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.

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.

Chassis
The router chassis is a rigid sheet metal structure that houses the other
hardware components. The chassis is 1 7.5 in. (44.5 cm) wide and 29 in.
(73.6 cm) deep. The chassis height of 35 in. (89 cm) enables stacked
installation of two M160 routers in a single floor-to-ceiling rack. For more
information, see Rack Requirements on page 59.
The two front support posts and center-mounting brackets (one on each
side) extend the chassis width to 19 in. (48.3 cm) and enable installation
into either a front-mount or a center-mount rack.
Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3 show three views of the router chassis.

Hardware Component Overview
Packet Forwarding Engine
The Packet Forwarding Engine is a multicomponent system that uses
application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to perform Layer 2 and Layer 3
packet switching, route lookups, and packet forwarding. The ASICs include the
Distributed Buffer Manager ASIC, Internet Processor II ASIC, I/O Manager ASIC,
Packet Director ASIC, and media-specific controller ASICs.
Midplane—Physically separates front and rear cavities inside the chassis,
distributes power from the power supplies, and transfers packets and signals
between router components, which plug into it.
Physical Interface Card (PIC)—Physically connects the router to network media
such as OC-12/STM-4, OC-48/STM-16, Ethernet, and channelized interfaces.
PICs are housed in Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs). (Quad-wide PICs, such
as the OC-192/STM-64 SONET/SDH PIC, are exceptions. Such PICs occupy

an entire FPC slot in the chassis and insert directly into the slot rather than
into an FPC card carrier.)
Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC)—Processes incoming and outgoing packets.
Up to eight FPCs plug into the midplane from the front of the chassis. Each
FPC accommodates up to four PICs.
Packet Forwarding Engine Clock Generator (PCG)—Sends clock signals to
the other Packet Forwarding Engine components. Two PCGs plug into the
midplane from the rear of the chassis.
Switching and Forwarding Module (SFM)—Performs route lookup, filtering, and
switching. Up to four SFMs plug into the midplane from the rear of the chassis.

The midplane is a panel located in the center of the chassis, running from side
to side and forming the rear of the FPC card cage (see Figure 4). All router
components other than PICs plug directly into the midplane. The midplane contains
an EEPROM that stores the serial number and revision level of the midplane.

Physical Interface Cards (PICs)
Physical Interface Cards (PICs) physically connect the router to network
media. They are housed in Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs); for more
information about FPCs, see “Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs)” on page
14. (Quad-wide PICs, such as the OC-192/STM-64 SONET/SDH PIC, are
exceptions. Such PICs occupy an entire FPC slot in the chassis and insert
directly into the slot rather than into an FPC card carrier.)
PICs receive i ncoming packets from the network and transmit outgoing p ackets
to the network, performing framing and line-speed signaling for their media
type as required. PICs also encapsulate outgoing packets received from the
FPCs bef ore transmitting them. The controller ASIC on each PIC performs
additional control functions specific to the PIC media type.
The router supports various PICs, including ATM, Channelized, Gigabit
Ethernet, IP Services, and SONET/SDH interfaces. For complete PIC
specifications, see the M160 Internet Router PIC Guide.
1171
Packet Forwarding Engine13
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
Some PICs, such as selected Gigabit Ethernet PICs, accept small form factor
pluggables (SFPs), which are fiber-optic transceivers that can be removed from
the PIC. Various SFPs have different reach characteristics. You can mix them in
a single PIC and change the combination dynamically. SFPs are hot-removable
and hot-insertable, as described in Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs) on page 4. For
SFP replacement instructions, see “Replace an SFP” on page 190. For information
about PICs that use SFPs, see the M160 Internet Router PIC Guide.
You can install up to four PICs in an FPC. The number of ports on a PIC
depends on the type of PIC. PICs are hot-removable and hot-insertable, as
described in Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs) on page 4. For PIC replacement
instructions, see “Replacing a PIC” on page 179.
PIC Components
Most PICs supported on the M160 router have the following components. For
complete specifications, see the M160 Internet Router PIC Guide. For information
about pinouts for PIC cable connectors, see “Cable Connector Pinouts” on page 269.
One or more cable connector ports—Accept a network media connector.
LEDs—Indicate PIC and port status. Most PICs have an LED labeled STATUS on
the PIC faceplate. Some PICs have additional LEDs, often one per port. The
meaning of the LED states differs for v arious PICs. For more information, see
the M160 Internet Router PIC Guide.
Offline button—Prepares the PIC for removal from the FPC when pressed. For
the PICs that install on an FPC1, the offline button for each PIC is next to it on
the FPC card carrier. For the PICs that install on an FPC2, the offline button is
onthePICfaceplate. SeeFigure6.
Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs)
Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs) house the PICs that connect the router to network
media (for information about PICs, see “Physical Interface Cards (PICs)” on page
13). The main function of an FPC is to connect the PICs installed in it to the other
router components. An I/O Manager ASIC on the FPC divides each incoming data
packet into 64-byte cells and passes the cells through the midplane to the SFM,
where another ASIC decides how to distribute them among the memory buffers
located on and shared by all installed FPCs. After the SFM decides how to forward a
packet, an I/O Manager ASIC on the FPC reassembles the corresponding data cells
back into network-packet form and passes the packet to the appropriate PIC for
transmission to the network. For more information, see “Data Flow through the
Packet Forwarding Engine” on page 52.
Up to eight FPCs install vertically into the midplane from the front of the
chassis. The FPC slots are numbered from
accommodates up to four PICs. The PIC slots in each FPC are numbered from
0 (zero) through 3, top to bottom. An FPC can be installed into any FPC slot,
regardless of the PICs it contains, and any combination of slots can be used. If a

FPC Components
An FPC has the following components:
FPC card carrier—Houses the ASICs, connectors, and processor subsystem.
Four I/O Manager ASICs—Parse Layer 2 and Layer 3 data and perform
encapsulation and segmentation. The I/O Manager ASICs divide incoming
packets into 64-byte data cells for easier processing, and reassemble the cells
for each packet after the forwarding decision is made for it. Enhanced FPCs
have I/O Manager ASICs capable of enhanced quality of service.
Two Packet Director ASICs—Transfer packets between the PICs and the I/O
Manager ASICs: one directs incoming packets from the PICs to the I/O
Manager ASICs, while the second directs outgoing packets from the I/O
Manager ASICs to the PICs.
Eight identical synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs)—Form the memory pool shared with the other FPCs installed
in the router.
Parity-protectedsynchronousSRAM(SSRAM)—Storesdatastructuresused
by the I/O Manager ASICs.
Processor subsystem—Manages packet handling in the FPC and
communication with the SFM. It is a PowerPC 603e-based CPU with
parity-protected DRAM.
EEPROM—Stores the serial number and revision level of the FPC.
Two LEDs—Indicate FPC status. The LED labeled OK is green and the one
labeled
FAIL is red. The LEDs for each FPC are located on the router craft
interface. For more information, see “FPC LEDs and Offline Button” on
page 31.
Offline button—Prepares the FPC for removal from the router when pressed.
Like the LEDs, an offline button is located on the craft interface. For more
information, see “FPC LEDs and Offline Button” on page 31.
Four PIC offline buttons (on FPC1 only)—Prepare each corresponding PIC
for removal from the FPC.
Ejector levers—Control the locking system that secures the FPC in the card
cage.
NOTE: For specific information about FPC components (for example, the amount of
memory available), issue the

