MX480 Router Description

The MX480 3D Universal EdgeRouter is an Ethernet-optimized edge router thatprovides both switching and carrier-class Ethernet routing. The MX480 router has a capacity of up to 720 gigabits per second (Gbps), full duplex. The MX480 router enables a wide range of business and residential applications andservices, includinghigh-speed transport and VPN services, next-generation broadband multiplay services, and high-volume Internet data center internetworking.

The MX480 chassis provides redundancy and resiliency. The hardware system is fully redundant, including powersupplies, Routing Engines,and Switch Control Boards (SCBs).

The MX480 router is eight rack units (U) tall. Five routers can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceilingrack, for increased port density perunit of floor space.The router provides eight slots that can be populated with up to six Dense Port Concentrators (DPCs) or Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs), three Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs), and two SCBs. Each FPC holds up to two PICs and each MPC holds up to two Modular Interface Cards (MICs).

Fully populated, the MX480 router provides an aggregate throughput of up to 720 Gbps, with line-rate throughput on 72 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, or oversubscribed forwarding at a gross ratio of 3:4 on all 96 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Each DPC includeseither two orfour Packet Forwarding Engines.Each Packet Forwarding Engine enables a throughput of 10 Gbps. Many types of DPCs are available. For a list of the DPCs supported, see the MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers Line Card Guide.

The MX480 supports up to 3 FPCs containing up to 6 PICs or up to 6 MPCs containing up to 12 MICs. For a list of the supported line cards, see the MX Series 3D Universal Edge

Routers Line Card Guide.

The connections between DPCs, FPCs, MPCs, and SCBs are organized in three groups:

•

Switchfabric—Connectsthe interface cards and provides for packet transport between DPCs, FPCs, and MPCs.

MX480 3D Universal Edge Router Hardware Guide

•

Control plane—Gigabit Ethernet links between the combined SCBs/Routing Engines and each DPC, FPC, or MPC. All board-to-board information is passed over Ethernet except for low-level status and commands.

•

Management signals—Provide for low-level status diagnostic support.

MX480 Component Redundancy

A fully configured router is designed so that no single point of failure can cause the entire system to fail. Only a fully configured router provides complete redundancy. All other configurations provide partial redundancy. The following major hardware components are redundant:

•

Host subsystem—The host subsystemconsists of a Routing Engine functioningtogether with an SCB. The router can have one or two host subsystems. If two host subsystems are installed, one functions as the master and the other functions as the backup. If the master host subsystem (or either of its components) fails, the backup can take over as the master. To operate, each host subsystem requires a Routing Engine installed directly into in an SCB.

If theRouting Enginesare configured for graceful switchover, the backup Routing Engine automatically synchronizes itsconfigurationand state with the master Routing Engine. Any update to the master Routing Engine state is replicated on the backup Routing Engine. Ifthe backupRouting Engine assumes mastership, packet forwarding continues through the router without interruption. For more information aboutgraceful switchover, see the Junos OS System Basics Configuration Guide.

•

Power supplies—In the low-line (110 V) AC power configuration, the router contains three or four AC power supplies, located horizontally at the rear of the chassis in slots

PEM0 through PEM3 (left to right). Each AC power supply provides power to all

components in the router. When three power supplies are present, they share power almost equally within a fully populated system. Four AC power supplies provide full power redundancy.If one power supplyfails or is removed,the remainingpower supplies instantly assume the entire electrical load without interruption. Three power supplies provide the maximum configuration with full power for as long as the router is operational.

In the high-line (220 V) AC power configuration, the router contains two or four AC power supplies located horizontally at the rear of the chassis in slots PEM0 through

Chapter 1: MX480 Router Overview

PEM3 (left to right). Each AC power supply provides power to all components in the

router. Whentwo ormore power suppliesare present,they sharepower almostequally within afully populated system. FourAC power supplies provide fullpower redundancy. If one power supply fails or is removed, the remaining power supplies instantly assume the entireelectricalload withoutinterruption. Two power suppliesprovide the maximum configuration with full power for as long as the router is operational.

In the DC configuration, two power supplies are required to supply power to a fully configured router. One power supply supports approximately half of the components in the router, and the other power supply supports the remaining components. The addition of two power supplies provides full power redundancy. If one power supply fails or is removed, the remaining power supplies instantly assume the entire electrical load without interruption. Two power supplies provide the maximum configuration with full power for as long as the router is operational.

