figure 4 on page 7.
The ERX7xx models are robust, high-density routers with less capacity than the ERX14xx
models. The ERX7xx models use either the SRP-10G module or the SRP-5G module.
You can configure the ERX7xx models to enable the line modules (LM) to operate either
at full line rate performance or at a rate dependent on the resources available. For
information about configuring performance of line modules, see JunosE System BasicsConfiguration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules.
NOTE: The 10-Gbps SRP module used in the ERX310 router is different from
the 10-Gbps SRP module used in the ERX710 router. See “SRP Module” on
page 9 for more information.
The ERX705 chassis is the same as the ERX710 chassis. (See Figure 3 on page 6 and
Figure 4 on page 7.) The chassis contains seven slots to accommodate modules.
Installation procedures and operating procedures are identical for both systems. All
ERX7xx and ERX14xx models use the same SRP I/O module, but different power input
modules are used.
NOTE: The router may look different from the routers shown in the figures
in this chapter, depending on the line modules in the slots.
The ERX310 router is a low-end platform that supports all of the same services as the
ERX7xx and ERX14xx models, but with smaller capacity and scaling capabilities. Like the
ERX7xx and ERX14xx models, the ERX310 router uses the same software architecture,
providing a single IP entry point into the network with the same IP-based protocols and
services that are available on other ERX routers. The ERX310 router is designed to be
used as a small distributed POP router as well as a high-end CPE router.
Chapter 1: ERX Overview
The ERX310 routeris athree-slot chassis witha midplane architecture.One slot supports
one nonredundant10-Gbps SRPmodule, while the other twoslots support line modules.
The router supportsexisting E Series ASIC-based line modules(except theOC48/STM16
line module), as well as a select number of combination cards. The combination cards
provide a fixed combination of interfaces on the I/O module so that a single slot can
support multiple interfaces (ATM OC3 and GE, for example).
NOTE: The 10-Gbps SRP module used in the ERX310 router is different from
the 10-Gbps SRP module used in the ERX7xx and ERX14xx models. See “SRP
Module” on page 9 for more information.
The ERX310 router is available in either redundant AC- or DC-powered models.
Each system supports an SRP module and a selection of line modules. You can use any
line module for access or uplink. Access line modules receive traffic from low-speed
circuits, and thesystem routes the traffic onto higher-speed uplinkline modules andthen
to the core of the network.
Each module connects to a correspondingI/O module via a passive midplane. See Figure
8 on page 9.
The front panel of each module contains a collection of status LEDs (light-emitting
diodes). For information about how to interpret the LEDs, see “Troubleshooting” on
page 95.
Figure 8: Modules in ERX14xx Models
SRP Module
Switch route processor (SRP) modules perform system management, routing table
calculations and maintenance, forwarding table computations, statistics processing,
configuration storage, and other control plane functions. Each SRP module is a
NOTE: Some line modules require a minimum amount of memory to be used
with JunosE Release5.3.0or a higher-numbered release. See the ERX ModuleGuide for line module specifications.
ERX7xx and ERX14xx models use up to two redundant SRP modules operating in an
active/standby configuration. ERX310 router use only one SRP module. An SRP module
must be present for any system to boot.
SRP modules ranging from 5 Gbps to 40 Gbps can be used in ERX7xx and ERX14xx
models. Only a 10-Gbps SRP module (SRP-SE10G) can be used in ERX310 router. See
the ERX Module Guide for complete information.
NOTE: Because of different physical dimensions and switch fabric capabilities,
SRP modules are not interchangeable between systems. For example, the
10-Gbps SRP module used in ERX7xx and ERX14xx models cannot be used
in the ERX310 router, and vice versa.
CAUTION: Do not remove the SRP module while the system is running.
NOTE: SomeSRP modules require a minimum amount of memory to be used
with JunosE Release5.3.0or a higher-numbered release. See the ERX Module
Guide for module specifications.
For details about installing SRP modules, see “Installing Modules” on page 31.
SRP Module Redundancy
SRP module redundancy is available only for ERX7xx and ERX14xx models. See
“Redundancy Features” on page 14
Nonvolatile Storage
The PCMCIA slot on the front of the SRP module holds a Type II PCMCIA nonvolatile
storage (NVS) card. (See Figure 9 on page 10 and Figure 10 on page 11.) This card is
loaded with the system's software and configuration files. The PCMCIA card is factory
installed.
CAUTION: Although you can remove PCMCIA NVS (Flash) cards from a
running router, we recommend that you do not do so. If you remove the card
while data is being written to or copied from the NVS card, data can be lost
or corrupted. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you shut down the
router before removing a PCMCIA NVS card.
SRP I/O Module
The SRP I/O module is a single corresponding input/output module that interfaces with
the SRP modules through the system's midplane. The same SRP I/O module works with
all SRP modules, but is router specific. The I/O module used in ERX7xx and ERX14xx
models cannot be used in the ERX310 router, and vice versa. See Figure 2 on page 5,
Figure 4 on page 7, and Figure 6 on page 8 for locations.
Module Details
The SRP I/O module provides standard craft management interfaces, including:
•
10/100Base-T—The port enables access to the ERX router for Ethernet management
functions via CLI or SNMP, for example.
•
RS-232—The port provides a serial connection for monitoring the system's hardware
configuration through a PC (running terminal emulation software) or ASCII terminal.
Allows direct CLI access.
•
Alarm contacts—The contacts provide for remote indication of critical, major, and
minor router alarms (ERX7xx and ERX14xx models only; currently not implemented)
•
External timing inputs—The inputs provide a method of ensuring that the clock timing
used by the router remains synchronized with the network's system clock. BNC
connectors and wire wraps are available for ERX7xx and ERX14xx models only.
For details about installing the SRP I/O module, see “Installing Modules” on page 31.
Line Modules
Line modules (LM) process data from different types of network connections. For
information about available line modules and which SRP modules support specific line
modules, see the ERX Module Guide.