Hardware Component Overview
FPC Types
The router supports two types of FPC, shown in Figure 6:
FPC1 (standard or enhanced)—Supports PICs including single-port
OC-12/STM-4 and Gigabit Ethernet.
FPC2 (standard or enhanced)—Supports higher-speed PICs including
OC-48/STM-16 and Tunnel services.
You can install any combination of FPC types together on the router .
FPCs are hot-removable and hot-insertable, as described in Field-Replaceable Units
(FRUs) on page 4. When you remove or install an FPC, packet forwarding halts

the amount of memory available in the p ool located on and shared by all FPCs.
When you install an FPC into a functioning router, the Routing Engine downloads
the FPC software, the FPC runs its diagnostics, and the PICs housed on the FPC
are enabled. Forwarding continues uninterrupted during this process. For FPC
replacement instructions, see “Replacing an FPC” on page 169.
Enhanced FPCs have I/O Manager ASICs capable of enhanced quality of
service, and 2 MB of SSRAM. Enhanced FPCs can be identified through
theCLI,orbyastickeronthefaceplate.
The PICs that install on both types of FPC are also hot-removable and hot-insertable.

Packet Forwarding Engine Clock Generators (PCGs)
The router has two Packet Forwarding Engine Clock Generators (PCGs) installed
in the slots at the rear of the chassis that ar e labeled
in Figure 3. The PCGs generate a 125-MHz clock signal used to gate packet
processing. During startup, the active Routing Engine determines which PCG is
master and which is backup, and the MCS relays the decision to the PCGs and to
themodulesandASICsinthePacketForwardingEnginethatusetheclocksignal.
The modules and ASICs then use only the signal from the master source.
PCGs are hot-pluggable, as described in Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs) on page 4.
Removal or failure of the backup PCG does not affect router function. When the
master PCG fails or is r emoved from the chassis, however, the Packet Forwarding
Engine resets so that the components start using the signal from the other PCG
(which becomes the master). Packet forwarding halts while there is no clock signal,
because the Packet Forwarding Engine does not accept incoming packets. For
PCG replacement instructions, see “Replacing a PCG” on page 176.

Switching and Forwarding Module (SFM)
The Switching and Forwarding Module (SFM) performs route lookup,
filtering, and switching on incoming data packets, then directs outbound
packets to the appropriate FPC for transmission to the network. It can
process 40 million packets per second (Mpps).
Up to four SFMs can be installed in the router, processing a total of 160 Mpps.
The SFMs are hot-pluggable , as described in Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs) on
page 4. Removing or inserting an SFM causes a brief interruption in forwarding
performance (about 500 ms) as the Packet Forwarding Engine reconfigures
the distribution of packets across the remaining SFMs.

For SFM replacement instructions, see “Replacing an SFM” on page 188.
Packet Forwarding Engine19
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
The SFM communicates with the Routing Engine using a dedicated 100-Mbps Fast
Ethernet link that transfers routing table data from the Routing Engine to the
forwarding table in the Internet Processor II ASIC. The link is a lso used to transfer
from the SFM to the Routing Engine routing link-state updates and other packets
destined for the router that have been received through the router interfaces.
The ASICs and other components on the SFM provide the following functions:
Route lookups—The Internet Processor II ASIC on each SFM performs route
lookups using the forwarding table stored in SSRAM.
Management of shared memory on the FPCs—One Distributed Buffer Manager
ASIC receives the 64-byte data cells into which the I/O Manager ASICs on each
FPC divide incoming packets, and uniformly a llocates them throughout the
shared memory buffers located on the FPCs.
Transfer of outgoing data packets—The second Distributed Buffer Manager
ASIC passes notification of the forwarding decision for each packet to an I/O
Manager ASIC so that data cells for the outgoing packet can be reassembled
for transmission to the network.
Transfer of exception and control packets—The Internet Processor II ASIC
passes exception packets to the microprocessor on the SFM, which processes
almost all of them. The SFM sends any remaining exception packets to
the Routing Engine for further processing. When the SFM detects an error
originating i n t he Packet Forwarding Engine, it sends it to the Routing Engine
using system logging (syslog) messages.

Host Module
The host module constructs routing tables, performs system management
functions, and generates the SONET/SDH clock signal for SONET/SDH interfaces. It
consists of a paired Routing Engine and Miscellaneous Control Subsystem (MCS).
For a host module to function, both of its components—Routing Engine and
MCS—must be installed and operational. One or two host modules can be installed

If two host modules are installed, both are powered on, but only one is active (the
master); the second host module is in standby mode and performs no functions.
By default, the master host module is the one with components installed in the
RE 0 and MCS 0 slots. To change the default master Routing Engine, include the
appropriate
[edit chassis redundancy routing-engine] statement in the configuration, as
described in the section about Routing Engine redundancy in the JUNOS Internet
Software Configuration Guide: Getting Started.
The host module components are h ot-pluggable, as d escribed in Field-Replaceable
Units (FRUs) on page 4. Removal or failure of one or both components in the
standby host module does not affect router function. If one or both components
in the master host module is removed from the chassis, the effect depends on
whether two host modules are installed:
If there is only one host module, packet forwarding halts until both the Routing
Engine and MCS are reinstalled and functioning normally.
If there are two host modules, the effect depends on the software configuration:
If the Routing Engines are running JUNOS Release 6.0 or later and
are configured for graceful switchover, the standby Routing Engine
automatically assumes mastership without interruption of forwarding
performance. For information about configuring graceful switchover, see
the section about Routing Engine redundancy in JUNOS Internet SoftwareConfiguration Guide: Getting Started.
22Host Module
Otherwise, forwarding halts while standby host module becomes the
master and the new master Routing Engine resets the Packet Forwarding
Engine.
Hardware Component Overview
For host module replacement instructions, see “Replacing an MCS” on page 159
and “Replacing a Routing Engine” on page 165.
Note that the effect of a hardware or software failure on one or both components
in the master host module differs from the effect of removing a component that
belongs to the master host module:
With the default router configuration, in case of failure you must
correct the problem manually. You can issue the appropriate
Routing Engine, for example. For information about the command, see the
JUNOS Internet Software Operational Mode Command Reference: Protocols, Class
of Service, Chassis, and Management.
On routers with two installed Routing Engines running JUNOS Rel ease
6.0 or later, you can configure graceful switchover of Routing Engines, as
previously described for the case of Routing Engine removal. When the
standby Routing Engine stops receiving keepalive signals from the master
Routing Engine, it automatically assumes mastership without interruption of
forwarding performance.
Routing Engine
On routers with two installed Routing Engines running any JUNOS release,
you can configure automatic Routing Engine mastership failover. When the
standby Routing Engine stops receiving keepalive signals from the master
Routing Engine, it automatically assumes mastership. Packet forwarding halts
while the Packet Forwarding Engine components reset and connect to the
new master Routing Engine.
For information about configuring graceful switchover or automatic mastership
failover, see the section about Routing Engine redundancy in the JUNOS InternetSoftware Configuration Guide: Getting Started.
For more information about host module components, see the following sections:
Routing Engine on page 23
Miscellaneous Control Subsystem (MCS) on page 25
The Routing Engine is an Intel-based PCI platform that runs JUNOS Internet
software. Software processes that run on the Routing Engine maintain the
routing tables, manage the routing protocols used on the router, control the
router’s interfaces, control some chassis components, and provide the interface
for system management and user access to the router.
For a description of the Routing Engine’s role in router architecture ,
see Routing Engine Architecture on page 53.
One or two host modules (paired Routing Engine and MCS) can be installed
into the midplane from the rear of the chassis, as shown in Figure 3. If two
host modules are installed, the Routing Engines together determine which is