•

Cooling system—Thecooling system has redundant components, which are controlled by the host subsystem. If one of the fans fails, the host subsystem increases the speed of the remaining fans to provide sufficient cooling for the router indefinitely.

MX480 Midplane Description

The midplane is located toward the rear of the chassis and forms the rear of the card cage (see Figure 4 on page 10). The line cards and SCBs install into the midplane from the front of the chassis, and the power supplies install into the midplane from the rear of the chassis. The cooling system components also connect to the midplane.

The midplane performs the following major functions:

•

Data path—Data packets are transferred across the midplane between the line cards through the fabric ASICs on the SCBs.

•

Power distribution—The router power supplies connect to the midplane, which distributes power to all the router components.

•

Signal path—The midplane provides the signal path to the line cards, SCBs, Routing Engines, and other system components for monitoring and control of the system.

MX480 Modular Port Concentrator (MPC) Description

Modular Port Concentrators (MPCs) provide packet forwarding services. The MPCs are inserted into a slot in a router. Modular Interface Cards (MICs) provide the physical interfaces and install into the MPCs. You can install up to two MICs of different media types on the same MPC as long as the MPC supports those MICs.

A specialized fixed configuration MPC provideshigher portdensity over MICsand combines packet forwarding and Ethernet interfacesonto a single line card. The fixed configuration MPC is inserted into a slot in a router and contains no slots for MICs.

MICs receive incoming packets from the network and transmit outgoing packets to the network. During this process, each MIC performs framing and high-speed signaling for its media type. Before transmitting outgoing data packets through the MIC interfaces, the MPCs encapsulate the packets received. Each MPC is equipped with up to four Junos Trio chipsets, which perform control functions tailored to the MPC’s media type. The MPCs interface with the power supplies and Switch Control Boards (SCBs). You must install redundant SCBs to support full line-rate.

Chapter 2: MX480 Hardware Components

The MX480 router supports up to six MPCs. You must install a high-capacity fan tray to use an MPC. For power requirements, see “Calculating Power Requirements for MX480

Routers” on page 285.

The router has six dedicated line card slots for DPCs, MPCs, or FPCs that are numbered

0 through 5 bottom to top. AnMPC canbe installedin anyslot onthe routerthat supports

MPCs. You can install any combination of line card types in the router.

When a slot is not occupied by an MPC or other line card, you must insert a blank DPC panel to fill the empty slot and ensure proper cooling of the system.

MPCs are hot-removable and hot-insertable. When you install an MPC in an operating router, the Routing Engine downloads the MPC software, the MPC runs its diagnostics, and thePacketForwarding Engineshoused onthe MPCare enabled. Forwarding onother MPCs continues uninterrupted during this process.

Figure 8 on page 14 shows a typical MPC supported on the MX480 router. For more

MX480 Routing Engine Description

The Routing Engineis anIntel-basedPC platformthat runs JunosOS. Software processes that runon the Routing Engine maintainthe routing tables, managethe routing protocols used on the router, control the router interfaces, control some chassis components, and provide the interface for system management and user access to the router.

You can install one or two Routing Engines in the router. The Routing Engines install into the front of the chassis in horizontal slots in the SCBs labeled 0 and 1. If two Routing Engines are installed, one functions as the master and the other acts as the backup. If the master Routing Engine fails oris removed, and the backup is configured appropriately, the backup takes over as the master.

The Routing Engines are hot-pluggable. Each Routing Engine must be installed directly into an SCB. A USB port on the Routing Engine accepts a USB memory card that allows you to load Junos OS.

Figure 16: Routing Engine

Routing Engine Components

NOTE: For specific information about Routing Engine components (for

example, the amount of DRAM), issue the show chassis routing-engine command.

Chapter 2: MX480 Hardware Components

Routing Engine Interface Ports

Three ports, located on the right side of the routing engine, connect the Routing Engine to one or more external devices on which system administrators can issue Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) commands to manage the router.

The ports with the indicated labels function as follows:

•

AUX—Connects the Routing Engine to a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device

through a serial cable with an RJ-45 connector.

•

CONSOLE—Connects the Routing Engine to a system console through a serial cable

with an RJ-45 connector.