Figure 11 on page 13 shows a representative line module. For details about installing line
modules, see “Installing Modules” on page 31.
Figure 11: Representative Line Module
Packet Classification
Most linemodules support packetclassification on ingress;some non-ASICline modules
do not. A classification engine on theline modulematches specific fields (such as source
and destination IP address, source and destination port, and protocol), the ingress IP
interface, layer 2 fields, or some combination of these against user-configured filters at
wire speed.
I/O Modules
Most line modules have a corresponding input/output (I/O) module that provides the
physical interconnection to the network. Insert each I/O module into the back of the
system, directly behind its corresponding line module.
For information about which line modules pair with which I/O modules, see the ERXModule Guide. See Figure 2 on page 5, Figure 4 on page 7, and Figure 6 on page 8 for
locations. For details about installing I/O modules, see “Installing Modules” on page 31.
Network Management Tools
You can use different management tools to configure the system to meet the specific
networking requirements.
The CLI provides fully developed and automated configuration and status functionality
through a localRS-232 port, Telnet, orSSH via any reachablenetwork. For a full discussion
of the CLI, see JunosE System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, Command-LineInterface.
SNMP MIB Management
The system offers a complete SNMP interface for configuration, status, and alarm
reporting. The system supports both Standard and Enterprise MIBs (Management
Information Bases). The Juniper Networks E Series Enterprise MIB is ASN.1 notated for
easy importing into third-party SNMP management applications. For more information,
see JunosE System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 4, Configuring SNMP.
NMC-RX Device Management System
The NMC-RX application provides a global methodof managing allrouters,line modules,
and ports through a graphical user interface.
Redundancy Features
This section describes system redundancy features.
SRP Modules
ERX7xx and ERX14xx models use a 1:1 redundancy scheme for the SRP module. When
two SRP modules of the same type are installed in the chassis, one acts as a primary
(active) and the second as a redundant (standby) module. Both SRP modules share a
single SRP I/O module located in the rear of the chassis.
If the standby SRP module detects that the primary SRP module is not active (and
high-availability mode is not enabled), it reboots the system and takes control. If
high-availability mode has been enabled, automatic switchover occurs with near hitless
failover. If you upgrade software, you must copy the software to the redundant SRP and
reboot it. For information about configuring and managing SRP module redundancy, see
JunosE System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules.
After you install two SRP modules, the modules negotiate for the primary role.A number
of factors determine which module becomes the primary; however, preference is given
to the module in the lower-numbered slot. The SRP modules record their latest roles
and retain them the next time you switch on the system. For information about installing
SRP modules, see “Installing Modules” on page 31.
NOTE: This section applies to ERX7xx and ERX14xx models only. ERX310
routers contain one SRP module and therefore do not offer SRP module
redundancy.
If you have two SRP modules installed in a system, you can use NVS cards of different
capacities on the SRP modules. The effective capacity of the higher-capacity NVS card
will equal that of the lower-capacity NVS card. For information about installing NVS
cards, see “Installing Modules” on page 31.
When you install new NVS cards or SRP modules, you must issue the synchronize
command to match the file system of the NVS card on the redundant SRP module with
the file system of the NVS card on the primary SRP module. (The NVS card on the
redundant SRP module will hereafter be referred to as the redundant NVS card; the NVS
card on the primary SRP module will hereafter be referred to as the primary NVS card.)
If the capacity of the primary NVS card is equal to or smaller than that of the redundant
NVS card, the system copies all the files from the primary NVS card to the redundant
NVScard.However, if the capacityof the primary NVS card exceeds that ofthe redundant
NVS card, the system createsan invisible synchronization reserve fileon the primaryNVS
card, provided that there is enough space for the file.
Line Modules
The purpose of the synchronization file is to prevent the creation of data that cannot fit
on the redundant NVS card. The file contains no useful data, and is not visible when you
view the files in NVS. The size of the file is equal to the difference in capacities of the two
NVS cards. For example, if the primary NVS card has a capacity of 224 MB and the
redundant NVS card has a capacity of220 MB, the size of the synchronization file is4 MB,
and only 220 MB of space is available on the primary NVS card.
If theprimaryNVScarddoes nothaveenoughspace to createthe synchronization reserve
file, thesynchronize command fails, anda warning message isdisplayed on the console.
To resolve this issue, either delete unwanted files from the primary NVS card or replace
the redundant NVS card with a higher-capacity NVS card.
NOTE: This section applies to ERX7xx and ERX14xx models only. ERX310
routers do not offer line module redundancy.
ERX7xx and ERX14xx models support line module redundancy for several line modules.
For details about which line modules support redundancy, see the ERX Module Guide. In
this scheme,an extra line module ina group ofidentical line modulesprovidesredundancy
in case of line module failure. To use this feature, you need a:
•
Spare line module
•
Redundancy midplane
•
Redundancy I/O module
A redundancy midplane can cover 3–6 slots. It provides additional connectivity that
enables the spare line module to take control of the I/O module associated with any
failed line module in the redundancy group. The spare I/O module provides connectivity
from the spare line module to the redundancy midplane.
Protocol processing then takes place on the spare line module.
Figure 12 on page 16 shows the data flow when a spare line module becomes active.
Figure 12: Data Flow When a Spare Line Module Is Active
For information about installing modules for line module redundancy, see “Installing
Modules” on page 31. For information about configuring and managing SRP module
redundancy, see JunosESystem Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules.
Power
All E Series routers provide a power architecture that distributes redundant –48 VDC
feeds through the router to each line module, SRP module, and fan module where
DC-to-DC converters provide local conversion to the required secondary voltages.
The ERX310 routeris availablewith eitherDC orACpower inputs. TheAC-powered version
can beconfigured withone ortwohot-swappablepowersupplies for optionalredundancy.
(See Figure 5 on page 8 and Figure 6 on page 8.) The power supplies convert AC power
to internal –48 V redundant DC feeds that are then distributed through the router.