Miscellaneous Control Subsystem (MCS)
The Miscellaneous Control Subsystem (MCS) works with its companion Routing
Engine to provide control and monitoring functions for router components. It also
generates a clock signal for the S ONET/SDH interfaces on the router.
One or two host modules (paired MCS and Routing Engine) can be installed
into the midplane from the rear of the chassis, as shown in Figure 3. Only
one host module is active at a time, with the optional second host module in
standby mode. For more information about host module interdependence
and redundancy, see Host Module on page 22.
The MCS performs the following functions:
Monitoring and control of router components—The MCS collects statistics
from all sensors in the system. When it detects a failure or alarm condition,
it sends a signal to the Routing Engine, which generates control messages

or sets an alarm. The MCS also relays control messages from the Routing
Engine to the router components.
Controlling component power-up and power-down—The MCS controls the
power-up sequence of router components as they start, and powers down
components when their offline buttons are pressed.
Signaling of mastership—In a router with more than one host module, the
MCS signals to all router components which host module is the master and
which is the standby. It relays the mastership signal for the two PCGs as well.
Providing SONET/SDH clock source—The MCS generates a 19.44-MHz
SONET/SDH clock signal, along with a signal that indicates which MCS is the
master SONET/SDH clock generator (if two MCSs are installed).
Clock monitoring—The MCS monitors the PCG system clock and its
SONET/SDH clock to verify that they are providing the expected signal. It
generates an alarm if a clock signal is incorrect.
Control of FPC resets—If the MCS detects errors in an FPC, it attempts to
reset the FPC. After three unsuccessful reset attempts, the MCS takes the
FPC offline and informs the Routing Engine. Other FPCs are unaffected,
and system operation continues.
MCS Components
Each MCS (shown in Figure 10) has the following components:
PCI interface—Connects the MCS to the Routing Engine.
100-Mbps Ethernet switch—Carries signals and monitoring data between
router components.
19.44-MHz stratum 3 reference clock—Generates clock signal for SONET/SDH

Two large alarm LEDs are located at the upper left of the craft interface
(see Figure 11). The circular red LED lights t o indicate a critical condition
that can result in a system shutdown. The triangular yellow LED lights to
indicate a less severe condition that requires monitoring or maintenance.
Both LEDs can be lit simultaneously.
A condition that causes an LED to light also activates the corresponding alarm
relay contact on the connector interface panel (CIP), as described in “Alarm

of the alarm, as described in “LCD Alarm Mode” on page 30.
To deactivate red and yellow alarms, press the button labeled

alarm turns off both LEDs and deactivates the device attached to the corresponding
alarm relay contact on the CIP. However, the LCD continues to report the alarm
message until you clear the condition that caused the alarm.

Power System
1173
The router uses DC power. There are two load-sharing, pass-through power supplies
located at the bottom rear of the chassis, as shown in Figure 2. The power supplies
connect to the midplane, which distributes power to router components according
to their individual voltage requirements. When the pow er supplies are installed
and operational, they automatically share the electrical load. If a power supply
stops functioning for any reason, the remaining power supplies instantly begin
providing all the power the router needs for normal functioning and can provide
full power indefinitely.
Pow er supplies are hot-removable and hot-insertable, as described in
Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs) on page 4. To avoid electrical injury, carefully follow
the instructions in “Replacing a Power Supply” on page 197.
NOTE: After powering off a power supply, wait at least 60 seconds before turning
it back on. After powering on a power supply, wait at least 60 seconds before
turning it off.
If the r outer is completely powered down when you power on the power supply,
the Routing Engine boots as the power supply completes its startup sequence. If
Power System35
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
the Routing Engine finishes booting and you need to power down the router
again, first issue the CLI
“Disconnecting Power from the Router” on page 200.
After a p ower supply is powered on, it can take up to 60 seconds for status
indicators—such a s LEDs on the power supply,

Fuses
Cooling System
The router uses fuses from the Cooper Bussman brand GMT series for the FPCs,
MCSs, PCGs, and SFMs. The fuses are located in a fuse box on the rear of the
midplane. When the fuse for a component blows, the component stops functioning
even though it is installed correctly and the power supplies are providing power to
the router. For more information, see “Blown Fuse Indicators” on page 211. For
fuse replacement instructions, see “Replacing a Fuse” on p age 204.
The cooling system includes a f a n tray and several impellers that draw room air into
the chassis to ke ep its internal temperature below a maximum acceptable level.
When the temperature is below the maximum, the fans and impellers function
at less than full speed. If the MCS detects that the temperature of a component
has exceeded the acceptable maximum—for example, because an impeller is
removed—it automatically increases the speed of the remaining impellers and fans
to reduce the temperature. The fans and impellers can function at the higher
speed indefinitely.
For more information about the cooling system, see the following sections:
Cooling System Components on page 40
Airflow through the Chassis on page 40
Cooling System39
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
Cooling System Components
The cooling system has the following components. All are hot-removable and
hot-insertable, as described in Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs) on page 4.
Air intake vent, air filter, and intake cover—Provide an opening for room air to
enter the router. They are located at the bottom of the chassis front, below the
cable management system, as shown in Figure 1. The air filter is removable
and covers the air intake vent, preventing dust and other particles from
entering the cooling system. For maintenance and replacement instructions,
see “Maintaining the Air Filter” on page 128. The nonremovable air intake
cover is located behind the air filter and provides EMC shielding.
CAUTION: Do not remove the air filter for more than a few minutes while the
router is operating. The fans and impellers are powerful enough to draw in foreign
material, such as bits of wire, through the unfiltered air intake, which could damage
router components.
Front cooling subsystem—Cools the FPCs, PICs, and midplane. It includes a fan
tray located behind the cable management system and a large, central impeller
behind the craft interface. For replacement instructions, see “Replacing the Fan
Tray” on page 148 and “Replacing the Front Impeller Assembly” on page 150.
Rear cooling subsystem—Cools the SFMs, host module, PCGs, and power
supplies. It includes one impeller located at the upper right of the chassis
rear and another at the lower left, as shown in Figure 2. The upper and
lower impellers are not interchangeable. For replacement instructions, see
“Replacing the Rear Lower Impeller Assembly” on page 154 and “Replacing
the Rear Upper Impeller Assembly” on page 156.

