Upgrading MX240, MX480, and MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Fan Trays and Power Supplies

December 2010 Part Number: 530-036423 Revision 02

This documentdescribes the necessary stepsto be taken to upgrade any JuniperNetworks MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routerchassis 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-capacityand 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

10.0R2 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 MX240, MX480, and MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Power Supplies and Fan Trays

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 softwarerevision requirements for the cooling and power modules. Without this minimum softwarerevision, these new parts are not supported and likelynot detected and managed properly.

Upgrading the MX960 Air Filter Tray

For proper cooling, it is necessary to upgrade the fan filter tray in addition to both fan trays.

Removing the MX960 Air Filter

NOTE: Mixing of high-capacity fan trays and the existing fan filter tray is not supported.

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.

Upgrading MX240, MX480, and MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Power Supplies and Fan Trays

To remove the air filter (see Figure 11 on page 12):

1. Attachan 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.

Table 1: Fan Tray Power Requirements

Fan Tray Power Requirements

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 upgradedsystem 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.

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.

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 cablelug 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.

Upgrading MX240, MX480, and MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Power Supplies and Fan Trays

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 configurationprovides 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.

Verify that the INPUT OK LED on the power supply is lit green.

13. On each of the DC power supplies, switch the DC circuit breaker to the center position

before moving it to the on (—) position.

NOTE: The circuit breaker may bounce back to the off (O) position if you

move the breaker too quickly.

Installing the MX240 and MX480 DC High-Capacity Power Supplies

Observe the status LEDs on the power supply faceplate. If the power supply is correctly installed and functioning normally, the PWR OK, BRKR ON, and INPUT OK LEDs light green steadily.

NOTE: If more than one power supply is being installed, turn on all power

supplies at the same time.

NOTE: An SCB must be present for the PWR OK LED to go on.

Upgrading the MX960 DC Power Supplies Overview

To upgrade the MX960 DC power supplies:

1. 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.

2. On the high-capacity power supply, rotate the metal cover away from the input mode

switch to expose the switch.

3. Move the input mode switch to position 0 for one feed or position 1 for two feeds.

NOTE: For a fully redundant configuration in two-feed mode, 8 feeds are

required. For a non-redundant configuration, 4 feeds are required.

CAUTION: Do not use a pencil, because fragments can break off and cause damage to the power supply.

4. Attach power feeds and power up the power supply.

5. Continue by removing an adjacent existing power supply and replacing it with a

high-capacity power supply.

Removing an MX960 DC Power Supply

Before you remove a power supply, be aware of the following:

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

Removing an MX960 DC Power Supply

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.

To remove a DC power supply (see Figure 14 on page 17):

1. Switch off the dedicated customer site circuit breaker for the power supply being

removed. Follow your site's procedures for ESD.

2. Make sure that the voltage across the DC power source cable leads is 0 V and that

there is no chance that the cables might become active during the removal process.

3. Verify that the INPUT OK LEDs on the power supply to be removed are not lit.

4. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect

the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.

5. Move the DC circuit breaker on the power supply faceplate to the off (O) position.

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. (Use a 7/16-in.

[11-mm] nut driver or socket wrench.)

8. Remove the cable lugs from the terminal studs.

9. Loosen the captive screw on the cable restraint on the lower edge of the power supply

faceplate.

10. Carefully move the power cables out of the way.

11. While grasping the handle on the power supply faceplate with one hand, use your

Upgrading MX240, MX480, and MX960 3D Universal Edge Router Power Supplies and Fan Trays

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 slots 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 configurationprovides the commonly deployed A/B feed redundancyfor the system.For information about connectingto DC power sources, see DC Power Supply Electrical Specifications for the MX960 Router.

11. Loosen the captive screw on the cable restraint on the lower edge of the power supply

faceplate.
