MX104 Universal Routing Platform Overview
IN THIS SECTION
Benefits of MX104 Router | 2
System Overview | 3
The Juniper Networks MX104 Universal Routing Platform is optimized for aggregating mobile,
enterprise WAN, business, and residential access services. The MX104 router is designed for high-
density access and pre-aggregation and is environmentally hardened to allow outside deployments in
cabinets and remote terminals. The router is a high-performance router functioning as a universal
aggregation platform for mobile broadband and metro Ethernet applications. It also acts as a universal
edge platform supporting all types of private WAN, data center interconnect, Internet edge, business
edge, and residential edge services.
The router is powered by the Junos Trio chipset and runs the Junos® operating system (Junos OS) for
high-performance routing and switching. For a list of related Junos OS documentation, see https://
www.juniper.net/documentation/software/junos/.
Benefits of MX104 Router
• System Capacity—MX104 provides 80 Gbps of throughput. MX104 has four Modular Interface Card
(MIC) slots and supports redundant fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet interfaces for flexible network
connectivity.
• The Programmable Chipset—The chipset implemented in the MX Series routers has a programmable
forwarding data structure that allows fast microcode changes in the hardware itself, and a
programmable lookup engine that allows inline service processing. the chip’s programmable QoS
engine supports coarse and fine-grained queuing to address the requirements of core, edge, and
aggregation use cases.
• Always-on infrastructure base—MX Series routers ensure network and service availability with a
broad set of multilayered physical, logical, and protocol-level resiliency aspects. Junos OS Virtual
Chassis technology on MX Series routers supports chassis-level redundancy and enables you to
manage two routers as a single element. Multichassis link aggregation group (MC-LAG)
implementation supports stateful chassis, card, and port redundancy.
3
• Application-Aware Networking—On MX Series routers you can use deep packet inspection to detect
applications, and by using the user-defined policies, you can determine traffic treatment for each
application. This feature enables highly customized and differentiated services at scale.
• Junos Continuity and Unified In-Service Software Upgrade (Unified ISSU)—With the Junos
continuity plug-in package, you can perform a smooth upgrade when new hardware is installed in
your MX Series router.
Unified in-service software upgrade (unified ISSU) enables software upgrades and changes without
disrupting network traffic.
• Junos Telemetry Interface—Using the Junos telemetry interface data, you can stream component-
level data to monitor, analyze, and enhance the performance of the network. Analytics derived from
this streaming telemetry can identify current and trending congestion, resource utilization, traffic
volume, and buffer occupancy.
• Integrated Hardware-Based Timing— You do not need to use external clocks because MX Series
routers support highly scalable and reliable hardware-based timing, including Synchronous Ethernet
for frequency, and the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for frequency and phase synchronization.
Synchronous Ethernet and PTP can be combined in a hybrid mode to achieve a high level of
frequency (10 ppb) and phase (<1.5 uS) accuracy.
System Overview
The chassis is a rigid sheet metal structure that houses all the other router components (see Figure 1 on
page 4 and Figure 2 on page 4). The hardware system provides resiliency and redundancy, including
power supplies and Routing Engines. The chassis also has four built-in 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports
and four slots that accept Modular Interface Cards (MICs). For a list of the supported MICs, see the MX
Series Interface Module Reference.
The router is environmentally hardened and is 3.5 rack units (U; that is, 6.125 in., or 15.55 cm) tall.
Several routers can be stacked in a single floor-to-ceiling rack, for increased port density per unit of floor
4
space. The chassis is installed in standard 11.81 in. (30 cm)-deep (or larger) enclosed cabinets, 19-in.
equipment racks, or telco open-frame racks.

MX104 Component Redundancy
The MX104 chassis provides redundancy and resiliency. The hardware system is fully redundant,
including power supplies, Routing Engines, and cooling system.
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:
9
• Power supplies—In a redundant configuration, the router contains either two AC or DC power
supplies that install into the front of the chassis. The slots are labeled PS 0 and PS 1 (left to right).
Each power supply provides power to all components in the router. When two power supplies are
present, they share power almost equally within a fully populated system. If one power supply in a
redundant configuration fails or is removed, the remaining power supplies 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.
• Routing Engine—If two Routing Engines are installed, one functions as the primary and the other
functions as the backup. If the primary Routing Engine fails, the backup can take over as the primary.
• Cooling system—The cooling 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.
MX104 Alarm Contact Port Overview
The MX104 router has four external alarm contacts (also known as potential free contacts) for
connecting the router to external alarm devices. The port labeled ALARM uses a 15-pin D-type
connector. The external alarm contact has 15 pins that accept a single core wire from external alarm
devices. A DE-15 alarm cable is required to connect the MX104 router to external alarm devices. Use
the gauge wire appropriate for the external device that you are connecting.
Whenever a system condition triggers an alarm, the alarm relay contacts are activated, which in turn
activates the external alarm devices. The alarm setting is open or closed.
You can connect and configure two output alarms and four input alarms. Two additional output alarms
are reserved and are used to indicate major and minor system alarms. Each output and input alarm has
two contacts for connecting the router to external alarm devices. Contact 1 of each alarm can be
configured as Normally Open [NO] or Normally Closed [NC] through the CLI. Contact 2 of each alarm
functions as a reference [REF] or negative potential terminal for Contact 1 of the corresponding alarm
and provides a current path for external alarm devices. Table 2 on page 9 describes the functions of
the alarm contacts.
Table 2: Alarm Relay Contact Functions
Contact Name Contact Name Function
Contact 1 Normally Open [NO] Current is not flowing through Contact 1 and Contact 2 [REF] when
operating normally. When the current flows, the closed alarm is
generated.
10
Table 2: Alarm Relay Contact Functions (Continued)
Contact Name Contact Name Function
Normally Closed Current is flowing through Contact 1 and Contact 2 [REF] when
[NC] operating normally. When the current stops flowing, the open alarm is
generated.
Contact 2 Reference [REF] Provides the current path for the external alarm-reporting device and
functions as a reference or negative potential terminal for Contact 1.
Figure 4 on page 10 shows an example of a wiring diagram for a simple output alarm-reporting device.
In this case, the device is a light bulb that illuminates when the device encounters a condition that
activates the red alarm LED and relay contacts. The alarm relay contacts can also be used to activate
other devices such as bells or buzzers.