JUNOS Internet Software Overview
The JUNOS Internet software is especially designed for the large production
networks t ypically supported by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). It incorporates
Internet Protocol (IP) routing software and software for management of interfaces,
networks, and the router chassis.
TheJUNOSInternetsoftwarerunsontheRoutingEngine.Thesoftwareconsistsof
processes that support Internet routing protocols, control the router’s interfaces
and the router chassis itself, and provide an interface for system management.
The processes run on top of a kernel that coordinates the communication among
processes and has a direct link to the Packet Forwarding Engine software.
Use the JUNOS Internet software to configure the routing protocols that run on
the router and the properties of router interfaces. After you have activated a
software configuration, use the JUNOS Internet software to monitor the protocol
traffic passing through the router and to troubleshoot protocol and network
connectivity problems.
For additional information about the JUNOS Internet software, including its security
features and a list of the industry standards it supports, see the JUNOS System BasicsConfiguration Guide. For complete information about configuring the software,
including examples, see the JUNOS Internet software configuration guides.

Routing Protocol Process on page 44
Routing Engine Software Components43
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
Routing Protocol Process
The JUNOS software routing protocol process controls the routing p rotocols that
run on the router. The routing protocol process starts all configured routing
protocols and handles all routing messages. It consolidates the routing information
learned from all routing protocols into common routing tables. From this routing
information, the routing protocol process determines the active routes to network
destinations and installs these routes into the Routing Engine’s forwarding table.
Finally, the routing protocol process implements the routing policies you specify,
which determine how routing information is transferred between the routing
protocols and the routing table.

For complete information about routing concepts, see the JUNOS
Internet software configuration guides.
IPv4 Routing Protocols
The JUNOS Internet software implements full IP routing functionality,
providing support for IP version 4 (IPv4). The routing protocols are fully
interoperable with existing IP routing protocols and provide the scale and
control necessary for the Internet core. The software provides support for
the following routing and traffic engineering protocols:
Unicast routing protocols
BGP—Border Gateway Protocol, version 4, is an Exterior Gateway Protocol
(EGP) that guarantees loop-free exchange of routing information between
routing domains (also called autonomous systems). BGP, in conjunction
44Routing Engine Software Components
JUNOS Internet Software Overview
with JUNOS routing policy, provides a system of administrative checks and
balances that can be used to implement peering and transit agreements.
ICMP—Internet Control Message Protocol router discovery is a method
that hosts can use to discover the addresses of operational routers on a
subnet.
IS-IS—Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System is a link-state interior
gateway protocol (IGP) for IP networks that uses the shortest-path-first
algorithm (SPF algorithm, also called the Dijkstra algorithm) to determine
routes.
OSPF—Open Shortest Path First, version 2, is an IGP developed for
IP networks by the Int ernet Engineering Task Force (IETF). OSPF is
a link-state protocol that makes routing decisions based on the SPF
algorithm.
RIP—Routing Information Protocol, version 2, is an IGP for IP networks
based on the Bellman-Ford algorithm. RIP is a distance-vector protocol.
RIP dynamically routes packets between a subscriber and a service
provider without the subscriber having to configure BGP or to participate
in the service provider’s IGP discovery process.
Multicast routing protocols
DVMRP—Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol is a dense-mode
(flood-and-prune) multicast routing protocol.
IGMP—Internet Group Management Protocol, versions 1 and 2, is used
to manage membership in multicast groups.
MSDP—Multicast Source Discovery Protocol enables multiple PIM sparse
mode domains to be joined. A rendezvous point (RP) in a PIM sparse
mode domain has a peering relationship with an RP in another domain,
thereby discovering multicast sources from other domains.
PIM sparse mode and dense mode—Protocol-Independent Multicast is a
multicast routing protocol used to route traffic to multicast groups that
might span wide-area and interdomain internetworks. In PIM sparse
mode, routers explicitly join and leave multicast groups. PIM dense
mode is a flood-and-prune protocol.
LDP—Label Distribution Protocol provides a mechanism for distributing
labels in nontraffic-engineered applications. LDP allows routers to
establish label-switched paths (LSPs) through a network by mapping
network-layer routing information directly to data-link layer switched
Routing Engine Software Components45
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
IPv6 Routing Protocols
The JUNOS Internet software implements full IP routing functionality,
providing support for IP version 6 (IPv6). The routing protocols are fully
interoperable with existing IP routing protocols and provide the scale and
control necessary for the Internet core. The software provides support
for the following unicast routing protocols:
paths. LSPs created by LDP can also traverse LSPs created by Resource
Reservation Protocol (RSVP).
MPLS—Multiprotocol Label Switching enables you to configure LSPs
through a network either manually or dynamically. You can control how
traffic traverses the network by directing it through particular paths,
rather than relying on an IGP’s least-cost algorithm to choose a path.
RSVP—Resource Reservation Protocol, version 1, provides a mechanism
for engineering network traffic patterns that is independent of the
shortest path determined by a routing protocol. RSVP itself is not a
routing protocol, but is designed to operate with current and future
unicast and multicast routing protocols. JUNOS RSVP software supports
dynamic signaling for MPLS LSPs.
BGP—Border Gateway Protocol, version 4, is an EGP that guarantees loop-free
exchange of routing information between routing domains (also called
autonomous systems). BGP, in conjunction with JUNOS routing policy, provides
a system of administrative checks and balances that can be used to implement
peering and transit agreements.
ICMP—Internet Control Message Protocol router discovery is a method that
hosts can use to discover the addresses of operational routers on a subnet.
IS-IS—Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System is a link-state interior
gateway protocol (IGP) for IP networks that uses the shortest-path-first
algorithm (SPF algorithm, also called the Dijkstra algorithm) to determine
routes.
OSPF—Open Shortest Path First, ver sion 3 (OSPFv3), supports version 6 of
the Internet Protocol (IPv6). The fundamental mechanisms of OSPF such as
flooding, Designated Router (DR) election, area based topologies and the
Shortest Path First (SPF) calculations remain unchanged. Some differences
exist either due to changes in protocol semantics between IPv4 and IPv6, or to
handle the increased address size of IPv6.
RIP—Routing Information Protocol, version 2, is an IGP for IP networks
based on the Bellman-Ford algorithm. RIP is a distance-vector protocol. RIP
dynamically routes packets between a subscriber and a service provider
without the subscriber having to configure BGP or to participate in the service
provider’s IGP discovery process.
46Routing Engine Software Components
JUNOS Internet Software Overview
Routing and Forwarding Tables
The primary function of the JUNOS routing protocol process is maintaining routing
tables and using the information in them to determine active routes to network
destinations. It copies information about the active routes into the Routing Engine’s
forwarding table, which the JUNOS kernel copies to the Packet Forwarding Engine.
By default, the routing protocol process maintains the following routing tables and
uses the information in each table to determine activeroutes to network destinations:
Unicast routing table—Stores routing information for all unicast protocols
running on the router, including BGP, IS-IS, OSPF, and RIP. You can also
configure additional routes, such as static routes, for inclusion in the routing
table. The unicast routing protocols use the routes in this table when
advertising routing information to their neighbors.
In the unicast routing table, the routing protocol process designates routes with
the lowest preference values as active. By default, a route’s preference value is
simply a function of how the routing protocol process learned about the route.
You can modify the default preference value by setting routing policies and
configuring other software parameters. See “Routing Policy” on page 47.
Multicast routing table (cache)—Stores routing information for all multicast
protocols running on the router, including DVMRP and PIM. You can configure
additional routes for inclusion in the routing table.
In the multicast routing table, the routing protocol process uses traffic flow and
other parameters specified by the multicast routing protocol algorithms to
select active routes.
MPLS routing table—Stores MPLS label information.
For unicast routes, the routing protocol process determines active routes by
choosing the most preferred route, which is the route with the lowest preference
value. By default, the route’s preference value is simply a function of how the
routing protocol process learned about the route. You can modify the default
preference value using routing policy and with software configuration parameters.
For multicast traffic, the routing protocol process determines active routes based
on traffic flow and other parameters specified by the multicast routing protocol
algorithms. The routing protocol process then installs one or more active routes to
each network destination into the Routing Engine’s forwarding table.
You can configure additional routing tables to meet your requirements, as
described in the JUNOS Routing Protocols Configuration Guide.
Routing Policy
By default, all routing protocols place their rout es into the routing table.
When advertising routes, the routing protocols, by default, advertise only
a limited set of routes from the routing table. Specifically, each routing
protocol exports only the active routes that were learned by that protocol.
Routing Engine Software Components47
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
In addition, IGPs (IS-IS, OSPF, and RIP) export the direct (interface) routes
for the interfaces on which the protocol is explicitly configured.
For each routing table, you can affect the routes that a protocol places into the table
and the routes from the table that the protocol advertises by defining one or more
routing policies and then applying them to the specific routing protocol.
Routing policies applied when t he routing protocol places routes into the routing
table are called import policies because the routes are being imported into
the routing table. Policies applied when the routing protocol is advertising
routes that are in the routing table are called export policies because the
routes are being exported from the routing table. In other words, the terms
import and export are used with respect to the routing table.
Routing policy enables you to control (filter) which routes are imported into the
routing table and which routes are exported from the routing table. Routing policy
also allows you to set the information associated with a route as it is being imported
into or exported from the routing table. Routing policies applied to imported routes
control the routes used to determine active routes, whereas policies applied to
exported routes control which routes a protocol advertises to its neighbors.
VPNs
You implement routing policy by defining policies. A policy specifies the conditions
tousetomatcharouteandtheactiontoperformontheroutewhenamatch
occurs. For example, when a routing table imports routing information from a
routing protocol, a routing policy might modify the route’s preference, mark the
route with a color to identify it for later manipulation, or prevent the route from
even being installed in a routing table. When a routing table exports routes to a
routing protocol, a policy might assign metric values, modify t he BGP community
information, tag the route with additional information, or prevent the route
from being exported altogether. You also can define policies for redistributing
the routes learned from one protocol into another protocol.
The JUNOS software supports several types of VPNs:
Layer 2 VPNs—A Layer 2 VPN links a set of sites sharing common routing
information, and whose connectivity is controlled by a collection of policies. A
Layer 2 VPN is not aware of routes within a customer’s network. It simply
provides private links between a customer’s sites over the service provider’s
existing public Internet backbone.
Layer3VPNs—ALayer3VPNlinksasetofsitesthatsharecommonrouting
information, and whose connectivity is controlled by a collection of policies.
A Layer 3 VPN is aware of routes within a customer’s network, requiring
more configuration on the part of the service provider than a Layer 2 VPN.
The sites that make up a Layer 3 VPN are connected over a service provider’s
existing public Internet backbone.