Forcedair-cooling keeps the temperature ofthe ESeries modules andcomponentswithin
normal operating limits. In ERX14xx models, six cooling fans are located in a tray at the
top of the router (Figure 1 on page 5). In ERX7xx models, four cooling fans are located
in a tray on one side of the router (Figure 3 on page 6). In the ERX310 router, two cooling
fans are located in a tray on one side of the router (Figure 5 on page 8).
The system monitors the temperature of each module. If the temperature of a module
exceeds the maximum limit, the system immediately goes into thermal protection mode
and the modules are powered off. The ERX system controller enters a low power mode,
keeps the modules in a power-off condition, and does not respond to any management
interfacecommands.For information about troubleshooting high operating temperatures,
see “Troubleshooting” on page 95.
In ERX7xx and ERX14xx models, the fan tray has two redundant converters that power
the fans (for the ERX14xx models, a –24 V, 50 W converter; for the ERX7xx models, a
–12 V, 15 W converter). If one converter fails, the other takes over. The ERX310 router
does not have redundant converters.
For all E Series routers, the system software reports an alarm if any of the fans or
converters fail.

Before You Begin on page 25
•
Freestanding Installation on page 25
•
Rack-Mounted Installation on page 26
•
The Next Step on page 29
Before You Begin
Before installing E Series routers, be sure you:
•
Have a plan for installing the routers that takes into consideration future expansion of
your system.
•
Have the tools and accessories needed to complete the installation.
•
Read and understand the clearance requirements for the front and back of the chassis
for cable routing and other unit access. See “Environmental Requirements” on page 117
for more information.
•
Read and understand the clearance requirements for the chassis to ensure adequate
ventilation.
•
Prepare the equipment racks by measuring and marking space for each router and
plenum you plan to install.
Freestanding Installation
When installing the system on a table top or in any other freestanding mode, be sure to
leave enough space around the system for adequate ventilation. Position the router with
easyaccessto the connectionsthat it needsfor power,localcommunications,and remote
communications.
See “Installation Guidelines andRequirements”on page 117, and “System Specifications”
on page 109, for more information.
WARNING: Two people are required to lift an E Series router.
CAUTION: To prevent electrostatic damage to the system and its
components,make sure persons handling the router wear an antistatic device.
Connectorsare located on the I/O modules and thepower inputmodule. These modules
are installed from the rear of the router. (See Figure 14 on page 26.) See “Cabling ERX
Routers” on page 47 for cabling installation procedures.
Figure 14: ERX7xx Models, Rear View
Rack-Mounted Installation
We recommend that you use a standard EIA distribution rack. See “Equipment Rack
Requirements” on page 121 for detailed rack information.
Installation Guidelines
Before installing the systems in a rack, consider the following guidelines and refer to
Figure 15 on page 27:
•
You can install up to 3 ERX14xx models, 6 ERX7xx models, or 14 ERX310 routers in a
single 7-ft. (2.1 m) rack.
Installing multiple systems in a single rack enables you to maximize your available
space.
•
You can install an ERX14xx model, an ERX7xx model, and an ERX310 router together
in the same rack. (See Figure 15 on page 27.)
CAUTION: If you install an ERX7xx model or ERX310 router directly above
an ERX14xx model in the same rack, you must install a plenum between
the ERX7xx model or ERX310 router and the ERX14xx model so that the air
can circulatebetweenthesystems.(See Figure 53 on page 124.) This plenum
is available from Juniper Networks.
If you install an ERX14xx model above an ERX7xx model or ERX310 router, there is no
need to install a plenum between the units because the ERX7xx models and ERX310
routers vent air out the side of the chassis.
•
Install heavier systems, such as an ERX14xx model, on the bottom of the rack. Mount
lighter systems, such as the ERX310 router, higher in the rack.
Figure 15: ERX Routers Installed in Recommended Order
Safety Guidelines
Observe the following safety guidelines when mounting the router in a rack.
WARNING: Install equipment in the rack from the bottom upward.This helps
to maintain the stability of the rack and reduces the chance of the rack tipping
over.
WARNING: Three people are required to install the router in a rack: two to
lift the system into position and one to screw it to the rack.
WARNING: Connect the router or rack to ground (earth), and ensure that a
reliable grounding path is maintained in the rack.
WARNING: Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cablesduring
lightning activity.
WARNING: Be sure circuit breakers for the power source are in the OFF
position before attaching power cables.
Preparing the Equipment Racks
Following your installation plan, use a tape measure and marking pen to measure and
mark space on each equipment rack for each router component. For horizontal spacing,
follow Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements. If you choose not to
install a plenum,be sure to include 2U ofspace between each chassis for proper exhaust.
A plenum, however, is highly recommended.
WARNING: Before servicing the router, turn off the power.
working on equipment that is connected to power lines. Metal objects heat
up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or
become welded to the terminals.
WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, into an
open slot or the backplane. Doing so can cause electric shock and serious
burns.
WARNING: The ERX310 router AC model has more than one power-supply
cord. Disconnect two power cords before servicing to avoid electric shock.

Overview
Line module slots are located in the front of each ERX chassis, while I/O module slots
are located in the rear. See “ERX Overview” on page 3 for front and rear views of ERX
routers.
In ERX14xxmodels, modules mountverticallyin achassis with 14 slots. InERX7xx models
and ERX310 Broadband Services Routers, modules mount horizontally in a chassis with
7 slots and 3 slots, respectively. See Figure 16 on page 32.
Figure 16: Orientation of Line Modules in ERX Routers
For details about available line modules and compatibility between line modules and
SRP modules, see the ERX Module Guide.
Slot Groups
The slots in the ERX1410 router and ERX7xx models are divided into groups. The number
of groups and number of slots per group depend on the system.
There are no slot groups in the ERX1440 or the ERX310 router. In the ERX310 router, slot
0 contains the SRP module and slots 1 and 2 each contain a line module.