Figure 5 on page 11 shows an example of a wiring diagram for a simple input alarm-reporting device. In
this case, the push button switch is an alarm sensor that triggers an input alarm when a door-open
condition occurs.

MX104 Cooling System and Airflow Overview
The cooling system in an MX104 router consists of the following components (see Figure 7 on page
14):
• Fan tray
• Air filter
Figure 7: MX104 Fan Tray and Air Filter
The router has one hot-swappable fan tray that contains five fans. The air filter installs into the side of
the fan tray. The air intake to cool the chassis is located on the right side of the chassis next to the air
filter. Air is pulled through the air filter toward the fan tray, where it is exhausted out the left side of the
15
system (see Figure 8 on page 15). The exhaust for the power supplies is located on the left side of the
chassis.
Figure 8: Cooling System and Airflow in an MX104 Router
The cooling system components work together to keep all router components within the acceptable
temperature range. The chassis 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 ambient maximum temperature specification is
exceeded and the system cannot be adequately cooled, the Routing Engine shuts down the system by
disabling output power from each power supply.

MX104 Power Overview
IN THIS SECTION
AC Power Supplies | 17
DC Power Supplies | 17
Power Supply LEDs | 18
The MX104 router uses either AC or DC power supplies (see Figure 9 on page 17 and Figure 10 on
page 18). The power supplies are located in the front of the chassis and offer 1+1 redundancy. Each
power supply has a handle, an ejection tab, and a status LED.
CAUTION: The router cannot be powered from AC and DC power supplies

simultaneously.
When two power supplies are present, they share power almost equally within a fully populated system.
If one power supply in a redundant configuration fails or is removed, the remaining power supply
assumes the entire electrical load without interruption. A single power supply provides the maximum
configuration with full power for as long as the router is operational. A second power supply can be
installed for redundancy. Each power supply is cooled by its own internal cooling system.
17
Redundant power supplies are hot-removable and hot-insertable. When you remove a power supply
from a router that uses only one power supply, the router might shut down depending on your
configuration.
AC Power Supplies
Each AC power supply weighs approximately 2.5 lb (1.13 kg) and consists of a handle, a power cord
retainer clip, an ejection latch, an AC appliance inlet, a fan, and an LED to monitor the status of the
power supply. Figure 9 on page 17 shows the power supply.
Each inlet requires a dedicated AC power feed and a dedicated customer site circuit breaker. We
recommend that you use a dedicated customer site circuit breaker rated for 10 A (100 VAC), or as
required by local code.
Figure 9: AC Power Supply
WARNING: The router is pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted-access

location. It has a separate protective earthing terminal (sized for SAE 10-32 ground
screws) provided on the chassis in addition to the grounding pin of the power supply
cord. This separate protective earthing terminal must be permanently connected to
earth.
DC Power Supplies
Each DC power supply weighs approximately 3 lb (1.36 kg) and consists of a handle, an ejection latch, a
status LED, a grounding point, and a terminal block that provides a single DC input (24, –48, or –60 VDC
18
and return) that requires a dedicated customer site circuit breaker. We recommend that you provide at
least 40 A @ 24 VDC and use a facility circuit breaker. Figure 10 on page 18 shows the power supply.

MX104 AC Power Cord Specifications
Each AC power supply has a single AC appliance inlet that requires a dedicated AC power feed. Most
sites distribute power through a main conduit that leads to frame-mounted power distribution panels,
one of which can be located at the top of the rack that houses the router. An AC power cord connects
each power supply to the power distribution panel.
You can order detachable AC power cords, each approximately 8 ft (2.5 m) long that supply AC power to
the router. The C15 appliance coupler at the socket end of the cord, as described by International