Carrier-of-Carrier VPNs—Carrier-of-carrier VPNs allow a VPN service provider
to supply VPN service to a customer who is also a service provider. The latter

The JUNOS interface process manages the physical interface devices and logical
interfaces on the router. It implements the JUNOS command-line interface
(CLI) commands and configuration statements that you use to specify interface
properties such as location (FPC location in the FPC card cage and PIC location
on an FPC), the interface type (such as SONET/SDH or ATM), encapsulation,
and interface-specific properties. You can configure both interfaces that are
currently active and interfaces that might be installed later.
The JUNOS interface process communicates with the interface process in the
Packet Forwarding Engine through the JUNOS kernel, enabling the JUNOS Internet
software to track the status and condition of router interfaces.
Chassis Process
The JUNOS chassis process allows you to configure and control the properties of
the router, including conditions that trigger alarms and clock sources. The chassis
process communicates directly with a chassis process in the JUNOS kernel.
SNMP and MIB II Processes
The JUNOS Internet software supports the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), versions 1, 2, and 3, which provides a mechanism for
monitoring the state of the router. This software is controlled by the JUNOS
SNMP and Management Information Base (MIB) II processes, which consist
of an SNMP master agent and a MIB II agent.
Management Process
The management process starts all the other JUNOS software processes and the
CLI when the router boots. It monitors the running JUNOS processes and makes
all reasonable attempts to restart any process that terminates.
Routing Engine Kernel
The Routing Engine kernel provides the underlying infrastructure for all JUNOS
software processes. It also pro vides the link between the routing tables maintained
by the routing protocol process and the forwarding table maintained by the Routing
Engine. Additionally, it coordinates communication with the Packet Forwarding
Engine, which primarily involves synchronizing the Packet Forwarding Engine’s
forwarding table with the master forwarding table maintained by the Routing Engine.
Routing Engine Software Components49
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
Tools for Accessing and Configuring the Software
The JUNOS CLI is the primary tool for accessing and controlling the JUNOS Internet
software. You use it when accessing the router through the console or a connection
to an out-of-band management network. The CLI includes command s for
configuring router hardware, the JUNOS Internet software, and network connectivity.
The JUNOS CLI is a straightforward command interface. You type commands
on a single line and enter the commands by pressing the Enter key. The CLI
provides command help and command completion, as well as Emacs-style
keyboard sequences for moving around on a command line and scrolling through
a buffer that contains recently executed commands. For more information
about the CLI, see the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.
Tools for Monitoring the Software
In addition to commands for configuring router hardw are and software, the CLI
includes commands for monitoring and troubleshooting hardware, software, routing
protocols, and network connectivity. CLI commands display information from
routing tables, information specific to routing protocols, a nd information about
network connectivity derived from the
ping and traceroute utilities.
Software Upgrades
You can also use the JUNOS Internet software i mplementation of SNMP to monitor
routers. The SNMP software consists of an SNMP master agent and a MIB II agent.
It provides full support for MIB II SNMP version 1 traps and version 2 notifications,
SNMP version 1
information about SNMP, see the JUNOS Network Management Configuration Guide.
The software also supports tracing and logging operations, which you can use
to track normal router operations, error conditions, and the packets that the
router generates or forwards. Logging operations use a syslog-like mechanism to
record systemwide, high-level events such as interfaces going up or down and
user logins on the router. Tracing operations record more detailed information
about the operation of routing protocols, such as the various types of routing
protocol packets sent and received, and routing policy actions.
The router is delivered with the JUNOS Internet software preinstalled. To upgrade
the software, you use CLI commands to copy a set of software images over the
network to memory storage on the Routing Engine. The JUNOS Internet software

