IN THIS SECTION

Rack-Mounting Requirements | 3

Tools Required to Unpack and Install the PTX3000 | 6

Before installing the PTX3000, make sure that the site meets all the power, environmental, and clearance
requirements. See the site preparation guidelines in the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router Hardware Guide.

Rack-Mounting Requirements

You can install the PTX3000 in many types of racks, including a four-post rack or cabinet or an open-frame
rack:

The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the chassis's external dimensions: 38.5 in.

•

(97.8 cm) high, 8.7 in. (22.1 cm) deep, and 17.6 in. (44.7 cm) wide. The cable management system on the

front of the chassis adds 1.9 in. (4.8 cm) to the depth, for a total depth of 10.6 in. (26.9 cm). The outer
edges of the mounting brackets extend the width to 19 in. (48.3 cm).

The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured PTX3000, up to about

•

310 lb (140.6 kg).

You must allow sufficient clearance around the rack:

For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted.

•

For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be adequate space at the

•

front of the chassis. At least 24 in. (61.0 cm) is required in front of the PTX3000. NEBS GR-63 recommends
that you allow at least 30 in. (72.6 cm) in front of the rack.

Additional clearance is required to accommodate the depth of the cable management system:

•

1.9 in. (4.8 cm) additional depth in the front of the chassis.

The compact form-factor of the chassis allows up to four PTX3000 routers to be installed in a single

•

four-post rack. For all configurations, there must be at least 10 in. (25.4 cm) between the PTX3000 and
neighboring devices to the side, and there must be no obstruction above the chassis that prevents airflow.
Depending on your installation, the required clearance at the rear of the chassis varies:

4

A standalone PTX3000 requires 2 in. (5.1 cm) of clearance at the rear (see Figure 1 on page 5).

•

Two PTX3000 routers installed back-to-back require 4 in. (10.2 cm) of clearance between the routers

•

at the rear.

Four PTX3000 routers installed back-to-back and stacked in a single rack require 10 in. (25.4 cm) of

•

clearance between the routers at the rear (see Figure 2 on page 6).

NOTE: These requirements have been designed to provide adequate cooling in deployments

with ambient temperatures up to 104°F (40°C).

Connect PIC Cables to the PTX3000

The PTX3000 supports PICs and IPLCs that use various kinds of network cable, including multimode and
single-mode fiber-optic cable. For information about the type of cable used by each PIC, see the PTX Series
Interface Module Reference.

You connect the IPLCs to compatible PICs/MICs (see PTX Series IPLC Compatibility), or to other IPLCs, or
to the optical inline amplifier (ILA).

You connect PICs to the network by plugging in network cable. To connect cable to compatible PICs or
IPLCs (see Figure 12 on page 21):

1. To connect the PTX3000 to external devices, you need the following:

The required length of the type of cable used by the PIC. See the PTX Series Interface Module Reference.

•

Number 1 Phillips (+) screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on the cable management system.

2. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.

CAUTION: During the initial installation before the chassis is grounded, you must

connect the wrist strap to an approved site ESD point. See the instructions for your
site.

3. If the PIC cable connector port is covered by a rubber safety plug, remove the plug. The IPLC ports
have an attached cover for the connector.

WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of

fiber-optic cable. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting

or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental
exposure to laser light.

4. Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the PIC or IPLC faceplate. See

Figure 12 on page 21 and Figure 13 on page 22.

5. Using a number 1 Phillips (+) screwdriver, loosen the two inner captive screws on the upper or lower
cable management system. Move the cover of the upper cable management system up
(Figure 14 on page 22). Move the cover of the lower cable management system down
(Figure 15 on page 22).

6. Arrange the cable in the cable management system to prevent it from dislodging or developing stress
points (Figure 16 on page 23). Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own weight as it hangs
to the floor.

CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc

smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that
are difficult to diagnose.

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.

CAUTION: One input on each DC PSM must be powered by dedicated power feeds

derived from feed A, and the other input on each PSM must be powered by dedicated
power feeds derived from feed B.