Slot Groups for the ERX1410 Router
A slot group in the ERX1410 router comprises three adjacent chassis slots. The groups
for the ERX1410 router consist of the following slots (Figure 17 on page 33):
A slot group in an ERX7xx model comprises one slot or two adjacent slots. The groups
for an ERX7xx model consist of the following slots (Figure 18 on page 33):
•
Slot group 1—Slots 2 and 3
•
Slot group 2—Slot 4
•
Slot group 3—Slot 5
•
Slot group 4—Slot 6
Slots 0 and 1 are reserved for the SRP modules.
Figure 18: ERX7xx Model Slot Groups
Combinations of Line Modules In Slot Groups
For information about combinations of line modules in slot groups, see JunosE System
Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules.
OC48 Line Modules
The ERX1440 router with theSRP-40G+ SRPmodulesupports OC48line modules. Other
ERX routers do not support OC48 line modules.
An OC48 line module spans two slots in an ERX1440 router. You can install this line
module only in slots 2–3 and slots 4–5. Other slots in the system do not support this line
module.
The corresponding OC48 Frame APS I/O module spans only one slot. Install the I/O
module in the lower of the slots (either slot 2 or slot 4) that the line module spans.
GE-2 Line Modules
The ERX1440 router with the SRP-40G+ SRP module supports GE-2 line modules in all
slots; however, full bandwidth is delivered only when the line module is in slot 2 or slot
4. The line module can be used with otherSRP modules,but maximumline performance
will not be achieved.
The ERX310router with the SRP-SE10G SRP module supports GE-2 line modules in both
slots (1 and 2). Maximum line performance is achieved in either slot.
Other ERX routers do not support GE-2 line modules.
Managing Modules Using the Software
For information about software procedures associated with replacing and managing
modules, see JunosE System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules.
Hot-Swapping Modules
All ERX routers support hot-swapping of modules. Hot-swapping enables you to add or
remove a module without powering down the system.
Protecting Modules and Slots
Each ERX chassis has an ESD (electrostatic discharge) grounding jack. See Table 3 on
page 35 for locations. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, connect an
antistatic wrist strap to the jack when handling components.
Figure 19: Connecting the Wrist Strap to the ERX310 Router (Rear)
To protect the modules and slots when installing modules, observe the following
guidelines:
CAUTION: When handling modules, use an antistatic wrist strap connected
to the router's ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protect the module
from damage by electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION: Always handle the module by its edges. Do not touch the
components, pins, leads, or solder connections.
Order of Installation
CAUTION: If you meet strongresistancewhen attemptingtoseatthe module
using the ejectors, remove it from the chassis and confirm that the slot is
designed to hold the module. Then verify, if applicable, that the module
matchesits corresponding module (I/O module or line module). Also, be sure
that you have aligned the top and bottom edges in the correct matching
tracks.
CAUTION: Be sure to cover every empty slot with a blank filler panel to protect
the system from dust or other foreign substances and to ensure proper system
cooling.
CAUTION: Do not discard the antistatic bag. When a module is not in use,
store it in an antistatic bag.
Beforeyou attempt to install orreplacea linemodule (inserted inthe frontof thechassis),
make sure the corresponding I/O module (inserted in the rear of the chassis) is already
in place. The slot diagnostics run when a line module is installed in a chassis slot. If the
corresponding I/O module is not present, the diagnostics fail, and you need to remove
and reinsert the module.
Required Tools and Safety Items
You need the following tools to install a line module:
•
A No. 2 Phillips screwdriver
•
An ESD wrist strap
Safety Guidelines
Before and during the installation process, observe the following precautions:
WARNING: Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cablesduring
lightning activity.
WARNING: Be sure circuit breakers for the power source are in the OFF
position before attaching power cables.
WARNING: Removejewelry(including rings, necklaces,and watches)before
working on equipment that is connected to power lines. Metal objects heat
up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or
become welded to the terminals.
WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, into an
open slot or the backplane. Doing so can cause electric shock and serious
burns.
WARNING: Never attempt to repair parts of modules yourself. Only trained
customer service personnel are authorized to service parts. Call Juniper
Networks Customer Service to make arrangements to return defective
modules for repair.
Installing SRP I/O and SRP Modules
You must install SRP modules in specific slots in each router. See Table 4 on page 37 for
SRP module slot assignments.
NOTE: Because of different physical dimensions and switch fabric capabilities,
SRP modules are not interchangeable between systems. For example, the
10-Gbps SRP module used in ERX7xx and ERX14xx models cannot be used
in an ERX310 router, and vice versa.
NOTE: Install the SRP I/O module before you install the SRP module;
otherwise, the system diagnostics will fail.

CAUTION: Do not overtighten the screws.
If you remove an I/O module and not the corresponding line module, the line module
reboots. Its status becomes inactive when you issue the show version command.
If you removea linemodule and donot delete the corresponding configuration,the status
of the line module is listed as not present when you issue the show version command.
Installing Components for Line Module Redundancy
A spare linemodule provides redundancy for a groupof identical linemodules for ERX7xx
and ERX14xx models only.
NOTE: The ERX310 router does not support line module redundancy.
For line module redundancy to operate, you must install:
•
The line modules, including the spare line module
•
The redundancy midplane
•
The I/O modules, including the spare I/O module
For more information, see “Redundancy Features” on page 14.
WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place
your hand into an open slot or the backplane when the router is on. Remove
jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on
equipment that is connectedto power lines. These actions can prevent electric
shock and serious burns.
Chapter 4: Installing Modules
CAUTION: When handling modules, use an antistatic wrist strap connected
to the router's ESD grounding jack, and hold modules by their edges. Do not
touch the components, pins, leads, or solder connections. These actions help
to protect modules from damage by electrostatic discharge.
Installing the Line Modules
To install the line modules in a redundancy group:
1. Install the spare line module in the lowest-numbered slot of the redundancy group.
2. Install the other line modules in the remaining slots. (See “Installing Line and I/O
Modules” on page 39.)
Installing the Redundancy Midplane
To install the redundancy midplane in a redundancy group:
CAUTION: If you do not use the halt command before removing or powering
down an SRP, the system's NVS card can become corrupted.