MX104 Boot Sequence | 30
MX104 Routing Engine and its Specifications | 30
The Routing Engine is a Freescale-based PC platform that runs Junos OS. Software processes that run
on the Routing Engine maintain the routing tables, manage the 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 Engine installs into the front of the
chassis. Two USB ports on the Routing Engine accept a USB memory card that allows you to load Junos
OS.
If two Routing Engines are installed, one functions as the primary and the other acts as the backup. If
the primary Routing Engine fails or is removed and the backup is configured appropriately, the backup
takes over as the primary. The backup Routing Engine is hot-insertable and hot-removable.
The MX104 router supports the Routing Engine with model number RE-MX104.
Figure 12: MX104 Routing Engine
MX104 Routing Engine Components
Five 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 Routing Engine consists of the following components:
• 1.8-GHz CPU—Runs Junos OS to maintain the router's routing tables and routing protocols.
• 4-GB DDR3 RAM (mini DIMM)—Provides storage for the routing and forwarding tables and for other
Routing Engine processes.
28
• 8-GB on-board NAND Flash—Provides primary storage for software images, configuration files, and
microcode. The NAND flash is fixed and is inaccessible from outside the router.
• Interface ports—Provides access to management devices.
• AUX—Not supported.
• 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). The port uses an autosensing
RJ-45 connector to support 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps connections. Two small LEDs on
the right of the port indicate the connection in use: see "MX104 Routing Engine LEDs" on page
29.
• Two USB ports—Provide a removable media interface through which you can install the Junos OS
manually. Junos OS supports USB version 1.0.
• Online/Offline button—Takes the Routing Engine online or offline when pressed (see "MX104
Routing Engine Buttons" on page 28).
• Reset button—Reboots the Routing Engine when pressed (see "MX104 Routing Engine Buttons" on
page 28).
• LEDs—Indicates the status of the Routing Engine and its ports (see "MX104 Routing Engine LEDs" on
page 29)
MX104 Routing Engine Buttons
Each Routing Engine has two push-button controls. The buttons, labeled ONLINE OFFLINE, and RESET,
are located directly on the faceplate of the Routing Engine. Table 10 on page 28 describes the

MX104 Boot Sequence
The MX104 router ships with Junos OS preinstalled and ready to be configured when the router is
powered on. One eight-GB internal NAND Flash memory (da0) acts as the hard drive. Two USB ports on
the front panel accept USB storage devices (usb0 and usb1) that can also function as alternative boot
devices.
When the router boots, it first attempts to start the image on the USB 0 flash memory device, if present,
then attempts to start the image on the USB 1 flash memory device, if present. If a USB flash memory
device is not inserted into either of the two slots on the Routing Engine, or the attempt otherwise fails,
the router next tries the active partition on the NAND Flash device.

MX104 Modular Interface Card (MIC) Overview
IN THIS SECTION
Front-Pluggable MICs | 32
Built-in 10-Gigabit Ethernet MIC | 32
MIC LEDs | 34
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 Packet Forwarding Engine encapsulates the
packets received.
The MX104 routers support the following types of MICs:
Front-Pluggable MICs
Modular Interface Cards (MICs) install into four slots in the front of the MX104 router and provide the
physical connections to various network media types. MICs are hot-removable and hot-insertable. The
slots are labeled 0/0, 0/1, 1/0, and 1/1. You can install MICs of different media types on the same
router as long as the router supports those MICs. For complete specifications, see MICs Supported by

35
Identifying Interface Numbers on the Hardware
Each MX104 router has three built-in MPCs, which are represented in the CLI as FPC 0 through FPC 2. The
numbering of the MPCs is from bottom to top (see Figure 13 on page 36).
NOTE: The port numbers on MICs correspond to the port numbers on the interface. The port
numbering on the MIC-3D-20GE-SFP-EH MIC depicted in Figure 13 on page 36 is only one
example of the port numbering for MICs.
Each MIC might number ports differently—horizontally or vertically, for example—and it is
important to review the port numbering for your particular MIC in the MX Series Interface
Module Reference.
MPC 0 and MPC 1 have two slots each that accept MICs. The MICs are represented as MIC 0 and MIC 1 in
the CLI and are logically divided into PICs depending on their type. A MIC installed in the left-most MIC
slot (0/0 or 1/0) is represented in the CLI as PIC 0 and PIC 1. A MIC installed in the right-most MIC slot
(0/1 or 1/1) is represented as PIC 2 and PIC 3.
36
MPC 2 houses a 4-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet MIC. Both the MPC and the MIC are considered fixed and
are built into the front panel of the chassis. The MPC is represented as FPC 2 in the CLI. The MIC is
represented as MIC 0 in the CLI and is logically divided into a single PIC, which is represented as PIC 0.

Identifying Interface Numbers in the CLI
In the physical part of the interface name, a hyphen (-) separates the media type from the MPC number
(represented as an FPC in the CLI), and a slash (/) separates the logical PIC and port numbers:
type-fpc/pic/port
• type—Media type, which identifies the network device. For example:
• ge—Gigabit Ethernet interface
• so—SONET/SDH interface
• xe—10-Gigabit Ethernet interface
For a complete list of media types, see Interface Naming Overview.
• fpc—Slot in which the MPC is installed. On the MX104 router, the three MPCs are built into the
chassis and are represented in the CLI as FPC 0, FPC 1, or FPC 2.
• pic—Logical PIC on the MIC. The number of logical PICs varies depending on the type of MIC.
38
• port—Port number.
NOTE: The MIC number is not included in the interface name.
The following sample CLI output displays the three built-in MPCs and five MICs.