System Architecture Overview
The router architecture consists of two major components:
Packet Forwarding Engine—Performs Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet switching,
route lookups, and packet forwarding.
Routing Engine—Provides Layer 3 routing services and network management.
The Packet Forwarding Engine and the Routing Engine perform independently but
communicate constantly through a 100-Mbps internal link. This arrangement
provides streamlined forwarding and r outing control and the ability to run
Internet-scale networks at high speeds. Figure 22 illustrates the relationship
between the Packet Forwarding Engine and the Routing Engine.

Packet Forwarding Engine Architecture
The Packet Forwarding Engine performs Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet switching.
It can forward up to 160 for all packet sizes. The aggregate throughput for the
router is 160 gigabits per second (Gbps) simplex or 80 Gbps full duplex. The
Packet Forwar ding Engine is implemented in application-specific integrated circuits
(ASICs). It uses a centralized route lookup engine and shared memory.

Packet Forwarding Engine Architecture51
1244
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
The Packet Forwarding Engine architecture includes the following components:
Midplane—Transports packets, notifications, and other signals between the
FPCs and the Packet Forwarding Engine (as well as other system components).
Physical Interface Card (PIC)—Physically connects the router to fiber-optic
or digital network media. A controller ASIC in each PIC performs control
functions specific to the PIC media type.
Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC)—Houses PICs and provides shared memory
for processing incoming and outgoing packets. Each FPC hosts four I/O
Manager ASICs, which divide incoming data packets into memory blocks (cells)
before passing them to the SFMs, and reassembles cells into data packets when
the packets are ready for transmission. The FPC also hosts two Packet Director
ASICs—one distributes incoming packets among the I/O Manager ASICs, and
the other distributes outgoing packets to the appropriate PICs on the FPC.
Switching and Forwarding Module (SFM)—Hosts an Internet Processor II ASIC,
which makes forwarding decisions, and two Distributed Buffer Manager ASICs:
one distributes data cells to the shared memory buffers on the FPCs and the
other notifies the FPCs of forwarding decisions for outgoing packets.
Data Flow through the Packet Forwarding Engine
Use of ASICs promotes efficient movement of data packets through
the system. Packets flow through the Packet Forwarding Engine in
the following sequence (see Figure 23):
1.Packets a rrive at an incoming PIC interface.
2.The PIC passes the packets to the FPC, where the Packet Director ASIC
distributes them among the I/O Manager ASICs.
3.The I/O Manager ASICs process the packet headers, divide the packets into
64-byte data cells, and pass the cells through the midplane to the SFMs.
4.The Distributed Buffer Manager ASICs on the SFMs distribute the data cells
throughout memory buffers located on and shared by all the FPCs.
5.For each packet, an Internet Processor II ASIC on an SFM performs a route
lookup and decides how to forward the packet.
6.The Internet Processor II ASIC notifies a Distributed Buffer Manager ASIC of
the forwarding decision, and the Distributed Buffer Manager ASIC forwards the
notification to the FPC that hosts the appropriate outbound interface.
7.The I/O Manager ASIC on the FPC reassembles data cells in shared memory
into data packets as they are ready for transmission and passes them through
the Packet Director ASIC to the outbound PIC.
8.The outbound PIC transmits the data packets.

Routing Engine Architecture
The Routing Engine is an Intel-based PCI platform running the JUNOS Internet
software, which Juniper Networks has developed and optimized to handle
large numbers of network interfaces and routes. The software consists of
a set of system processes running in protected memory modules on top
of an independent operating sy stem. The JUNOS kernel supports JUNOS
system processes, which handle system management processes, routing
protocols, and control functions (see Figure 24).

Routing Engine Functions
The Routing Engine handles all routing protocol processes, as well as
the software processes that control the router’s interfaces, the chassis
components, system management, and user access to the router. These
routing and software processes run on top of a kernel that interacts with the
Packet Forwarding Engine. For more information about the processes, see

Processing of routing protocol packets—The Routing Engine handles all
packets that concern routing protocols, freeing the Packet Forwarding Engine
to handle only packets that represent Internet traffic.
Software modularity—Because each software process is devoted to a different
function and uses a separate process space, the failure of one process has little
or no effect on the others.
In-depth Internet functionality—Each routing protocol is implemented with a
complete set of Internet features and provides full flexibility for advertising,
filtering, and modifying routes. Routing policies are set according to route
parameters (for example, prefix, prefix lengths, and Border Gateway Protocol
[BGP] attributes).
Scalability—The JUNOS routing tables have been designed to hold all the
routes in current networks with ample capacity for expansion. Additionally, the
54Routing Engine Architecture
System Architecture Overview
JUNOS Internet software can efficiently support large numbers of interfaces
and virtual circuits.
Management interface—Differe nt levels of system management tools are
provided, including the JUNOS command-line interface (CLI), the JUNOScript
application programming interface, the craft interface, and SNMP.
Storage and change management—Configuration files, system images, and
microcode can be held and maintained in primary and secondary storage
systems, permitting local or remote upgrades.
Monitoring efficiency and flexibility—The router supports functions such
as alarm handling and packet counting on every port, without degrading
packet-forwarding performance.
The Routing Engine constructs and maintains one or more routing tables (see
Figure 25). From the routing tables, the Routing Engine derives a table of active
routes, called the forwarding table, which is then copied into the Packet Forwarding
Engine. The design of the ASICs allow the forwarding table in the Packet Forwarding
Engine to be updated without interrupting forwarding performance.