1. Install the redundancy I/O module in the lowest-numbered slot of the redundancy
group.
2. Install the corresponding I/O module for theline module ofeach slot inthe redundancy
group. (See “Installing a Line Module or an I/O Module” on page 39.)
3. Cable each module to provide a path to the remote interface. (See “Cabling ERX
Routers” on page 47.)
Verifying the Installation
To verify that the installation is complete:
1. After you have cabled the system for power, as described in “Cabling ERX Routers”
on page 47, turn on the power switches.
CAUTION: When setting up a redundancy group with line modules, be
sure to install the redundancy I/O module in the lowest-numbered slot of
the redundancy group. It is possible to install the redundancy I/O module
in other slots; however, doing so can damage other I/O modules connected
to the redundancy midplane.

Cabling Overview
Cabling an ERX router requires the following main tasks:
1. Familiarize yourself with the module ports, and ensure that you have the cables and
wires needed to complete each cabling procedure. (See Figure 23 on page 48.)
2. Read and understand all safety warnings. (See “Installation Guidelines and
Requirements” on page 117.)
3. (Optional) Connect timing ports.
4. Connect the SRP I/O module to the network and to a management console.
5. Connect grounding wires to the router chassis.
6. Connect the power cables from the power source to the power input module.
7. Connect the line I/O modules to their appropriate network interface.
NOTE: We recommend that you use shielded cables where appropriate.
#10 (ERX7xx and ERX14xx models) or #8 (ERX310 Broadband Services Router) kep
nut to connect the ground (earth) wire to the ground terminal.
Power input module wiring—We recommend a minimum of 8-AWG wire for ERX14xx
models, 12-AWG wire for ERX7xx models, and 14-AWG wire for ERX310 router (DC
model) with a dual stud terminal lug with 5/8–inch spacing. For the ERX310 router AC
model, use a standard IEC power cord.
Consider the distance from the connection point and the configuration of the system
when determining the size of wire used.
See “SystemSpecifications”on page 109formore information on routerspecifications.
Port and Cable UsedConnection
Management connection between SRP I/O module and
the LAN
Management connection between SRP I/O module and a
management console
Direct connections to I/O modules
NOTE: If you plan to use a cable-management bracket (ERX7xx and
ERX14xx models only), install it before you begin cabling your router.
Cable-managementbrackets are helpful to keep network interface cables
untangledand orderly and to preventcablesfromhindering access to other
slots. See “Installing a Cable-Management Bracket on ERX7xx Models” on
page 92.
Cabling the SRP I/O Module
Before powering up the router, you must set up a management console. The console
enables you to communicate with your system during the power-up process and to
manage your system using the command-line interface (CLI).

connector
One RS-232 port with a DB-9 connector for VT100 management
access
See the ERX Module Guide for specific I/O module connector
information
When connecting a console directly to the SRP I/O module, use a cable appropriate for
your terminal connector. The cable must have a female DB-9 connector to attach to the
RS-232 port on the SRP I/O module. See Figure 24 on page 51 and Figure 25 on page 52.
The console port is considered a data terminal equipment interface (DTE). Direct
connection to a terminal or PC (which also have DTE interfaces) requires a crossover
cable.
NOTE: The alarm function on the SRP I/O module is currently not
implemented.
Only ERX7xx and ERX14xx models have external timing ports and alarm leads located
on the SRP I/O module. All ERX routers have console ports located on the SRP I/O
module. See Table 7 on page 50 for details on each component.

NOTE: This section applies to ERX7xx and ERX14xx models only. The ERX310
router does not support external timing.
The SRP I/O module has two input ports for external clock sources. These ports provide
a way to ensure that the router system clock remains synchronized with the network's
system clock. The primary clock is labeled A; the secondary, redundant clock is labeled
B.
Use the connectors appropriate for your locale (European or North American standard):
•
European—Two 75-ohm E1 2.048-Mbps inputs with BNC connectors
•
North American—Two 100-ohm T1 inputs with three pin wire-wrap connectors. Pins
are labeled T (tip), G (ground), and R (ring). We recommend using 26-AWG wire
minimum.
NOTE: Use shielded cables to connect the external clock sources to the
clock source input ports.
The Console section of the SRP I/O module has two ports for management access. (See
Figure 24 on page 51 and Figure 25 on page 52.)
•
The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 (male) connector, providing an
out-of-band connection for LAN access through a Telnet session or SNMP.
•
The RS-232 port accepts a DB-9 (female) connector for direct CLI access from a
console terminal.
The console port is considered a data terminal equipment interface (DTE). Direct
connection to a terminal or PC (which also have DTE interfaces) requires a crossover
cable.
Figure 25: SRP I/O Module for the ERX310 Router
See “Accessing ERX Routers” on page 69 for more information about management
access.
Connecting to the Network
To connect the router to the network:
1. Insert an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) connector into the 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) port on
the SRP I/O module until it clicks into place.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet network for an
out-of-band connection.
Connecting to a Console Terminal
When you connect a console directly to the router SRP I/O module, use a cable
appropriate for your terminal connector. The cable must have a female DB-9 connector
to attach to the RS-232 port on the SRP I/O module.
To connect the console to the SRP I/O module:
1. Insert the female DB-9 connector into the RS-232 port, and tighten the screws.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your terminal's serial port (VT100/ANSI).
Cabling the Router for Power
Afteryou have correctlycabledthe modules and I/O modules, you must attach grounding
and electrical wires before you attempt system power-up. Three main tasks are involved:
1. Switch all router power switches to OFF.
2. Connect the grounding wires to the chassis.
Chapter 5: Cabling ERX Routers
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the screws.
CAUTION: Switchesmay have inadvertentlyflipped to ON during shipping
and installation.
WARNING: Always connect the grounding wires first (before connecting
the power cables) and disconnect them last when installing or servicing
the router.
3. Connect the power cables (AC or DC) to the power input modules.
See “System Specifications” on page 109 for the power requirements for ERX routers.