MX104 Router Environmental Specifications
The router must be installed in a rack or cabinet housed in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and
temperature-controlled environment.
Ensure that these environmental guidelines are followed:
• The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and filters, reducing
the efficiency of the router cooling system.
46
• Maintain ambient airflow for normal router operation. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the
intake air is too warm, the router might overheat, leading to the router temperature monitor shutting
down the router to protect the hardware components.
NOTE: Depending on the ambient temperature, it may take up to 5 minutes for the router to
heat up to the operating temperature.
Table 17 on page 46 provides the required environmental conditions for normal router operation.

MX104 Chassis Grounding Cable and Lug Specifications
IN THIS SECTION
Grounding Points Specifications | 47
Grounding Cable Lug Specifications | 49
Grounding Cable Specifications | 51
Grounding Points Specifications
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, the
router must be adequately grounded before power is connected. To ground AC-powered and DC-
powered routers, you must connect a grounding cable to earth ground and then attach it to the chassis
grounding points using two washers and two screws (see Figure 14 on page 48).
Two threaded holes are provided on the front the router chassis for connecting the router to earth
ground. The grounding points fit SAE 10-32 screws (American). The grounding points are spaced at
0.625-in. (15.86-mm) centers.
You must install the MX104 router in a restricted-access location and ensure that the chassis is always
properly grounded. The MX104 router has a two-hole protective grounding terminal provided on the
chassis. See Figure 14 on page 48. We recommend that you use this protective grounding terminal as
the preferred method for grounding the chassis regardless of the power supply configuration. However,
if additional grounding methods are available, you can also use those methods. For example, you can use
the grounding wire in the AC power cord or use the grounding terminal or lug on a DC power
48
supply. This tested system meets or exceeds all applicable EMC regulatory requirements with the two-
hole protective grounding terminal.
Figure 14: Grounding Points on the MX104 Routers
NOTE: All bare grounding connection points to the router must be cleaned and coated with an
antioxidant solution before grounding the router.
NOTE: All surfaces on the router that are unplated must be brought to a bright finish and treated
with an antioxidant solution before connecting the router.
NOTE: All nonconductive surfaces on the router must be removed from all threads and
connection points to ensure electrical continuity.
49
Grounding Cable Lug Specifications
The grounding cable lug is used to secure the grounding cable to the grounding points on the chassis.
The grounding cable lug attaches to the grounding cable and is secured to the router by two SAE 10-32
screws. We recommend using washers between the grounding lug and the screws. The grounding cable
50
lug, screws, and washers are supplied with the router. See Figure 15 on page 50 for AC systems and
Figure 16 on page 51 for 24 VDC systems.
Figure 15: Grounding Cable Lug for MX104 AC Systems

51
Figure 16: Grounding Cable Lug for MX104 24 VDC Systems
CAUTION: Before you install the router, 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.
CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the grounding screws on the router is 4.34
lb-in. (0.49 Nm). The grounding screws may be damaged if excessive torque is applied.
Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten screws. Use an appropriately sized driver,
with a maximum torque capacity of 5 lb-in. or less. Ensure that the driver is undamaged
and properly calibrated and that you have been trained in its use. You may wish to use a
driver that is designed to prevent overtorque when the preset torque level is achieved.
Grounding Cable Specifications
You must provide one grounding cable that meets the following specifications:
• For AC systems, use 14-AWG (2.08 mm2) 90° C wire. See, Figure 15 on page 50
• For 24 VDC systems, use 6-AWG (13.3 mm2) 60° C wire, or as required by the local code. See Figure

Table 19: Cabinet Requirements and Specifications for the MX104 Router (Continued)
Cabinet Requirement Guidelines
Cabinet airflow requirements When you mount the router in a cabinet, ensure that
ventilation through the cabinet is sufficient to prevent
overheating.
• Ensure an adequate cool air supply to dissipate the

thermal output of the router or routers.
• Ensure that the cabinet allows the hot exhaust air

from the chassis to exit 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.
• Install the router in the cabinet in a way that

maximizes the open space on the side of the
chassis that has the hot air exhaust. This space
maximizes the clearance for critical airflow.
• Route and dress all cables to minimize the

blockage of airflow to and from the chassis.
• Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent

cabinets allows for proper clearance around the
router and cabinet.
• A cabinet larger than the minimum required

provides better airflow and reduces the chance of
overheating.

Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance on

MX104 Routers
When planning the installation site, allow sufficient clearance around the rack (see Figure 17 on page
56):
• 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 router.