This chapter describes how to prepare your site for installation of the M160 Internet
router. It discusse s the following topics:
Rack Requirements on page 59
Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance on page 62
Routing Node Environmental Specifications on page 62
Fire Safety Requirements on page 63
Power Guidelines, Requirements, and Specifications on page 64
Network Cable Specifications and Guidelines on page 70

Site Preparation Checklist on page 75
Rack Requirements
The router must be installed in a rack. Many types of racks are acceptable, including
front-mount racks, 4-post (telco) racks, and center-mount racks. An example of a
center-mount rack appears in Figure 26.
The following sections describe rack requirements:
Rack Size and Strength on page 60
Spacing of Mounting Holes on page 61
Connection to Building Structure on page 62
Rack Requirements59
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
Rack Size and Strength
The router is designed for installation in a rack that complies with
either of the following standards:
A 19-in. rack as defined in Cabinets,Racks,Panels,andAssociatedEquipment
(document number EIA-310-D) published by the Electronics Industry
Association (
http://www.eia.org).
A 600-mm rack as defined in the four-part Equipment Engineering (EE);
European telecommunications standard for equipment practice (document
numbers ETS 300 119-1 through 119-4) published by the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (
http://www.etsi.org).
The horizontal spacing between the rails in a rack that complies with
this standard is usually wider than the router’s front support posts and
center-mounting brackets, which measure 19 in. (48.3 cm) from outer edge
toouteredge. Useapprovedwingdevicestonarrowtheopeningbetween
the rails as required.
The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the router chassis’s
external dimensions: 35 in. (89 cm) high, 29 in. (73.6 cm) deep, and 17.5 in.
(44.5 cm) wide. The outer edges of the front support posts and center-mounting
brackets extend the width to 19 in. (48. 3 cm). The spacing of rails and adjacent
racks must also allow for the clearances around the router and rack that are specified
in Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance on page 62.
NOTE: The router might not fit into an 800-mm-deep cabinet, even if you adjust the
front-to-back position of the front mounting rails inside the cabinet.
If you mount the router in a cabinet, be sure that ventilation is sufficient to
prevent overheating.
In general, a center-mount rack is preferable to a front-mount rack because
the more even distribution of weight in the center-mount rack provides
greater stability. If a front-mount rack is used, we recommend supporting
the back of the router with a shelf or other structure.
The chassis height of 35 in. (89 cm) is approximately 20 U. A
U is the
standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment
(document number EIA-310-D) published by the Electronics Industry
Association. You can stack eight M160 routers in a rack that has at least
40 U (70 in. or 1.78 m) of usable vertical space.
60Rack Requirements
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured
router, up to about 370.5 lb (168 kg). If you stack eight routers in one rack,
it must be capable of supporting about 740 lb (336 kg).

Spacing of Mounting Holes
Table 14 specifies the spacing between mounting holes in the chassis’s front support
posts and center-mounting brackets. The mounting holes in a front-mount rack’s
rails must align with the holes in the front support posts, and the mounting holes in a
center-mount rack’s rails must align with the holes in the center-mounting brackets.

Connection to Building Structure
Always secure the rack to the structure of the building. If your geographical
area is subject to earthquakes, bolt the rack to the floor. For maximum
stability, also secure the rack to ceiling brackets. For more information, see
“Rack-Mounting Requirements and Warnings” on page 240.
Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance
When planning the installation site, you need to allow sufficient
clearance around the rack (see Figure 27):
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis
must be unrestricted. Figure 20 depicts the airflow in the router.
For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must
be adequate space at the front and back of the router. Allow at least 24 in.

Preparing for Router Installation
NOTE: Install the router only in restricted areas, such as dedicated equipment
rooms and equipment closets, in accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and
110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
For additional safety guidelines and requirements, see “Safety and Regulatory
Compliance Information” on page 221.
Fire Safety Requirements
In the event of a fire emergency involving routers and other network equipment,
the safety of people is the primary concern. You should establish procedures for
protecting people in the event of a fire emergency, provide safety training, and
properly provision fire-control equipment and fire extinguishers.
In addition, you should establish procedures to protect your equipment in the
event of a fire emergency. Juniper Networks products should be installed in
an environment suitable for electronic equipment. We recommend that fire
suppression equipment be available in the event of a fire in the vicinity of the
equipment, and that all local fire, safety, and electrical codes and ordinances
be observed when installing and operating your equipment.
Fire Suppression
In the event of an electrical hazard or an electrical fire, you should first turn power
off to the equipment at the source. Then use a Type C fire extinguisher, which uses
noncorrosive fire retardants, to extinguish the fire. For more information about
fire extinguishers, see “Fire Suppression Equipment” on page 64.
Fire Safety Requirements63
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
Fire Suppression Equipment
Type C fire extinguishers, w hich use noncorrosive fire retardants such as carbon
dioxide (CO2) and Halotron™, are most effective for suppressing electrical fires.
Type C fir e extinguishers displace the oxygen from the point of combustion to
eliminate the fire. For extinguishing fire on or around equipment that draws air from
the environment for cooling, you should use this type of inert oxygen displacement
extinguisher instead of an extinguisher that leave residues on equipment.
Do not use multipurpose Type ABC chemical fire extinguishers (dry chemical
fire extinguishers) near Juniper Networks equipment. The primary ingredient in
these fire extinguishers is monoammonium phosphate, which is very sticky and
difficult to clean. In addition, in minute amounts of mois ture, monoammonium
phosphate can become highly corrosive and corrodes most metals.
Any equipment in a room in which a chemical fire extinguisher has been
discharged is subject to premature failure and unreliable operation. The
equipment is considered to be irreparably damaged.
NOTE: To keep warranties effective, do not use a dry chemical fire extinguisher to
control a fire at or near a Juniper Networks router. If a dry chemical fire extinguisher
is used, the unit is no longer eligible for coverage under a service agreement.
We recommend that you dispose of any irreparably damaged equipment
in an environmentally responsible manner.
Power Guidelines, Requirements, and Specifications
The router uses DC power. There are two load-sharing, pass-through power supplies
located at the bottom rear of the chassis, as shown in Figure 2. The power supplies
connect to the midplane, which distributes power to router components according
to their individual voltage requirements. When the pow er supplies are installed
and operational, they automatically share the electrical load. If a power supply
stops functioning for any reason, the remaining power supplies instantly begin
providing all the power the router needs for normal functioning and can provide
full power indefinitely.
For site wiring and power system guidelines, requirements, and specifications, see
the following sections:
Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines on page 65
Router Power Requirements on page 65
Chassis Grounding on page 67
Power, Connection, and Cable Specifications on page 67
64Power Guidelines, Requirements, and Specifications
Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines
When planning the electrical wiring at your site, consider the factors
discussed in the following sections.
Distance Limitations for Signaling
Improperly installed wires can emit radio interference. In addition, the potential
for damage from lightning strikes increases if wires exceed recommended
distances, or if wires p ass between buildings. The electromagnetic pulse (EMP)
caused by lightning can damage unshielded conductors and destroy electronic
devices. If y our site has previously experienced such problems, you might want
to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding.
Radio Frequency Interference
You can reduce or eliminate the emission of radio frequency interference (RFI) from
your site wiring by using twisted-pair cable with a good distribution of grounding
conductors. If you must exceed the recommended distances, use a high-quality
twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal when applicable.
Preparing for Router Installation
Electromagnetic Compatibility
If your site is susceptible to problems with electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC), particularly from lightning or radio transmitters, you might want to
seek expert advice. Strong sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) can
destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the router and conduct power
surges over the lines into the equipment, resulting in an electrical hazard.
It is particularly important to provide a properly grounded and shielded
environment and to use electrical surge-suppression devices.
CAUTION: To comply with intrabuilding lightning/surge requirements, int rabuilding
wiring must be shielded, and the shield for the wiring must be grounded at both
ends.
Router Power Requirements
Table 16 lists the power requirements for various hardware components
when the router is operating under typical voltage conditions. For PIC power
requirements, see the M160 Internet Router PIC Guide.