Table 8 on page 53 identifies the power input module cabling requirements, and Figure
26 on page 55 shows the main components of a power input module.
Table 8: Power Input Module Cables and Wires Needed
Before starting, you must switch all router power switches to OFF.
To turn off the router, push each power switch to the OFF position.
Task 2: Connect the Grounding Cables
All ERX routers have two grounding studs located in the rear of the chassis, near the
power inputs. Each stud provides grounding for a single power unit.
To ground each power unit:
1. Locate the grounding studs on the router (Figure 26 on page 55 and Figure 27 on
page 57).
2. Remove the nuts and locking washers from the grounding studs.
3. Place the grounding cable lead on one of the grounding studs and tighten the nuts to
secure the connection.
4. Connect the other end of the ground cable to the appropriate ground termination
lead.
5. Repeat Steps 3–4 for the remaining grounding stud.
Task 3: Connect the Power Cables
NOTE: We recommend a minimum of 10-AWG ground wire with a ring
style terminal.
NOTE: When grounding an ERX router, leavea service loop in the grounding
cable to ensure that the grounding cable is the last cable to disconnect
from the shelf if strain is placed on the electrical cables.
To connect power cables to the router, follow these steps. Refer to Figure 26 on page 55,
Figure 27 on page 57, and Figure 28 on page 58 as needed.
WARNING: Before you begin this procedure, ensure that all power switches
are in the OFF position.
1. Be sure you have completed Task 1 and Task 2 in the previous sections.
2. If applicable, loosen the screws (using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, if necessary) from
the clear power input module cover and remove it.
WARNING: Be sure the power source is turned off, the router is turned off,
and proper grounding wires are attached before continuing with this
procedure.
WARNING: The wiring color code of the power cables depends on the
color coding of the DC power source installed at your site. Color code
standards for DC wiring do not exist. To ensure that the correct polarity is
connected to the router power units, confirm the connection of the power
cables to the + (positive) and – (negative) leads at the power source.
3. Remove the nuts and locking washers from the posts for the power input (A or B)
using a small insulated adjustable wrench.
4. Place one negative (neutral) cable lead on the post labeled –48 VDC.
This section illustrates the common connector types used with ERX I/O modules. For
information about the connectors on the different line modules, see the ERX ModuleGuide.
HSSI Connectors
Figure 29: I/O Module with BNCs
The HSSI I/O module uses a standard 50-pin HSSI connector.
CAUTION: Do not terminateHSSIconnectionswith SCSI connectors.Although
SCSI connectors look very similar to HSSI connectors, using SCSI connectors
on HSSI connections can lead to data loss.

Before You Power Up the System
Before powering up the system, make sure you complete the following tasks. See the
appropriate chapters in this guide for information about these tasks.
WARNING: Be sure the power source is turned off and the system is turned
off before you perform the installation tasks.

Powering Up
For specifications on the electrical requirements for the system, see “System
Specifications” on page 109. For details on the power consumed by the different ERX
modules, see the ERX Module Guide.
NOTE: In this procedure, we assume that the system is already connected
to a power source. See “Cabling ERX Routers” on page 47.
1. Verify that the power source is operational and turned on.
2. Inspect all grounding and power connections to the router chassis.
3. Confirm that all connections are secure.
4. Switch the power switches to ON.
5. Monitor the LEDs on the front of the SRP modules to verify that the system is booting
properly. See Table 11 on page 101 in “Troubleshooting” on page 95 for LED status
explanations.
When the prompt appears on the system console, the system is in User Exec mode
and is ready to be configured:
Initialization Sequence
Status LEDs
host1>
6. Enter the enable command to access Privileged Exec mode:
host1>enable
host1#
In Privileged Exec mode you can begin to configure the system. See JunosE System
Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, Command-Line Interface for more information.
Each line module is initialized independently. As a result, the CLI on the SRP module can
become available before the line modules have completed initialization. Commands
relating to a line module might fail if the module has not completed initialization. You
can use the show version command to display line module status. Do not enter
commands for a line module until its state is listed as online.
Upon initial power-up, the components of the router run boot code, go through a series
of self diagnostic tests, and synchronize with each other.
When the tests are complete, use the LEDs on each module to determine the status of
the router. Observe the line module and SRP module LEDs in the front, and the I/O line
module and SRP I/O module LEDs in the rear.
See “Troubleshooting” on page 95 for information on the system's LEDs.
Powering Down
If you need to power down or remove the SRP module, first enter the halt command to
temporarily suspend the system's operation. See JunosE System Basics ConfigurationGuide, Chapter 5, Managing the System for more information.
This chapter discusses how to access the system to manage it. Managing your router
includes both configuring and monitoring it. For basic information on the management
of the system, see JunosE System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, Managing theSystem.
This chapter contains the following sections:
•
Setting Up Management Access on page 69
•
Console Port Setup on page 70
•
Telnet Setup on page 72
•
SNMP on page 73
•
The Next Step on page 73
Setting Up Management Access
Before you power up the system, you must set up a management console. (See
“Connecting to a Console Terminal” on page 52.) You use the console to communicate
with the system during the power-up process, set an IP address, andmanage thesystem
using the command-line interface (CLI).
You can manage and monitor the router through either of these methods:
•
Console terminal—Connect a console (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation) directly
to the system's RS-232 serial port.
•
Remoteconsole—Connect the 10/100Base-Tport onthe SRP I/Omoduleto an Ethernet
network, and run Telnet from a remote console.
For initial access to the system, you need to physically connect your console directly to
the system's RS-232 port. Through thisconnectionyou can use theCLI toset an IP address
on the system. After you configure the IP address, you can access the system remotely
(for example, via Telnet).
You can connect a console terminal (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation) directly to the
SRP I/O module via the RS-232 terminal port. When you connect a console directly to
the system, you can configure the system without an IP address.
To communicate with the system, you must have a terminal emulation program running
on your PC or Macintosh. You can use any terminal emulation program, such as
HyperTerminal. A UNIX workstation can use the emulator TIP.