Calculating Power Budget and Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables
IN THIS SECTION
How to Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cables | 57
How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables | 58
Use the information in this topic and the specifications for your optical interface to calculate the power
budget and power margin for fiber-optic cables.
TIP: You can use the Hardware Compatibility Tool to find information about the pluggable
transceivers supported on your Juniper Networks device.
To calculate the power budget and power margin, perform the following tasks:
How to Calculate Power Budget for Fiber-Optic Cables

To ensure that fiber-optic connections have sufficient power for correct operation, you need to calculate
the link's power budget, which is the maximum amount of power it can transmit. When you calculate
the power budget, you use a worst-case analysis to provide a margin of error, even though all the parts
of an actual system do not operate at the worst-case levels. To calculate the worst-case estimate of
power budget (PB), you assume minimum transmitter power (PT) and minimum receiver sensitivity (PR):
PB = PT – PR
58
The following hypothetical power budget equation uses values measured in decibels (dB) and decibels
referred to one milliwatt (dBm):
PB = PT – PR
PB = –15 dBm – (–28 dBm)
PB = 13 dB
How to Calculate Power Margin for Fiber-Optic Cables

After calculating a link's power budget, you can calculate the power margin (PM), which represents the
amount of power available after subtracting attenuation or link loss (LL) from the power budget (PB). A
worst-case estimate of PM assumes maximum LL:
PM = PB – LL
PM greater 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 20 on page 58 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.
Table 20: Estimated Values for Factors Causing Link Loss
Link-Loss Factor Estimated Link-Loss Value
Higher-order mode losses Single mode—None
Multimode—0.5 dB
Modal and chromatic dispersion Single mode—None
Multimode—None, if product of bandwidth and distance is less than 500 MHz-

km
Faulty connector 0.5 dB
Splice 0.5 dB
59
Table 20: Estimated Values for Factors Causing Link Loss (Continued)
Link-Loss Factor Estimated Link-Loss Value
Fiber attenuation Single mode—0.5 dB/km
Multimode—1 dB/km
The following sample calculation for a 2-km-long multimode link with a power budget (PB) of 13 dB uses
the estimated values from Table 20 on page 58. This example calculates link loss (LL) as the sum of fiber
attenuation (2 km @ 1 dB/km, or 2 dB) and loss for five connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or 2.5 dB) and
two splices (0.5 dB per splice, or 1 dB) as well as higher-order mode losses (0.5 dB). The power margin
(PM) is calculated as follows:
PM = PB – LL
PM = 13 dB – 2 km (1 dB/km) – 5 (0.5 dB) – 2 (0.5 dB) – 0.5 dB
PM = 13 dB – 2 dB – 2.5 dB – 1 dB – 0.5 dB
PM = 7 dB
The following sample calculation for an 8-km-long single-mode link with a power budget (PB) of 13 dB
uses the estimated values from Table 20 on page 58. This example calculates link loss (LL) as the sum of
fiber attenuation (8 km @ 0.5 dB/km, or 4 dB) and loss for seven connectors (0.5 dB per connector, or
3.5 dB). The power margin (PM) is calculated as follows:
PM = PB – LL
PM = 13 dB – 8 km (0.5 dB/km) – 7(0.5 dB)
PM = 13 dB – 4 dB – 3.5 dB
PM = 5.5 dB
In both examples, the calculated power margin is greater than zero, indicating that the link has sufficient
power for transmission and does not exceed the maximum receiver input power.

Fiber-Optic Cable Signal Loss, Attenuation, and Dispersion
IN THIS SECTION

Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable | 60
Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cable
Multimode fiber is large enough in diameter to allow rays of light to reflect internally (bounce off the
walls of the fiber). Interfaces with multimode optics typically use LEDs as light sources. However, LEDs
are not coherent sources. They spray varying wavelengths of light into the multimode fiber, which
reflects the light at different angles. Light rays travel in jagged lines through a multimode fiber, causing
signal dispersion. When light traveling in the fiber core radiates into the fiber cladding, higher-order
mode loss results. Together these factors limit the transmission distance of multimode fiber compared
with single-mode fiber.
Single-mode fiber is so small in diameter that rays of light can reflect internally through one layer only.
Interfaces with single-mode optics use lasers as light sources. Lasers generate a single wavelength of
light, which travels in a straight line through the single-mode fiber. Compared with multimode fiber,
single-mode fiber has higher bandwidth and can carry signals for longer distances.
Exceeding the maximum transmission distances can result in significant signal loss, which causes
unreliable transmission.
Attenuation and Dispersion in Fiber-Optic Cable
Correct functioning of an optical data link depends on modulated light reaching the receiver with
enough power to be demodulated correctly. Attenuation is the reduction in power of the light signal as it
is transmitted. Attenuation is caused by passive media components such as cables, cable splices, and
connectors. Although attenuation is significantly lower for optical fiber than for other media, it still
occurs in both multimode and single-mode transmission. An efficient optical data link must have enough
light available to overcome attenuation.
Dispersion is the spreading of the signal over time. The following two types of dispersion can affect an
optical data link:
• Chromatic dispersion—Spreading of the signal over time, resulting from the different speeds of light
rays.
61
• Modal dispersion—Spreading of the signal over time, resulting from the different propagation modes
in the fiber.
For multimode transmission, modal dispersion—rather than chromatic dispersion or attenuation—usually

limits the maximum bit rate and link length. For single-mode transmission, modal dispersion is not a
factor. However, at higher bit rates and over longer distances, chromatic dispersion rather than modal
dispersion limits maximum link length.
An efficient optical data link must have enough light to exceed the minimum power that the receiver
requires to operate within its specifications. In addition, the total dispersion must be less than the limits
specified for the type of link in Telcordia Technologies document GR-253-CORE (Section 4.3) and
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) document G.957.
When chromatic dispersion is at the maximum allowed, its effect can be considered as a power penalty
in the power budget. The optical power budget must allow for the sum of component attenuation,
power penalties (including those from dispersion), and a safety margin for unexpected losses.

