c.Other Juniper documentation for the Software (such as product purchase docu me nts, documents accompanying the product, t he
Software user manual(s), Juniper’s website for the Software, or messages displayed by the Software) may spe cify limits to Customer’s use of the
Software. Such limits m ay restrict use to a maximum number of seats, co ncur rent users, sessions, subscribers, nodes, or transactions, or
require the purchase of separate licenses to us e particular features, functionalities, or capabilities, or provide temporal or geographical limits.
Customer’s use of the Software shall be subject to all such limitations and purchase of all applicable licenses.
The foregoing license is not transferable or a ssignable by C us tomer. No license is granted herein to any user wh o did not or iginally purchase

discussing the following topics:

Safety Requirements, Warnings, and Guidelines on page 5
System Description
The M160 Internet router is a complete routing system that provides
SONET/SDH, ATM, Ethernet , and channelized interfaces for large networks
and network applications, such as those supported by Internet service
providers (ISPs). Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), a definitive
part of the router design, enable the router to forward data at the high
speeds demanded by current network media.
The router accommodates up to eight Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs), which can
each be configured with a variety of network media types, altogether providing up to
32 OC-12/STM-4, 32 OC-48/STM-16, or eight OC-192/STM-64 ports per system. The
router height of 35 in. (89 cm) enables stacked installation of two M160 systems in
a single floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of floor space.
The router’s maximum aggregate throughput is 160 gigabits per second (Gbps)
simplex or 80 Gbps full duplex. The router provides very high throughput for
any combination of Physical Interface Cards (PICs) that does not exceed 3
Gbps on an FPC1 or 10 Gbps on an FPC2. A combination that exceeds these
numbers is supported, but constitutes oversubscription.
The router architecture cleanly separates control operations from packet forwarding
operations, which helps to eliminate processing and traffic bottlenecks. Control
operations in the rout er are performed by the Routing Engine, which runs
JUNOS Internet software to handle routing protocols, traffic engineering, policy,
policing, monitoring, and configuration management. Forwarding operations
in the router are performed by t he Packet Forwarding Engine, which consists
of hardware , including ASICs, designed by Juniper Networks.
System Description3
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs)
Field-replaceable units (FRUs) are router components that can be replaced at
the customer site. Replacing most FRUs requires minimal router downtime.
The router uses the following types of FRUs:
Hot-removableandhot-insertableFRUs—Youcanremoveandreplacethese
components without powering down the router or disrupting the routing
functions.
Hot-pluggable FRUs—You can remove and replace these components without
powering down the router, but the routing functions of the system are
interrupted when the component is removed.
Table 4 lists the FRUs for the M160 router.

For FRU replacement instructions, see “Replacing Hardware

System Redundancy
The router is designed so that no single point of failure can cause the entire system
to fail. The following hardware components contribute to system redundancy:

4System Redundancy
Cooling system—When the temperature inside the router is below the
acceptable maximum, the cooling system’s components function at less than
full speed. If the temperature becomes excessive—for example, because a
cooling system component is removed—the MCS automatically increases the
speed of the remaining components t o reduce the temperature. The cooling
System Overview
system can function at the higher speed indefinitely. For more information,
see Cooling System on page 39.
Host module (Routing Engine and MCS functioning together)—The router
can have one or two host modules. If two host modules are installed, one
(the master) is active and the other is in standby mode. If the master host
module (or either of its components) is removed from the chassis, the standby
host module becomes active. The Routing Engine and MCS must reside in
adjacent slots and be fully operational for the host module to function. For
more information, see Host Module on page 22.
PCG—The router has two PCGs. Both PCGs send their clock s ignals to the
other Packet Forwarding Engine components, along with a signal that indicates
which clock is the master. If one PCG fails, the other PCG becomes the master
system clock. For more information, see “Packet Forwarding Engine Clock
Generators (PCGs)” on page 18.
Power supply—The router has two load-sharing, fully redundant power
supplies to distribute DC power to the other components. If one power
supply fails, the second power supply can provide full power to the router’s
components indefinitely. For more information, see Power System on page 35.
SFM—The router can have up to fo ur interconnected SFMs. If one SFM fails,
the switching and forwarding functions of the failed module are distributed
among the remaining SFMs. Total bandwidth is reduced by 1/ n ,where n is
the total number of SFMs installed in the router. For example, in a system with
four S FMs, each SFM provides one-fourth of the forwarding capacity. For more
information, see “Switching and Forwarding Module (SFM)” on page 19.
In the base configuration, the router has one host module and multiple SFMs,
PCGs, power supplies, and cooling system components.
Safety Requirements, Warnings, and Guidelines
To avoid harm to yourself or the router as you install and maintain it, you need
to follow the guidelines for working with and near electrical equipment, as well
as the safety procedures for working with Internet routers. For a discussion of
how to make the installation site a safe environment, see “Preparing for Router
Installation” on page 59. For a list of safety warnings, see “Safety and Regulatory
Compliance Information” on page 221 and particularly “Electrical Safety Guidelines
and Warnings” on page 227. However, pr oviding an exhaustive set of guidelines
for working with electrical equipment is beyond the scope of this manual.