If your console uses a version of Microsoft Windows (such as Windows 95 or Windows
NT 4.0) that supports the HyperTerminal application, you can access the system via
HyperTerminal.
1. Click the Start button and select Programs, Accessories, and HyperTerminal.
2. In the HyperTerminal window, select HyperTerminal.
3. In the Connection Description window, enter a name for your router (for example,
erx1400) in the Name field.
4. Select any icon to represent your terminal emulation, and click OK.
5. In the Connect To dialog box, in the Connect using field, select the appropriate COM
port to use (for example, COM1), and click OK.
6. In the COM1 Properties window, select the following settings:
•
Bits per second: 9600
•
Data bits: 8
•
Parity: None
•
Stop bits: 1
•
Flow control: Xon/Xoff
7. Click OK.
Connecting Directly to the Router
When you connect a console directly to the system, use a cable appropriate for your
terminal connector. The cable must have a female DB-9 connector to attach to the
RS-232 port on the system.
The console port is considered a data terminal equipment interface (DTE). Direct
connection to a terminal or PC (which also have DTE interfaces) requires a crossover
cable.
1. Connect the female DB-9 connector to the RS-232 port on the system's SRP I/O
module. See Figure 36 on page 71.
Figure 36: Management Ports for ERX Routers
Assigning an IP Address
2. Connect the crossover adapter connector to your PC's serial port.
3. Power up the system.
When you power upthe system, the CLIappears on your console's screen. The system
is now in User Exec mode, and you can begin configuration. For more information on
using the CLI and configuring the system, see the JunosE System Basics ConfigurationGuide.
NOTE: Direct accessthrough the RS-232 serial port enables you to monitor
the system while it boots.
When yourconsole isready to communicate with the system, power up the system.(See
“Powering Up ERX Routers” on page 65.) Then set an IP address for the system. The
system powers up in User Exec mode. To assign an IP address:
1. Enter the enable command at the User Exec prompt.
Substitute the slot number where the SRP module is located for the slotnumber
variable. For redundant SRP modules, specify the lowest slot number of the two
(for example 0/0 or 6/0).
•
Use an IP address valid for the system.
host1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1(config)#interface FastEthernet slotnumber/0
host1(config-if)#ip address 10.10.7.3 255.255.255.0
3. Continue to configure the system's parameters as needed.
After you have assigned an IP address to the system, you can communicate remotely by
running Telnet over an Ethernet network. See “Telnet Setup” on page 72.
After you have configured an IP address for the system, you can run Telnet from a host
to access the system through its Ethernet port. To connect the Ethernet port to the
network:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) to the system's 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) port on
the SRP I/O module.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet network for an
out-of-band connection.
Before you can access the system with Telnet, you must either configure a password for
Telnet access or disable the password requirement from the management console. In
the following example, you disable the password.
1. Enter the enable command.
host1>enable
host1#
The system is now in Privileged Exec mode.
2. Enter the configure command.
host1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1(config)#
NOTE: In this example, you disabled the password requirement, but you
can choose to set a password instead. See JunosE System Basics
Configuration Guide, Chapter 8, Passwords and Security for information on
setting a password.
5. Run Telnet from a host on the same Ethernet network as the system.
6. Enter the IP address of the system to open the Telnet session.
The User Exec prompt appears when the Telnet session to the system is established.
host1>
7. Enter the enable command.
host1>enable
host1#
The system is now in Privileged Exec mode.
8. Enter the configure command.
SNMP
host1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1(config)#
The system is now in Global Configuration mode, from which you can configure the
system. See JunosE System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, Command-LineInterface.
CAUTION: Do not change the IP address for the Ethernet interface that
you are using to communicate with the system. If you change the address,
you will lose the Telnet session.
The system supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), a standard
management protocol for IP networks. You can configure the system as an SNMP agent.
As an SNMP agent, the system provides access to management information that it
maintains. See JunosE System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 4, Configuring SNMP
for information on SNMP. See JunosE Command Reference Guide A to M and JunosECommand Reference Guide N to Z for the commands that are available for configuring
the system as an SNMP agent.

Required Tools and Items
You will need the following tools and other items to replace ERX router components:
•
Flathead and No. 2 Phillips screwdrivers
•
Insulated adjustable wrench
•
Antistatic wrist strap
•
Antistatic bags (or other protective packaging to hold components)
•
Plastic boots or other protective cover for fiber-optic SC and LC connectors
Retain the packaging in which a module or component was shipped, and use this
packaging to store the item. Modules are shipped in antistatic bags and protective
packaging. Components, such as transceivers and nonvolatile storage (NVS) cards, are
shipped in antistatic plastic containers within an antistatic padded box.
CAUTION: Failureto store electronic modules and components correctly can
lead to damage of these items.
Follow these guidelines for storing modules and components:
•
Store each module in a separate antistatic bag.
•
Store components in an antistatic plastic container. Some of these containers can
accommodate several components in separate compartments.
•
Do not store multiple modules or components in an antistatic bag or container where
they can touch other items.
Cleaning the System
•
(Optional) Store the item in its antistatic bag or container within the protective
packaging or padded box that the item was shipped in.
Dust is attracted to the side of the system on which the air intake vent is located. Clean
this sideof thesystemwith adry cloth every few weeks to prevent excessiveaccumulation
of dust. This cleaning helps to maintain the efficiency of the cooling system and prevent
damage to electronic components.
WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place
your hand into an open slot or the backplane when the router is on. Remove
jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on
equipment that is connected to power lines. These actions prevent electric
shock and serious burns.
CAUTION: When cleaning the system, wear an antistatic wrist strap
connected to the system's ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protect
modules from damage by electrostatic discharge.
Upgrading JunosE Software
Release 5.1.1 or lower-numbered release support application images only up to 172 MB.
Application images may be available remotelythrough Telnet or FTP, or may be delivered
on a new NVS card. If you upgrade the JunosE Software using a new NVS card, we
recommend you perform the upgrade in two stages: first to an intermediate release and
then to the higher-numbered release you want to run. This restriction is not applicable
if you upgrade your software remotely through Telnet or FTP.