MX104 Clocking and Timing Ports Overview
Four Subminiature B (SMB) connectors (for 10-MHz and 1-PPS), one RJ-48 port (for BITS), and one
RS-232 port (for TOD) on the front panel of the router connect to external clock signal sources. The
clocking ports provide the synchronized output clocks from any one of the reference clock inputs based
on the clock’s priority.
The reference clock inputs can be Ethernet-recovered clocks, T1 or E1 line clocks, IEEE 1588v2-
recovered clocks, BITS timing, 10-MHz timing, and 1-PPS timing. The T1 or E1 line clock also supports
loop timing. These clocking ports distribute a synchronized clock signal throughout the chassis by
locking onto the selected clock source. In the absence of these configured ports, the local oscillator
present in the system provides the chassis synchronization.
Clock sources within the MX104 router include:
• External clock timing port
• 10-MHz timing connectors (one input and one output)
• 1-pulse-per-second (PPS) connectors (one input and one output)
• Time-of-day (TOD) RS-232 port
• Synchronous Ethernet support on SFP ports as timing input or output
• Packet (IEEE 1588-2008) v2 timing includes:
• Timing input when configured as Ordinary Clock (OC) or Boundary Clock (BC)
• Timing output when configured as BC

Connecting the MX104 to Power
IN THIS SECTION
Connecting the MX104 Router to Earth Ground
To ground the router, you need the following tools:
• Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
• ESD grounding wrist strap
• Two SAE 10-32 screws and flat washers
• Grounding lug, Panduit LCD10-10-L
• Grounding cable that meets the following specifications:
• For AC systems—Use a 14-AWG (2.08 mm2) 90° C wire
• For 24 V systems—Use 6-AWG (13.3 mm2) 60° C wire (not provided)
You ground the router by connecting a grounding cable to earth ground and then attaching it to the
chassis grounding points on the front of the router. To ground the router:
1. Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug provided with the router to the grounding
cable.
2. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to an
approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
3. Ensure that all grounding surfaces are clean and brought to a bright finish before grounding
connections are made.
4. Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
5. Detach the ESD grounding strap from the site ESD grounding point.
85
6. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to an ESD
grounding point.
7. Place the grounding cable lug over the grounding points on the front of the chassis (see Figure 20 on
page 86).
8. Secure the grounding cable lug with the washers and screws. The holes are sized for SAE 10-32
screws. Apply 4.34 lb-in. (0.49 Nm) of torque to each screw. Do not overtighten the screw. (Use a
number 2 Phillips screwdriver.)
CAUTION: Ensure that each grounding cable lug seats flush against the surface of the
grounding points as you are tightening the screws. Ensure that each screw is properly
threaded into the grounding points. Applying installation torque to the screw when it is
improperly threaded may damage the terminal.
CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the grounding screws on the router is 4.34
lb-in. (0.49 Nm). The grounding screws may be damaged if excessive torque is applied.
Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten screws. Use an appropriately sized
driver, with a maximum torque capacity of 5 lb-in. or less. Ensure that the driver is
undamaged and properly calibrated and that you have been trained in its use. You may
wish to use a driver that is designed to prevent overtorque when the preset torque
level is achieved.
86
9. Dress the grounding cable, and verify that it does not touch or block access to router components,
and that it does not drape where people could trip on it.

3. Remove the plastic cover protecting the terminal on the faceplate.

4. Verify that the DC power cables are correctly labeled before making connections to the power
supply. In a typical power distribution scheme where the return is connected to chassis ground at
the battery plant, you can use a multimeter to verify the resistance of the –48V and return DC
cables to chassis ground:
For –48V and –60V:
a. The cable with very high resistance (indicating an open circuit) to chassis ground is the DC input
cable (–).
b. The cable with very low resistance (indicating a closed circuit) to chassis ground is the return
cable (+).
For +24V:
a. The cable with very low resistance (indicating a closed circuit) to chassis ground is the DC input
cable (–).
b. The cable with very high resistance (indicating an open circuit) to chassis ground is the return
cable (+).
5. Install heat-shrink tubing insulation around the power cables.
To install heat-shrink tubing:
91
a. Slide the tubing over the portion of the cable where it is attached to the lug barrel. Ensure that
tubing covers the end of the wire and the barrel of the lug attached to it.
b. Shrink the tubing with a heat gun. Ensure that you heat all sides of the tubing evenly so that it
shrinks around the cable tightly.
Figure 23 on page 91 shows the steps to install heat-shrink tubing.
NOTE: Do not overheat the tubing.
Figure 23: How to Install Heat-Shrink Tubing
6. Remove the cover protecting the terminal studs on the faceplate.

