Documentation and Release Notes
To obtain the most current version of all Juniper Networks®technical documentation, see the product
documentation page on the Juniper Networks website at https://www.juniper.net/documentation/.
If the information in the latest release notes differs from the information in the documentation, follow the
product Release Notes.
Juniper Networks Books publishes books by Juniper Networks engineers and subject matter experts.
These books go beyond the technical documentation to explore the nuances of network architecture,
deployment, and administration. The current list can be viewed at https://www.juniper.net/books.
Using the Examples in This Manual
If you want to use the examples in this manual, you can use the load merge or the load merge relative
command. These commands cause the software to merge the incoming configuration into the current
candidate configuration. The example does not become active until you commit the candidate configuration.
If the example configuration contains the top level of the hierarchy (or multiple hierarchies), the example
is a full example. In this case, use the load merge command.
If the example configuration does not start at the top level of the hierarchy, the example is a snippet. In
this case, use the load merge relative command. These procedures are described in the following sections.
Merging a Full Example
To merge a full example, follow these steps:
1. From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration example into a text file, save the
file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing platform.
For example, copy the following configuration to a file and name the file ex-script.conf. Copy the
ex-script.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing platform.
system {
scripts {
commit {
file ex-script.xsl;
}
}
}
interfaces {
fxp0 {
disable;
unit 0 {
family inet {
address 10.0.0.1/24;
}
}
}
}
xiii
2. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the load merge
configuration mode command:
1. From the HTML or PDF version of the manual, copy a configuration snippet into a text file, save the
file with a name, and copy the file to a directory on your routing platform.
For example, copy the following snippet to a file and name the file ex-script-snippet.conf. Copy the
ex-script-snippet.conf file to the /var/tmp directory on your routing platform.
commit {
file ex-script-snippet.xsl; }
2. Move to the hierarchy level that is relevant for this snippet by issuing the following configuration mode
command:
[edit]
user@host# edit system scripts
[edit system scripts]
xiv
3. Merge the contents of the file into your routing platform configuration by issuing the load merge
relative configuration mode command:
[edit system scripts]
user@host# load merge relative /var/tmp/ex-script-snippet.conf
load complete
For more information about the load command, see CLI Explorer.

MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router Overview
20
IN THIS SECTION
Benefits of the MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router | 20
MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Hardware Overview | 21
The Juniper Networks MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Universal Routing Platforms are Ethernet-optimized
edge routers that provide both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing. The MX5, MX10, MX40, and
MX80 routers run Junos operating system (Junos OS), enabling a wide range of business and residential
applications and services, including high-speed transport and virtual private network (VPN) services,
next-generation broadband multiplay services, and high-volume Internet data center internetworking.
Each router provides full duplex, high-density Ethernet interfaces and high- capacity switching throughput
and uses the Junos Trio chipset for increased scalability of L2/L3 packet forwarding, buffering, and queuing.
Benefits of the MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router
System Capacity—The MX80, MX40, MX10, and MX5 routers are software upgradeable from 20 Gbps
•
to 80 Gbps. These platforms have up to four Modular Interface Card (MIC) slots and two fixed 10-Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces for connecting to the network.
Always-on infrastructure base—MX Series routers ensure network and service availability with a broad
•
set of multilayered physical, logical, and protocol-level resiliency aspects. Junos OS Virtual Chassis
technology on MX Series routers supports chassis-level redundancy and enables you to manage two
routers as a single element. Multichassis link aggregation group (MC-LAG) implementation supports
stateful chassis, card, and port redundancy.
Application-Aware Networking—On MX Series routers you can use deep packet inspection to detect
•
applications, and by using the user-defined policies, you can determine traffic treatment for each
application. This feature enables highly customized and differentiated services at scale.
Programmable Chipset—The chipset implemented in the MX Series routers has a programmable
•
forwarding data structure that allows fast microcode changes in the hardware itself, and a programmable
lookup engine that allows inline service processing. the chip’s programmable QoS engine supports coarse
and fine-grained queuing to address the requirements of core, edge, and aggregation use cases.
Junos Continuity and Unified In-Service Software Upgrade (Unified ISSU)—With the Junos continuity
•
plug-in package, you can perform a smooth upgrade when new hardware is installed in your MX Series
router.
Unified in-service software upgrade (unified ISSU) enables software upgrades and changes without
disrupting network traffic.
Junos Telemetry Interface—Using the Junos telemetry interface data, you can stream component-level
•
data to monitor, analyze, and enhance the performance of the network. Analytics derived from this
streaming telemetry can identify current and trending congestion, resource utilization, traffic volume,
and buffer occupancy.
21
Integrated Hardware-Based Timing—You do not need to use external clocks because MX Series routers
•
support highly scalable and reliable hardware-based timing, including Synchronous Ethernet for frequency,
and the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for frequency and phase synchronization. Synchronous Ethernet
and PTP can be combined in a hybrid mode to achieve a high level of frequency (10 ppb) and phase (<1.5
uS) accuracy.
MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Hardware Overview
The routers each contain a built-in Routing Engine and one Packet Forwarding Engine. The Packet
Forwarding Engine has two “pseudo” Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPC 0 and FPC1). Because there is no
switching fabric, the single Packet Forwarding Engine takes care of both ingress and egress packet
forwarding.
The routers are compact and two rack units (U) tall. Several routers can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling
rack for increased port density per unit of floor space.
For scalable configuration options you can install a variety of Modular Interface Cards (MICs) in the two
front slots of the router, and the optional Multiservices MIC can be installed in the rear slot. Software
licenses allow you to upgrade from one router to another without a hardware upgrade. The ports are
restricted based on the router’s associated license as follows:

DC Power Supply Description | 38
36
The MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 routers use either AC or DC power supplies (see Figure 15 on page 37
and Figure 16 on page 37). The router contains either one or two power supplies located at the front of
the chassis in slots PS0 and PS1 (right to left). Each power supply has a handle, an ejection lever, a power
switch, and a status LED. The power supplies connect to the baseboard, which distributes the different
output voltages produced by the power supplies to the router components, depending on their voltage
requirements. When two power supplies are present, they share power almost equally within a fully
populated system. If one power supply in a redundant configuration fails or is removed, the remaining
power supply assumes the entire electrical load without interruption. A single power supply provides the
maximum configuration with full power for as long as the router is operational. A second power supply
can be installed for redundancy. Each power supply is cooled by its own internal cooling system.
Redundant power supplies are hot-removable and hot-insertable. When you remove a power supply from
a router that uses only one power supply, the router might shut down depending on your configuration.
CAUTION: The router cannot be powered from AC and DC power supplies
simultaneously.
NOTE: Routers configured with only one power supply are shipped with a blank panel installed
over the power supply slot that is not populated.

AC Power Supply Description
Each AC power supply weighs approximately 2.6 lb (1.18 kg) and consists of a handle, an ejection lever,
an AC appliance inlet, an AC input switch, a fan, and an LED to monitor the status of the power supply.
Figure 17 on page 38 shows the power supply.
Each inlet requires a dedicated AC power feed and a dedicated customer site circuit breaker. We recommend
that you use a minimum 15 A (110 VAC) customer site circuit breaker, or as required by local code.

AC Power Circuit Breaker Requirements for the MX5, MX10, MX40, and
MX80 Router
We recommend that you use a dedicated customer site circuit breaker rated for 15 A (110 VAC) minimum
or 10 A (220 VAC) minimum for each AC power feed, or as required by local code. Doing so enables you
to operate the router in any configuration without upgrading the power infrastructure.
AC Power Cord Specifications for MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers
42
Each AC power supply has a single AC appliance inlet located on the power supply that requires a dedicated
AC power feed. Most sites distribute power through a main conduit that leads to frame-mounted power
distribution panels, one of which can be located at the top of the rack that houses the router. An AC power
cord connects each power supply to the power distribution panel.
You can order detachable AC power cords, each approximately 8 ft (2.5 m) long that supply AC power to
the router. The C13 appliance coupler end of the cord inserts into the AC appliance inlet coupler, type
C14 as described by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60320. The plug end of the
power cord fits into the power source receptacle that is standard for your geographic location.
Table 18 on page 42 provides specifications on the AC power cord provided for each country or region.