This configuration provides the commonly deployed A/B feed redundancy for the
system. For example, you can connect input 1 on each DC PSM to feed A, and input

2 on each DC PSM to feed B.

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.

29

Secure the positive (+) DC source power cable lugs to the RTN (return) terminals with a nut for each
terminal. Use a 10-mm nut driver to tighten the nuts.

CAUTION: You must use an appropriate torque-controlled tool to tighten the nuts.

After powering on a power supply, you must wait at least 60 seconds before powering it off.

9. Verify that the OK LED on the AC PSM faceplate is lit steadily, indicating that power supply is correctly
installed, functioning properly, and providing power to the outputs.

10. On the external management device connected to the PTX3000, monitor the startup process to verify
that the system has booted properly.

11. Repeat Step 8 and Step 9 for the other PSMs.

Power On the DC-Powered PTX3000

To power on a DC-powered PTX3000:

NOTE: After powering off a power supply, you must wait at least 60 seconds before powering it

on again.

1. Verify that the power supply modules (PSMs) are fully inserted in the chassis and that the captive screw
on the faceplate of each PSM is tightened.

2. Verify that the DC power cables are connected correctly.

3. Verify that an external management device is connected to one of the Routing Engine ports on the
Control Board or the Routing and Control Board (RCB). The auxiliary ports are labeled AUX and the
management console ports are labeled CON.

34

NOTE: The management Ethernet port labeled HOST/ETHERNET on the Control Board and

MGT on the RCB are not available until after the initial software configuration. You can monitor

the startup process during the initial installation by using devices connected to the AUX or CON
ports.

4. Turn on the power to the external management device.

5. Switch on the customer-site circuit breakers to provide voltage to the DC power source cables. Follow
your site’s procedures.

6. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to
the ESD point on the chassis.

7. Verify that the input 1 and input 2 LEDs on the PSM faceplate are lit steadily green, indicating that the
inputs are receiving input voltage.

8. Switch the power switch on one PSM to the on position (|).

NOTE: After a PSM is powered on, it can take up to 60 seconds for status indicators—such as

the LEDs on the PSMs and the command output displays—to indicate that the PSMs are
functioning normally. Ignore error indicators that appear during the first 60 seconds.

NOTE: The Routing Engine or the RCB—depending on your configuration—boots as the PSM

completes its startup sequence. If the Routing Engine or RCB finishes booting and you need to
power off the system, see Powering Off the PTX3000 in the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router

Hardware Guide.

After powering on a power supply, you must wait at least 60 seconds before powering it off.

9. Verify that the OK LED on the PSM faceplate is lit steadily and that the LED is off, indicating that
the PSM is correctly installed and is functioning properly.

35

NOTE: If the OK LED is not light steadily, remove the PSM, repeat the cabling procedure, and

reinstall the PSM into the PTX3000.

10. On the external management device connected to the PTX3000, monitor the startup process to verify
that the system has booted properly.

11. Repeat Step 8 and Step 9 for the other PSMs.

Step 9: Install the Front Doors on the PTX3000

Front doors are installed over the card cage that contains the components in the chassis. Each PTX3000
is shipped with two front doors, one door for each card cage. Captive thumbscrews secure the door to
the chassis.

To install an upper or lower card front door on a PTX3000 (see Figure 27 on page 37):

1. Gather the following tools:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap

•

Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2

•

2. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.

CAUTION: During the initial installation before the chassis is grounded, you must

connect the wrist strap to an approved site ESD point. See the instructions for your
site.

36

3. Place the door over the appropriate card cage in the chassis.

4. Using your fingers, loosely tighten the thumbscrews on each side of the door.

5. Tighten the screws completely by using a number 2 Phillips (+) screwdriver to secure the door to the
chassis.

NOTE: If you must return the chassis to Juniper Networks for any reason, you must remove

the front doors from the chassis. See Packing the PTX3000 for Shipment in the PTX3000 Packet

Transport Router Hardware Guide.