7. Remove the screws and washers from the terminals.
8. Secure each power cable lug to the terminal with the washers and screw (see Figure 24 on page
93). Apply 27.4 lb-in. (3.1 Nm) of torque to each screw. Do not overtighten the screw. (Use a
number 2 Phillips screwdriver.)
a. Secure the positive DC source power cable lug to the return (+) terminal.
b. Secure the negative DC source power cable lug to the input (–) terminal.
92
CAUTION: Ensure that each power cable lug seats flush against the surface of the
terminal block as you are tightening the screws. Ensure that each screw is properly
threaded into the terminal. Applying installation torque to the screw when it is
improperly threaded may damage the terminal.
CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the terminal screws on the DC power
supply is 27.4 lb-in. (3.1 Nm). The terminal screws may be damaged if excessive
torque is applied. Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten screws on the DC
power supply terminals. Use an appropriately-sized driver, with a maximum torque
capacity of 27.4 lb-in. or less. Ensure that the driver is undamaged and properly
calibrated and that you have been trained in its use. You may wish to use a driver
that is designed to prevent overtorque when the preset torque level is achieved.
9. Replace the plastic cover over the terminals on the faceplate.

10. Connect each DC power cable to the appropriate external DC power source.
NOTE: For information about connecting to external DC power sources, see the instructions
for your site.
11. Switch on the external circuit breakers to provide voltage to the DC power source cable leads.
12. Repeat Step 2 through Step 11 for the remaining power supply.
13. Observe the LED on the power supply. The LED blinks green as it transitions online. If the power
supply is functioning normally, the LED lights green steadily.

Connecting Interface Cables to MX104 Routers
To connect the physical interfaces to the network (see Figure 29 on page 99):
1. Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the component. For MIC cable specifications, see
the MX Series Interface Module Reference.
2. Remove the rubber safety plug from the cable connector port.
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends
of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to a
transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered, except when inserting or

removing a cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and protects your eyes from
accidental exposure to laser light.
3. Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the faceplate.
NOTE: The XFP cages and optics on the components are industry standard parts that have
limited tactile feedback for insertion of optics and fiber. You need to insert the optics and
fiber firmly until the latch is securely in place.
4. Arrange the cable to prevent it from dislodging or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it
is not supporting its own weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly
coiled loop.
99
CAUTION: Avoid bending a fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that
are difficult to diagnose.
CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow
the fastened loops of a cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.
Figure 29: Attaching a Cable to a MIC
Initially Configuring the MX104 Router
The MX104 router ships with Junos OS preinstalled and ready to be configured when the router is
powered on. One 8-GB internal NAND Flash memory (da0) acts as the hard drive. Two USB ports on the
front panel accept USB storage devices (usb0 and usb1) that can also function as alternative boot devices.
When the router boots, it first attempts to start the image on the USB 0 flash memory device, if present,
then attempts to start the image on the USB 1 flash memory device, if present. If a USB flash memory
device is not inserted into either of the two slots on the Routing Engine, or the attempt otherwise fails,
the router next tries the active partition on the NAND Flash device.
100
You configure the router by issuing Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) commands, either on a
console device attached to the CONSOLE port on the front panel, or over a telnet connection to a
network connected to the Routing Engine ETHERNET port on the front panel.
NOTE: For the initial configuration, use a device attached to the CONSOLE port.
Gather the following information before configuring the router:
• Name that the router will use on the network
• Domain name that the router will use
• IP address and prefix length information for the Ethernet interface
• IP address of a default router
• IP address of a DNS server
• Password for the root user
This procedure connects the router to the network but does not enable it to forward traffic. For
complete information about enabling the router to forward traffic, including examples, see the Junos OS
configuration guides.
To configure the software:
1. Verify that the router is powered on.

2. Log in as the “root” user. There is no password.
3. Start the CLI.

Disconnecting an MX104 Fiber-Optic Cable

The MX104 router has field-replaceable unit (FRU) optical transceivers to which you can connect fiber-
optic cables.
Before you begin disconnecting a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in an MX104
router, ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see "Laser
Safety Warnings for Juniper Networks Devices" on page 191).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• A rubber safety cap to cover the transceiver
• A rubber safety cap to cover the fiber-optic cable connector
To disconnect a fiber-optic cable from an optical transceiver installed in the router:
1. Disable the port in which the transceiver is installed by issuing the following command:
[edit interfaces]
user@router# set interface-name disable
of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to
transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
2. Carefully unplug the fiber-optic cable connector from the transceiver.

3. Cover the transceiver with a rubber safety cap.
113
LASER WARNING: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when

inserting or removing a cable. The rubber safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents
accidental exposure to laser light.
4. Cover the fiber-optic cable connector with the rubber safety cap.
Connecting an MX104 Fiber-Optic Cable

Before you begin connecting a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in a router, ensure that
you have taken the necessary precautions for safe handling of lasers (see "General Laser Safety
Guidelines for Juniper Networks Devices" on page 190).
MX104 routers have field-replaceable unit (FRU) optical transceivers to which you can connect fiber-
optic cables.
To connect a fiber-optic cable to an optical transceiver installed in a router:
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of
fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected to
transceivers emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
1. If the fiber-optic cable connector is covered by a rubber safety cap, remove the cap. Save the cap.
2. Remove the rubber safety cap from the optical transceiver. Save the cap.
3. Insert the cable connector into the optical transceiver (see Figure 32 on page 113).
Figure 32: Connecting a Fiber-Optic Cable to an Optical Transceiver Installed in a Router
4. Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable out of the
way in a neatly coiled loop. Placing fasteners on a loop helps cables maintain their shape.
114
CAUTION: Do not bend fiber-optic cables beyond their minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cables and cause problems that
Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow fastened
loops of cables to dangle, which stresses the cables at the fastening point.