BS 1363A250 VAC, 10 A, 50 HzCBL-JX-PWR-UKUnited Kingdom
NOTE: In North America, AC power cords must not exceed approximately 14.75 ft (4.5 m) in
length, to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) Sections 400-8 (NFPA 75, 5-2.2) and
210-52, and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 4-010(3). You can order AC power cords
that are in compliance.
WARNING: The router is pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted-access
location. It has a separate protective earthing terminal (sized for SAE 10-32 ground
screws) provided on the chassis in addition to the grounding pin of the power supply
cord. This separate protective earthing terminal must be permanently connected to
earth.
CAUTION: Power cords and cables must not block access to device components or
drape where people could trip on them.

(–54 VDC input) * (input current X) = (–48 VDC input) * (input current Y)
54 * X = 48 * 13 A
X = 48 * 13 A/54 = 11.5 A
DC Power Circuit Breaker Requirements for the MX5, MX10, MX40, and
MX80 Routers
Each DC power supply has a single DC input (–48 VDC and return) that requires a dedicated circuit breaker.
We recommend that you use a dedicated customer site circuit breaker rated for 13 A (–48 VDC) minimum,
or as required by local code. Doing so enables you to operate the router in any configuration without
upgrading the power infrastructure.
If you plan to operate a DC-powered router at less than the maximum configuration and do not provision
a 13 A (–48 VDC) circuit breaker, we recommend that you provision a dedicated customer site circuit
breaker for each DC power supply rated for at least 125 percent of the continuous current that the system
draws at –48 VDC.
DC Power Source Cabling for MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers
The DC power supply in PS0 must be powered by a dedicated power feed derived from feed A, and the
DC power supply in PS1 must be powered by a dedicated power feed derived from feed B. This configuration
provides the commonly deployed A/B feed redundancy for the system.
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.
WARNING: For field-wiring connections, use copper conductors only.
47
CAUTION: Power cords and cables must not block access to device components or
drape where people could trip on them.

50
IN THIS SECTION
Front-Pluggable MICs | 51
Fixed (Built-in) MICs | 51
Modular Interface Cards (MICs) provide the physical connections to various network media types. MICs
receive incoming packets from the network and transmit outgoing packets to the network. During this
process, each MIC performs framing and high-speed signaling for its media type. Before transmitting
outgoing data packets through the MIC interfaces, the router encapsulates the packets received.
On the fixed MX80 chassis, the MICs come preinstalled and cannot be replaced.
On the modular MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 chassis, you can install a variety of MICs in the two front
slots of the router, and the optional Multiservices MIC can be installed in the rear slot.
Figure 20: MICs Installed in an MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router

Rack size and strength
Ensure that the rack is a 19-in. rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and
•
Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the
Electronics Components Industry Association (http://www.ecianow.org/).
Ensure that the rack is one of the following standard lengths:
•
23.62 in. (600 mm)
•
30.0 in. (762 mm)
•
31.5 in. (800 mm)
•
The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the router
•
chassis's external dimensions: 3.5 in. (8.9 cm) high, 23.46 in. (59.6 cm) deep,
and 17.5 in. (44.5 cm) wide. The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend
the width to 19.2 in. (48.7 cm). The spacing of rails and adjacent racks must
also allow for the clearances around the router and rack that are specified in
“MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers Clearance Requirements for Airflow
and Hardware Maintenance” on page 77.
The router ships with the mounting brackets installed in the front-mount
•
position. You can also move the brackets to the center-mount position. For
instructions about moving the mounting hardware, see “Moving the Mounting
Brackets for Center-Mounting MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers” on
page 94.
The chassis height of 3.5 in. (8.9 cm) is approximately 2 U.
•
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured
•
router, up to 30 lb (13.6 kg).
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper
•
clearance around the router and rack as specified in “MX5, MX10, MX40, and
MX80 Routers Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware
Maintenance” on page 77.

MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers Clearance Requirements for Airflow
and Hardware Maintenance
When planning the installation site, allow sufficient clearance around the rack (see Figure 26 on page 78):
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted. Allow
•
at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between side-cooled routers. Allow 2.8 in. (7 cm) between the side
of the chassis and any non-heat-producing surface such as a wall.
For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be adequate space at the
•
front and back of the router. At least 24 in. (61 cm) are required both in front of and behind the router.
NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the rack and 24 in. (61 cm)
behind the router.

MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Routers Cabinet Requirements and
Specifications
Table 36 on page 78 summarizes cabinet requirements and specifications for MX5, MX10, MX40, and
MX80 routers.
Table 36: Cabinet Requirements and Specifications for an MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router
Guidelines for the MX80 RouterCabinet Requirement
Cabinet size and clearance
The minimum-sized cabinet that can accommodate the router is 19-in. (482-mm)
•
wide and 23.62-in. (600-mm) deep. A cabinet larger than the minimum
requirement provides better airflow and reduces the chance of overheating. If
you provide adequate cooling air and airflow clearance, you can stack several
routers in a cabinet that has sufficient usable vertical space. Each router requires
2 U.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and AssociatedEquipment (document number EIA-310-D) published by the Electronic
Components Industry Association (ECIA) (http://www.ecianow.org).
With adequate cooling air and airflow clearance, you can stack multiple MX5,
•
MX10, MX40, and MX80 routers in a cabinet with a four-post rack. In all cases,
the rack must meet the strength requirements to support the weight.
The minimum total clearance inside the cabinet is 30.7 in. (780 mm) between
•
the inside of the front door and the inside of the rear door.

Cabinet airflow requirements
When you install the router in a cabinet, you must ensure that ventilation through
the cabinet is sufficient to prevent overheating. Consider the following
requirements to when planning for chassis cooling:
Airflow must always be from front to back with respect to the rack. If the device
•
has side to rear airflow, then provisions must be made to ensure that fresh air
from the front of the rack is supplied to the inlets, and exhaust exits the rear
of the rack. The device must not interfere with the cooling of other systems
in the rack. Fillers must be used as appropriate in the rack to ensure there is
no recirculation of heated exhaust air back to the front of the rack. Care must
also be taken around cables to ensure no leakage of air in situations where
recirculation may result.
Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit from the
•
cabinet without recirculating into the router. An open cabinet (without a top
or doors) that employs hot air exhaust extraction from the top allows the best
airflow through the chassis. If the cabinet contains a top or doors, perforations
in these elements assist with removing the hot air exhaust. For an illustration
of chassis airflow, see Figure 27 on page 79.
Ensure that the cool air supply you provide through the cabinet can adequately
•
dissipate the thermal output of the router.
Route and dress all cables to minimize the blockage of airflow to and from the
•
chassis.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper
•
clearance around the router and rack as specified in “MX5, MX10, MX40, and
MX80 Routers Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance”
on page 77.
Install the router as close as possible to the front of the cabinet so that the
•
chassis just clears the inside of the front door. This maximizes the clearance in
the rear of the cabinet for critical airflow.