To install larger application images for Release 6.0.0 and higher-numbered releases,
you must first install Release 5.1.2 (or a higher-numbered 5.x.x release). This enables the
system to support application images greater than 172 MB. For example, if you are
upgrading the software using anew NVS card, you cannotgofrom Release5.1.1 to Release
7.2.0 without first upgrading to Release 5.1.2.
See the following table for compatibility of releases.

Upgrading NVS Cards on SRP Modules on page 79
Upgrading NVS Cards on SRP Modules
This section describes how to install higher-capacity NVS cards on SRP modules. The
procedure you use depends on the number of SRP modules in the system. A new NVS
card already contains the software release you ordered.
NOTE: The new NVS card must contain the same software release that you
are running on the system.
Upgrading a System That Contains One SRP Module
If the system contains only one SRP module, you must power down the system before
you upgrade the NVS card.
~256 MBNot applicableNo limitation7.2.0 or higher-numbered release
To upgrade the NVS card on a system that contains one SRP module:
CAUTION: If you do not use the halt command before removing or powering
down an SRP module, the system's NVS card can become corrupted.
See JunosE System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules for
information about the halt command.
WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place
your hand into an open slot or the backplane when the router is on. Remove
jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on
equipment that is connected to power lines. These actions prevent electric
shock and serious burns.
CAUTION: When handling modules,use an antistaticwrist strap connected
tothe router's ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protectthe module
from damage by electrostatic discharge.
2. Connect the antistatic wrist strap to the ESD grounding jack on the router.
3. Power down the system.
4. Remove the SRP module.
5. Replace the NVS card on the SRP module. (See “Replacing an NVS Card” on page 81.)
6. Power up the system. (See “Powering Up ERX Routers” on page 65.)
Upgrading a System That Contains Two SRP Modules
In a system that contains two SRP modules, you can upgrade the NVS cards on the SRP
modules without powering down the system.
WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place
your hand into an open slot or the backplane when the router is on. Remove
jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on
equipment that is connected to power lines. These actions prevent electric
shock and serious burns.
CAUTION: When handling modules, use an antistatic wrist strap connected
to the router's ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protect the module
from damage by electrostatic discharge.
To upgrade the NVS cards on the SRP modules in a system that contains two SRP
modules:
1. Connect the antistatic wrist strap to the ESD grounding jack on your router.
3. Remove the redundant SRP module from the chassis.
4. Replace the NVScard on this SRP module.(See “Replacing an NVSCard” onpage 81.)
5. Reinsert the SRP module into the chassis.
6. When this SRP module is available, synchronize the SRP modules.
host1#synchronize
7. When the SRP modules are synchronized, reboot the SRP module that you upgraded.
host1#reload slot 7
8. When this SRP module is available, synchronize the SRP modules.
host1#synchronize
9. When the SRP modules are synchronized, force the redundant SRP module to take
over from the primary SRP module.
host1#srp switch
10. Halt the redundant (former primary) SRP module.
11. Immediately remove the former primary SRP module.
12. Repeat Steps 4–8 for the former primary SRP module.
Replacing an NVS Card
To replace an NVS card on an SRP module:
1. Obtain an antistatic container for the NVS card you plan to remove. (See “Storing
2. Be sure you have halted the SRP module using the halt command.
3. With a small flathead screwdriver, remove the faceplate from the NVS card slot on
4. Use the screwdriver to depress the release button next to the NVS card. (See Figure
host1#halt standby-srp
CAUTION: Before you insert or remove an NVS card from a running SRP
module, we strongly recommend that you halt the SRP module or shut down
the router. Failure to do this can result in file corruption in one or both cards.
See JunosE System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Managing Modules
for information about the halt command.
5. Remove the NVS card and place it in the antistatic container.
6. Insert the new NVS card into the slot, and push it until it clicks into place.
7. Replace the faceplate on the NVS card slot.
Upgrading Memory on SRP Modules
This section describes how to upgrade memory on SRP modules. JunosE Software
releases 3.0.x and higher require at least 512 MB of memory on each SRP module, while
releases 5.3.x and higher require at least 1 GB of memory. See the ERX Module Guide for
more information.
NOTE: The ERX310 SRP module contains two small outline dual inline
memory module (SODIMM) banks that use 256-MB memory, and currently
is not upgradeable.
Four main steps are involved in upgrading memory on SRP modules:
1. Display how much memory is currently installed on the SRP module.
2. Remove the SRP module and the SODIMMs.
3. Add the new SODIMMs to the SRP module.
4. Reinstall the SRP module and verify the upgrade.
See the following sections for information on each step.
WARNING: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place
your hand into an open slot or the backplane when the router is on. Remove
jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on
equipment that is connected to power lines. These actions prevent electric
shock and serious burns.
CAUTION: When handling modules, use an antistatic wrist strap connected
to the router's ESD grounding jack, and hold modules by their edges. Do not
touch the components, pins, leads, or solder connections. These actions help
to protect modules from damage by electrostatic discharge.
Displaying the Memory Installed
Before you install the new memory, issue the show hardware command to see how
much memory is installed. Each ERX7xx and ERX14xx model SRP module usually has at
least 256 MB of memory. You need one upgrade kit for each SRP module in the system.
Depending on the upgrade you are performing, the kit contains a specific number of
SODIMMs.
Removing SODIMMs
Afterremovingthe SRP modulefrom the router, you mighthavetoremovelower-memory
SODIMMs to upgrade to a higher-capacity SRP module. The SODIMM sockets are close
to the NVS card and have a cream-colored ceramic connector at one edge. Some or all
of the sockets might already contain SODIMMs.

Adding New SODIMMs
1. Push down on the back edge of a SODIMM to release it from the socket. (See Figure
38 on page 84.)
2. Gently pull the SODIMM up and out to disconnect it from the connectors and remove