•

ETHERNET—Connects the Routing Engine through an Ethernet connection to a

management LAN (or any other device that plugs into an Ethernet connection) for out-of-band management. The port uses an autosensing RJ-45 connector to support 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps connections. Two small LEDs on the top of the port indicate the connection in use: the LED flashes yellow or green for a 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps connection, and the LED is light green when traffic is passing through the port.

Documentation

Routing Engine Boot Sequence

The Routing Engine boots from the storage mediain this order: the USB device(if present), then the CompactFlash card, then the hard disk, then the LAN. The disk from which the router boots is called the primary boot device, and the other disk is the alternate boot device.

NOTE: If the router boots froman alternateboot device,a yellow alarmlights

the LED on the router’s craft interface.

If the Routing Engines are configured for graceful switchover, the backup Routing Engine automatically synchronizes its configuration and state with the master Routing Engine. Any update to the master Routing Engine state is replicated onthe backup Routing Engine. If the backup Routing Engine assumes mastership, packet forwarding continues through the router without interruption. For more information about graceful switchover, see the Junos OS System Basics Configuration Guide.

NOTE: If two Routing Engines are installed, they must both be the same

hardware model.

Figure 22: High-Capacity AC Power Supply

Chapter 2: MX480 Hardware Components

For more information about the AC power specifications, see the MX480 3D Universal

Edge Router Hardware Guide.

WARNING: The router is pluggable type A equipment installed in a

restricted-access location. It has a separate protective earthing terminal (sized for UNC 1/4-20 ground lugs) provided on the chassis in addition to the grounding pin of the power supply cord. This separate protective earthing terminal must be permanently connected to earth.

AC Power Supply Configurations

The MX480 router supports either the low-line (110 V) AC power configuration or the high-line (220 V) AC power configuration.

•

In the low-line (110 V) AC power configuration, the MX480 router contains three or four AC power supplies (see Figure 21 on page 42), located horizontally at the rear of the chassis in slots PEM0 through PEM3 (left to right). Each AC power supply provides power to all components in the router. When three power supplies are present, they share power almost equally within a fully populated system. Four AC power supplies provide full power redundancy. If one power supply fails or is removed, the remaining power supplies assume the entire electrical load without interruption. Three power supplies provide the maximum configuration with full power for as long as the router is operational. The low-line configuration requires three power supplies and the fourth power supply provides redundancy. With high-capacity power supplies,you must have a minimum of three power supplies installed in the router.

DC Power Supply Configurations

In the DC power configuration, the MX480 router contains either two or four DC power supplies (see Figure 23 on page 45) located at the rear of the chassis in slots PEM0 through PEM3 (left to right). You can upgrade your DC power system from two to four power supplies.

Four power supplies provide full redundancy. If a DC power supply in a redundant configuration is removed or fails, its redundant power supply takes over without interruption. The DC power supply in PEM2 serves as redundant to the DC power supply in slot PEM0, and the DC power supply in PEM3 serves as redundant to the DC power supply in slot PEM1. If only two DC power supplies are installed, they must be installed in slots PEM0 and PEM1 or in slots PEM2 and PEM3.

MX480 Cooling System Description

The cooling system consists of the following components:

•

Fan tray

•

Air filter

The cooling system components work together to keep all router components within the acceptable temperature range (see Figure 25 on page 47, Figure 26 on page 48, and

Figure 27 on page 48). The router has one fan tray and one air filter that install vertically

in the rear of the router. The fan tray contains six fans. The MX Series high-capacity fan trayssatisfy cooling requirements for high-densityDPCs andMPCs, andmust beupgraded for proper cooling.

The air intake to cool the chassis is located on the side of the chassis next to the air filter. Air is pulled through the chassis toward the fan tray, where it is exhausted out the side of thesystem. The airintake to coolthe powersupplies is located in the front of the router above the craft interface. The exhaust for the power supplies is located on the rear bulkhead power supplies.

Figure 25: Airflow Through the Chassis

The host subsystem monitors the temperature of the router components. When the router is operating normally, the fans function at lower than full speed. If a fan fails or the ambient temperature rises above a threshold, the speed of the remaining fans is automatically adjusted to keep the temperature within the acceptable range. If the

MX480 3D Universal Edge Router Hardware Guide

ambient maximum temperature specification is exceeded and the system cannot be adequately cooled, the Routing Engineshuts down the systemby disablingoutput power from each power supply.

•

Rack Size and Strength

The router isdesigned for installation ina 19-in. rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310-D) published by the Electronics

Industry Association (http://www.eia.org).