You can find information about the pluggable transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device
by using the Hardware Compatibility Tool. In addition to transceiver and connector type, the optical and
cable characteristics—where applicable—are documented for each transceiver. The Hardware Compatibility
Tool allows you to search by product, displaying all the transceivers supported on that device, or category,
displaying all the transceivers by interface speed or type. The Hardware Compatibility Tool is located at
https://apps.juniper.net/hct/.
Some transceivers support additional monitoring using the operational mode CLI command show interfacesdiagnostics optics. Use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to determine if your transceiver supports
monitoring. See the Junos OS documentation for your device for a description of the monitoring fields.
CAUTION: If you face a problem running a Juniper Networks device that uses a
third-party optic or cable, the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC)
can help you diagnose the source of the problem. Your JTAC engineer might recommend
that you check the third-party optic or cable and potentially replace it with an equivalent
Juniper Networks optic or cable that is qualified for the device.
Fiber-Optic Cable Signal Loss, Attenuation, and Dispersion
IN THIS SECTION
Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cable | 81
81
Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable | 81
Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cable
Multimode fiber is large enough in diameter to allow rays of light to reflect internally (bounce off the walls
of the fiber). Interfaces with multimode optics typically use LEDs as light sources. However, LEDs are not
coherent sources. They spray varying wavelengths of light into the multimode fiber, which reflects the
light at different angles. Light rays travel in jagged lines through a multimode fiber, causing signal dispersion.
When light traveling in the fiber core radiates into the fiber cladding, higher-order mode loss results.
Together these factors limit the transmission distance of multimode fiber compared with single-mode
fiber.
Single-mode fiber is so small in diameter that rays of light can reflect internally through one layer only.
Interfaces with single-mode optics use lasers as light sources. Lasers generate a single wavelength of light,
which travels in a straight line through the single-mode fiber. Compared with multimode fiber, single-mode
fiber has higher bandwidth and can carry signals for longer distances.
Exceeding the maximum transmission distances can result in significant signal loss, which causes unreliable
transmission.
Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable
Correct functioning of an optical data link depends on modulated light reaching the receiver with enough
power to be demodulated correctly. Attenuation is the reduction in power of the light signal as it is
transmitted. Attenuation is caused by passive media components, such as cables, cable splices, and
connectors. Although attenuation is significantly lower for optical fiber than for other media, it still occurs
in both multimode and single-mode transmission. An efficient optical data link must have enough light
available to overcome attenuation.
Dispersion is the spreading of the signal over time. The following two types of dispersion can affect an
optical data link:
Chromatic dispersion—Spreading of the signal over time resulting from the different speeds of light rays.
•
Modal dispersion—Spreading of the signal over time resulting from the different propagation modes in
•
the fiber.
For multimode transmission, modal dispersion, rather than chromatic dispersion or attenuation, usually
limits the maximum bit rate and link length. For single-mode transmission, modal dispersion is not a factor.
However, at higher bit rates and over longer distances, chromatic dispersion rather than modal dispersion
limits maximum link length.
An efficient optical data link must have enough light to exceed the minimum power that the receiver
requires to operate within its specifications. In addition, the total dispersion must be less than the limits
specified for the type of link in Telcordia Technologies document GR-253-CORE (Section 4.3) and
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) document G.957.
82
When chromatic dispersion is at the maximum allowed, its effect can be considered as a power penalty in
the power budget. The optical power budget must allow for the sum of component attenuation, power
penalties (including those from dispersion), and a safety margin for unexpected losses.
Calculating Power Budget and Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables
Use the information in this topic and the specifications for your optical interface to calculate the power
budget and power margin for fiber-optic cables.
TIP: You can use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to find information about the pluggable
transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device.
To calculate the power budget and power margin, perform the following tasks:
1.
How to Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cable | 83
2.
How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cable | 83
How to Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cable
To ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation, you need to calculate
the link's power budget, which is the maximum amount of power it can transmit. When you calculate the
power budget, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin of error, even though all the parts of an
actual system do not operate at the worst-case levels. To calculate the worst-case estimate of power
budget (PB), you assume minimum transmitter power (PT) and minimum receiver sensitivity (PR):
83
PB= PT– P
R
The following hypothetical power budget equation uses values measured in decibels (dB) and decibels
referred to one milliwatt (dBm):
PB= PT– P
R
PB= –15 dBm – (–28 dBm)
PB= 13 dB
How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cable
After calculating a link's power budget, you can calculate the power margin (PM), which represents the
amount of power available after subtracting attenuation or link loss (LL) from the power budget (PB). A
worst-case estimate of PMassumes maximum LL:
PM= PB– LL
PMgreater than zero indicates that the power budget is sufficient to operate the receiver.
Factors that can cause link loss include higher-order mode losses, modal and chromatic dispersion,
connectors, splices, and fiber attenuation. Table 37 on page 83 lists an estimated amount of loss for the
factors used in the following sample calculations. For information about the actual amount of signal loss
caused by equipment and other factors, refer to vendor documentation.