You can use the information in Table 16 and the M160 Internet Router PICGuide to calculate power consumption for various hardware configurations,
input current from a different source voltage, and thermal output, as shown
in the following examples. (For an added safety margin, the examples use
a generalized value for PICs of 0.625 A/48 V each.)
Power consumption for minimum configuration:
Base system + 1 FPC + 1 SFM + 1 host module + 2 PCGs + 4 PICs =
7 A + 2.4 A + 1.3 A + 1.3 A + 2(0.2 A) + 4(0.625 A) =
7 A + 2.4 A + 1.3 A + 1.3 A + 0.4 A + 2.5 A = 14.9 A @ 48 V = 715 W DC
Pow er consumption for maximum configuration:
Base system + 8 FPCs + 4 SFMs + 2 host modules + 2 PCGs + 32 PICs =
10 A + 8(2.4 A) + 4(1.3 A) + 2(1.3 A) + 2(0.2 A) + 32(0.625 A)=
10A + 19.2A + 5.2A + 2.6A + 0.4A + 20A=57.4A@48V=2755WDC
Input current from a DC source other than 48 V (based on maximum
configuration):
(54 VDC input) x (input current X) = (48 VDC input) x (input current Y)
54 x X = 48 x 57.4 A
X=48 x 57.4A/54=51.0A
System thermal output for maximally configured router:
105% of Watts DC/0.293 = BTU/hr
1.05 x 2755/0.293 = 9873 BTU/hr
NOTE: If you plan to operate a maximally configured router, we recommend that
you provision at least 70 A @ 48 VDC and use a facility circuit breaker rated for
70 A minimum. Doing so enables you to operate the router in any configuration
without upgrading the po wer infrastructure, and allows the router to function at
full capacity using one power supply.
If you plan to operate the router at less than the maximum configuration and do not
provision a 70 A circuit breaker, we recommend that you provision a circuit breaker
rated for at least 125% of the continuous current that the system dra ws at 48 V.
66Power Guidelines, Requirements, and Specifications
Chassis Grounding
Preparing for Router Installation
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to
ensure proper operation, the router must be adequately grounded before power
is connected. A pair of threaded inserts (PEM nuts) are provided on the right
rear of the chassis for connecting the router to earth ground.
CAUTION: Before router installation begins, a licensed electrician must attach a
cable lug to the grounding and power cables that you supply. A cable with an
incorrectly attached lug can damage the router (for example, by causing a short
circuit).
To ground the router, connect a grounding cable to earth ground and then
attach it to the chassis grounding points. The grounding points are spaced at
0.625-in. (15.86-mm) centers. The accessory box shipped with the router
includes the cable lug that attaches to the grounding cable (see Figure 28) and
the UNC 1/4–20 screws (American) used to secure the grounding cable to the
grounding points. (The cable lug shown in Figure 28 is also used for the DC power
cables.) Thegroundingcablemustbeabletohandleupto82A.

Power, Connection, and Cable Specifications
To supply power to the router, connect power cables to a separate, dedicated power
source for each p ower supply and attach the cables to the terminal studs on the
circuit breaker box. Most sites distribute power through a main conduit that leads
to frame-mounted power distribution panels, one of which might be located at the
top of the rack that houses the router. A pair of cables (one input and one return)
connects each set of terminal studs to the power distribution panel.

Fiber Optic and Network Cable Specifications
The router supports PICs that use various kinds of network cable, including
multimode and single-mode fiber-optic cable. For information about the type
ofcableusedbyeachPIC,seetheM160 Internet Router PIC Guide.
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. LEDs are not coherent sources, however. 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 trav eling in the fiber core radiates into the fiber
cladding, higher-order mode loss (HOL) results. Together these factors limit the
transmission distance of multimode fiber compared to 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
astraightlinethroughthesingle-modefiber. Comparedwithmultimode
fiber, single-mode fiber has higher bandwidth and can carry signals for
longer distances. It is consequently more expensive.
Preparing for Router Installation
For information about the maximum transmission distance and supported
wavelength range for the types of single-mode and multimode fiber-optic cable
used by PICs on the M160 router, see the M 160 Internet Router PIC Guide.
Exceeding the maximum transmission distances can result in significant
signal loss, which causes unreliable transmission.
The router uses optical lasers for SONET/SDH PIC single-mode interfaces.

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.
While 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.
Network Cable Specifications and Guidelines71
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide
Dispersion is the spreading of the signal in time. The following two types
of dispersion can affect an optical data link:
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.
Chromatic dispersion— The spreading of the signal in time resulting from
the different speeds of light rays.
Modal dispersion—The spreading of the signal in time resulting from the
different propagation modes in the fiber.
When chromatic dispersion is at the maximum allowed, its effect can be considered
as a power penalty in the power budget. The op tical power budget must allow
for the sum of component attenuation, power penalties (including those from
dispersion), and a safety margin for unexpected losses. For more information about
power budget, see “Calculating Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cable” on page 72.
Calculating 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 (

Calculating Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cable

calculate the pow er margin (

A 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 18
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.

In both examples, the calculated power margin is great er than zero,
indicating that the link has sufficient power for transmission and does
not exceed the maximum receiver input power.
Attenuating to Prevent Satu ration at SONET/SDH PICs
SONET/SDH interfaces in the different reach classes—short reach (SR), intermediate
reach (IR), and long reach (LR)—generate different output power levels and
tolerate different input power levels. Interfaces that have a longer reach can
transmit enough power to saturate the receivers on PICs that have a shorter reach.
Specifically, LR interfaces can saturate IR PICs, and both IR and LR interfaces can
saturate SR PICs. Interfaces in the same reach class can also saturate one another.
To prevent saturation, you might need to attenuate pow er at the PIC receiver,
particularly if you know that it has a shorter reach than the interface that is
sending the signal. Determine the amount of attenuation needed by measuring
the power level at each receiver. Attenuate the power to bring it within the
allowable range; for short lengths of fiber , with fiber and connector loss close
tozero,anattenuatorof5to10dBshouldbesufficient.