With the use of adapters or approved wing devices to narrow the opening between the rails, the router fits into a 600-mm-wide rack or cabinet , as defined in the four-part

Equipment Engineering (EE); European telecommunicationsstandard for equipment practice

(document number ETSI EN 300 119) published by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (http://www.etsi.org).

The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the router chassis's external dimensions: 14.0 in. (356 mm) high, 24.5 in. (622 mm) deep, and

17.45 in. (443 mm) wide. The spacing of rails and adjacent racks must also allow for the clearances around the router and rack that are specified in “MX480 Router Clearance

Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance” on page 56.

Rack Size and Strength on page 54

Spacing of Mounting Bracket Holes on page 55

Connection to Building Structure on page 56

Chapter 3: Preparing the Site for MX480 Router Installation

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.

For instructionsabout installingthe mounting hardware, see “Installingthe MX480 Router

Mounting Hardware for a Rack or Cabinet” on page 65.

The chassis height of 14.0 in. (35.6 cm) is approximately 8 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 five MX480 routers in a rack that has at least 48 U (84 in. or 2.13 m) of usable vertical space.

The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured router, up to 163.5 lb (74.2 kg). If you stack five fullyconfigured routers in one rack, it must becapable of supporting up to 818 lb (371.0 kg).

Figure 30: Typical Open-Frame Rack

Spacing of Mounting Bracket Holes

The router can be mounted in any rack that provides holes or hole patterns spaced at 1 U (1.75 in.) increments. The mounting brackets used to attach the chassis to a rack are designed to fasten to holes spaced at those distances.

MX480 3D Universal Edge Router Hardware Guide

Connection to Building Structure

Always secure the rack tothe structureof the building. If your geographicalarea issubject to earthquakes, bolt the rack to the floor. For maximum stability, also secure the rack to ceiling brackets.

MX480 Router Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance

When planning the installation site, you need to allow sufficient clearance around the rack (see Figure 31 on page 57):

•

For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be unrestricted. Allow at least 6 in. (15.2 cm) of clearance between side-cooled routers. Allow 2.8 in. (7 cm) between the side of the chassis and any non-heat-producing surface such as a wall.

•

For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be adequate space at the front and back of the router. At least 24 in. (61 cm) is required both in front of and behind the router. NEBS GR-63 recommends that you allow at least 30 in. (72.6 cm) in front of the rack and 24 in. (61.0 cm) behind the rack.

Airflow must always be from front to back with respect to the rack. If the device has side to rear airflow, then provisions must be made to ensure that fresh air from the front of the rack is supplied to the inlets, and exhaust exits the rear of the rack. The device must not interfere with the cooling of other systems in the rack. Fillers must be used as appropriate in the rack to ensure there is no recirculation of heated exhaust air back to the front of the rack. Care must also be taken around cables to ensure that no leakage of air in situations where recirculation may result.

The minimum size cabinet thatcan accommodatethe router is482 mmwide and800 mm deep. A cabinet larger thanthe minimum requirement provides better airflow and reduces the chance of overheating. To accommodate a single router, the cabinet must be at least 13 U high. If you provide adequate cooling air and airflow clearance, you can stack five routers in a cabinet that has at least 48 U (84 in. or 2.13 m) of usable vertical space.

The minimum front and rear clearance requirements depend on the mounting configuration you choose. The minimum total clearance inside the cabinet is 30.7 in. between the inside of the front door and the inside of the rear door.

MX480 3D Universal Edge Router Hardware Guide

MX480 Router Cabinet Airflow Requirements

Before you install the router in a cabinet, you must ensure that ventilation through the cabinet issufficient to prevent overheating. Consider the following requirements to when planning for chassis cooling:

•

Ensure that thecool airsupply you provide throughthe cabinetcan adequatelydissipate the thermal output of the router.

•

Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit from the cabinet without recirculating into the router. An open cabinet (without a top or doors) that employs hot air exhaust extraction from the top allows the best airflow through the chassis. If the cabinet contains a top or doors, perforations in these elements assist with removing the hot air exhaust. For an illustration of chassis airflow, see Figure 32

on page 58.

•

Install the router as close as possible to the front of the cabinet so that the cable management brackets just clear the inside of the front door. This maximizes the clearance in the rear of the cabinet for critical airflow.