84
Fiber attenuation
Single mode—0.5 dB/km
Multimode—1 dB/km
The following sample calculation for a 2-km-long multimode link with a power budget (PB) of 13 dB uses
the estimated values from Table 37 on page 83 to calculate link loss (LL) as the sum of fiber attenuation
(2 km @ 1 dB/km, or 2 dB) and loss for five connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 2.5 dB) and two splices
(0.5 dB per splice, or 1 dB) as well as higher-order mode losses (0.5 dB). The power margin (PM) is calculated
as follows:
PM= PB– LL
PM= 13 dB – 2 km (1 dB/km) – 5 (0.5 dB) – 2 (0.5 dB) – 0.5 dB
PM= 13 dB – 2 dB – 2.5 dB – 1 dB – 0.5 dB
PM= 7 dB
The following sample calculation for an 8-km-long single-mode link with a power budget (PB) of 13 dB
uses the estimated values from Table 37 on page 83 to calculate link loss (LL) as the sum of fiber attenuation
(8 km @ 0.5 dB/km, or 4 dB) and loss for seven connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 3.5 dB). The power
margin (PM) is calculated as follows:
PM= PB– LL
PM= 13 dB – 8 km (0.5 dB/km) – 7(0.5 dB)
PM= 13 dB – 4 dB – 3.5 dB
PM= 5.5 dB
In both examples, the calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient
power for transmission and does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.

Installing MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Chassis in the Rack
To install the router in the rack (see Figure 31 on page 97 and Figure 32 on page 97):
CAUTION: If you are installing more than one router in a rack, install the lowest one
first. Installing a router in an upper position in a rack or cabinet requires a lift.
96
CAUTION: Before front mounting the router in a rack, have a qualified technician
verify that the rack is strong enough to support the router's weight and is adequately
supported at the installation site.
CAUTION: Lifting the chassis and mounting it in a rack requires two people (one person
to hold the router in place and a second person to install the screws). The chassis
weighs approximately 30 lb (13.6 kg).
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.
2. Position the router in front of the rack or cabinet.
3. Hold onto the bottom of the chassis and carefully lift it so that the mounting brackets contact the rack
rails.
WARNING: To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not
your back. Avoid twisting your body as you lift. Balance the load evenly and be sure
that your footing is solid.

5. Install a mounting screw into each of the open mounting holes aligned with the rack, starting from the
bottom.
6. 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.

Grounding and Power Connections
To ground and provide power to the router, you need the following tools and parts:
Phillips (+) screwdrivers, numbers 1 and 2
•
2.5-mm flat-blade (–) screwdriver
•
Torque-controlled driver, with a maximum torque capacity of 6 lb-in., for tightening screws to terminals
•
on each power supply on a DC-powered router
CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the terminal screws on the DC power
supply is 6 lb-in. (0.7 Nm). The terminal screws may be damaged if excessive torque
is applied. Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten screws on the DC power
supply terminals. Use an appropriately sized driver, with a maximum torque capacity
of 6 lb-in. or less. Ensure that the driver is undamaged and properly calibrated and
that you have been trained in its use. You may wish to use a driver that is designed
to prevent overtorque when the preset torque level is achieved.
You ground the router by connecting a grounding cable to earth ground and then attaching it to the chassis
grounding points using two SAE 10-32 screws. You must provide the grounding cables (the cable lugs are
supplied with the router). For grounding cable specifications, see “MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router
Grounding Specifications” on page 73. To ground the router:
1. Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug provided with the router to the grounding
cable.
2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to
an approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
3. Ensure that all grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright finish before grounding connections
are made.
4. Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
5. Detach the ESD grounding strap from the site ESD grounding point.
6. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other
end of the strap to an ESD point.
7. Place the grounding cable lug over the grounding points on the upper rear of the chassis (see
Figure 33 on page 100).
8. Secure the grounding cable lug with the screws. The holes are sized for SAE 10-32 screws.

9. Dress the grounding cable, and verify that it does not touch or block access to router components, and
that it does not drape where people could trip on it.

Connecting Power to an AC-Powered MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 Router
CAUTION: Do not mix AC and DC power supply modules within the same router.
Damage to the router might occur.
You connect AC power to the router by attaching power cords from the AC power sources to the AC
appliance inlets located on the power supplies.
To connect the AC power cords to the router for each power supply:
1. Locate power cords that have a plug appropriate for your geographic location. For more information,
see “Connecting an MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 AC Power Supply Cord” on page 143.
2. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other
end of the strap to an ESD point.
3. Move the AC input switch next to the appliance inlet on the power supply to the off (O) position.
4. Connect the power cord to the power supply.