Step 10: Perform the PTX3000 Initial Software Configuration

These procedures connect a PTX3000 to the network but do not enable it to forward traffic. For complete
information about enabling the PTX3000 to forward traffic, including examples, see the Junos OS
configuration guides.

You configure the PTX3000 by issuing Junos OS CLI commands, either on a console device attached to
the CON port, or over a Telnet connection to a network connected to the management Ethernet port.

NOTE: These procedures enable you to use the management Ethernet port. For the initial

configuration, use a device attached to the CON port.

Configure System Attributes

39

1. Configure the name of the PTX3000. If the name includes spaces, enclose the name in quotation marks
(“ ”).

[edit]
root@# set system host-name host-name

NOTE: The DNS server does not use the hostname to resolve to the correct IP address. This

hostname is used to display the name of the device in the CLI. For example, this hostname is
displayed on the command-line prompt when the user is logged in to the CLI:

user-name@host-name>

2. Configure the IP address of the DNS server.

[edit]
root# set system name-server address

3. Configure the domain name of the PTX3000.

[edit]

root@# set system domain-name domain-name

4. Configure the IP address and prefix length for the PTX3000 router’s management Ethernet interface.

[edit]
root@# set interfaces em0 unit 0 family inet address address/prefix-length

5. Configure the IP address of a backup router. The backup router allows the PTX3000 to install a route
to the management network while the Routing Engine or RCB is booting and before the routing protocol
process (rpd) is up and running. The backup router must be directly connected—that is, on the same
subnet—through the management Ethernet interface.

[edit]
root@# set system backup-router address

40

6. (Optional) Configure the static routes to remote subnets with access to the management port. Access
to the management port is limited to the local subnet. To access the management port from a remote
subnet, you must add a static route to that subnet within the routing table.

[edit]
root@# set routing-options static route remote-subnet next-hop destination-IP retain no-readvertise

7. Configure the Telnet service at the [edit system services] hierarchy level.

[edit]
root@# set system services telnet

Safety Warnings

WARNING: See installation instructions before connecting the PTX3000. This is a

summary of safety warnings. For a complete list of warnings for the PTX3000, including
translations, see the PTX3000 Packet Transport Router Hardware Guide at

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/.

WARNING: The intrabuilding ports of the equipment or subassembly are suitable for

connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intrabuilding ports
of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces
that connect to the Outside Plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for
use as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089) and
require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is
not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

42

WARNING: The network device has more than one power supply connection. All

connections must be removed completely to remove power from the unit completely.

Attention Cette unité est équipée de plusieurs raccordements d'alimentation. Pour
supprimer tout courant électrique de l'unité, tous les cordons d'alimentation doivent être
débranchés.

CAUTION: Before removing or installing components of a PTX3000, attach an ESD strap

to an ESD point, and place the other end of the strap around your bare wrist. Failure to
use an ESD strap could result in damage to the router.

CAUTION: Use an external surge protective device (SPD) at the AC input of the router.

Only trained and qualified personnel must install or replace the PTX3000.

•

•

When mounting the PTX3000 in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the

•

heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the

•

PTX3000 in the rack.

When removing or installing an electrical component, always place it component-side up on a flat

•

antistatic surface or in an electrostatic bag.

43

When you install the PTX3000, always make the ground connection first and disconnect it last.

•

Wire the DC power distribution unit by using the appropriate lugs. When connecting power, the proper

•

wiring sequence is ground to ground, +RTN to +RTN, and then –48 V to –48 V. When disconnecting
power, the proper wiring sequence is –48 V to –48 V, +RTN to +RTN, and then ground to ground. Always
connect the ground wire first and disconnect it last.

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during electrical storms.

•

Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry, including rings, necklaces,

•

and watches. Metal objects heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns
or become welded to the terminals.

Failure to observe these safety warnings can result in serious physical injury.