Documentation

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

3. Simultaneously turn both the ejector handles counterclockwise to unseat the DPC.

4. Grasp the handles, and slide the DPC straight out of the card cage halfway.

5. Place one hand around the front of the DPC and the other hand under it to support it.

Slide the DPC completely out of the chassis, and place it on the antistatic mat or in the electrostatic bag.

CAUTION: The weight of the DPC is concentrated in the back end. Be

prepared to accept the full weight—up to 13.1 lb (5.9 kg)—as you slide the DPC out of the chassis.

When the DPC is out of the chassis, do not hold it by the ejector handles, bus bars, or edge connectors. They cannot support its weight.

Do not stack DPC on top of one another after removal. Place each one individually in an electrostatic bag or on its own antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.

Removing the FPCs Before Installing the MX480 Router with a Lift

To remove an FPC (see Figure 40 on page 74):

1. Have ready an antistatic mat for the FPC. Also have ready rubber safety caps for each

PIC using an optical interface on the PIC that you are removing.

2. Attach an electrostaticdischarge (ESD) groundingstrap to yourbare wrist,and connect

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

3. Simultaneously turn both the ejector handles counterclockwise to unseat the FPC.

4. Grasp the handles, and slide the FPC straight out of the card cage halfway.

5. Place one hand around the front of the FPC and the other hand under it to support it.

Slide the FPC completely out of the chassis, and place it on the antistatic mat or in the electrostatic bag.

CAUTION: The weight of the FPC is concentrated in the back end. Be

prepared to accept the full weight—up to 18 lb (8.2 kg)—as you slide the FPC out of the chassis.

When the FPC is out of the chassis, do not hold it by the ejector handles, bus bars, or edge connectors. They cannot support its weight.

Installing the MX480 Router Using a Mechanical Lift

Because of the router's size and weight—up to 163.5 lb (74.2 kg) depending on the configuration—we strongly recommend that you install the router using a mechanical lift. To make the router light enough to install with a lift, you must first remove most components from the chassis.

CAUTION: Before front mounting the router in a rack, have a qualified

technician verify that the rack is strong enough to support the router's weight and is adequately supported at the installation site.

To install the router using a lift (see Figure 41 on page 75):

1. Ensure that the rack is in its permanent location and is secured to the building. Ensure

that the installationsite allows adequate clearancefor bothairflow and maintenance.

2. Load the router onto the lift, making sure it rests securely on the lift platform.

3. Using the lift, position the router in front of the rack or cabinet, centering it in front of

the mounting shelf.

4. Lift the chassis approximately 0.75 in. above the surface of the mounting shelf and

position it as close as possible to the shelf.

Chapter 7: Installing the MX480 Router with a Mechanical Lift

5. Carefully slide the router onto the mounting shelf so that the bottom of the chassis

and the mounting shelf overlap by approximately two inches.

6. Slide the router onto the mounting shelf until the mounting brackets contact the rack

rails. The shelf ensures that the holes in the mounting brackets of the chassis align with the holes in the rack rails.

7. Move the lift away from the rack.

8. Install a mounting screw into each of the open mounting holes aligned with the rack,

starting from the bottom.

9. Visually inspect the alignment of the router. If the router is installed properly in the

rack, all the mounting screws on one side of the rack should be aligned with the mounting screws on the opposite side and the router should be level.

Reinstalling Components in the MX480 Router After Installing It with a Lift

After the router is installed in the rack, you reinstall the removed components before booting and configuring the router. The following procedures describe how to reinstall components in the chassis, first in the rear and then in the front:

Reinstalling the FPCs After Installing the MX480 Router with a Lift on page 80

Reinstalling the Power Supplies After Installing the MX480 Router with a Lift

Reinstall the rightmost power supply first and then work your way to the left. To reinstall the AC or DC power supplies, follow this procedure for each power supply (see Figure 42

on page 77, which shows the installation of the DC power supplies):

1. Attachan electrostatic discharge (ESD) groundingstrap to your bare wrist, and connect

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

2. On an AC-powered router, switch the AC input switch on each power supply to the

off (O) position. On a DC-powered router, Move the DC circuit breaker on each DC power supply to the off (O) position.

We recommend this even though the power supplies are not connected to power sources.

3. Using both hands, slide the power supply straight into the chassis until the power

supply is fully seated in the chassis slot. The power supply faceplate should be flush with any adjacent power supply faceplate or blank installed in the power supply slot.

4. Tighten the captive screws.