122
Purpose
For optimum cooling, verify the condition of the air filter.
Action
• Regularly inspect the air filter. A dirty air filter restricts airflow in the unit, producing a negative effect
on the ventilation of the chassis. The filter degrades over time. You must replace the filter every 6
months.
CAUTION: Always keep the air filter in place while the router is operating. Because the
fans are very powerful, they could pull small bits of wire or other materials into the
router through the unfiltered air intake. This could damage the router components.
• The shelf life of polyurethane filter varies from two years to five years depending on the storage
conditions. Store in a cool, dry, and dark environment. Wrap the media in plastic and store in an
environment with relative humidity between 40%- 80% and temperature between 40°F (4° C) to
90°F (32° C). Note that if the material flakes, or becomes brittle when rubbed or deformed, it is no
longer usable.

Effect of Taking the MX104 Routing Engine Offline

Before you replace a Routing Engine, you must take the Routing Engine offline. The Routing Engine is
hot-pluggable.
Normally, if two Routing Engines are installed in the router, RE 0 functions as the primary and RE 1
functions as the backup. You can remove the backup Routing Engine (or either of its components)
without interrupting the functioning of the router. If you take the primary Routing Engine offline, the
backup Routing Engine becomes the primary (the router might reboot, depending on your configuration).
If the router has only one Routing Engine, taking the Routing Engine offline causes the router to shut
down. The effect of taking the primary Routing Engine offline varies depending on your configuration of
high availability features.
Table 1 explains the effect of taking the Routing Engine offline.
Table 35: Effect of Taking the Routing Engine Offline
Type of Routing Engine Effect of Taking the Routing Engine Offline
Nonredundant Routing The router shuts down.

Engine
Backup Routing Engine The functioning of the router is not interrupted. The backup Routing Engine is hot-
removable and hot-insertable.
129
Table 35: Effect of Taking the Routing Engine Offline (Continued)
Type of Routing Engine Effect of Taking the Routing Engine Offline
Primary Routing Engine The backup Routing Engine becomes the primary. The backup Routing Engine
assumes Routing Engine functions. The primary Routing Engine is hot-pluggable.
Removal or failure of the primary Routing Engine affects forwarding and routing based
on the high availability configuration:
• Dual Routing Engines without any high availability features enabled—Traffic is

interrupted while the Packet Forwarding Engine is reinitialized. All kernel and
forwarding processes are restarted. When the switchover to the new primary
Routing Engine is complete, routing convergence takes place and traffic is
resumed.
• Graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) is enabled—Graceful Routing Engine

switchover preserves interface and kernel information. Traffic is not interrupted.
However, graceful Routing Engine switchover does not preserve the control plane.
Neighboring routers detect that the router has restarted and react to the event in
a manner prescribed by individual routing protocol specifications. To preserve
routing without interruption during a switchover, graceful Routing Engine
switchover must be combined with nonstop active routing.
• Nonstop active routing is enabled (graceful Routing Engine switchover must be

configured for nonstop active routing to be enabled)—Nonstop active routing
supports Routing Engine switchover without alerting peer nodes that a change has
occurred. Nonstop active routing uses the same infrastructure as graceful Routing
Engine switchover to preserve interface and kernel information. However, nonstop
active routing also preserves routing information and protocol sessions by running
the routing protocol process (rpd) on both Routing Engines. In addition, nonstop
active routing preserves TCP connections maintained in the kernel.
• Graceful restart is configured—Graceful restart provides extensions to routing

protocols so that neighboring helper routers restore routing information to a
restarting router. These extensions signal neighboring routers about the graceful
restart and prevent the neighbors from reacting to the router restart and from
propagating the change in state to the network during the graceful restart period.
Neighbors provide the routing information that enables the restarting router to
stop and restart routing protocols without causing network reconvergence.
Neighbors are required to support graceful restart. The routing protocol process
(rpd) restarts. A graceful restart interval is required. For certain protocols, a
significant change in the network can cause graceful restart to stop.
130
NOTE: Router performance might change if the backup Routing Engine's configuration differs
from the former primary's configuration. For the most predictable performance, configure the
two Routing Engines identically, except for parameters unique to each Routing Engine.
To configure Routing Engine-specific parameters and still use the same configuration on both
Routing Engines, include the appropriate configuration statements under the re0 and re1
statements at the [edit groups] hierarchy level and use the apply-groups statement. For instructions,
see the Junos OS Administration Library for Routing Devices.

the router. For the minimum software requirements for graceful restart, see the Junos OS High

Taking an MX104 Routing Engine Offline

Before you take a Routing Engine offline, see "Replacing an MX104 Routing Engine" on page 127.
To take the Routing Engine offline:
1. Determine whether the Routing Engine is functioning as the primary or as the backup, using one of
the two following methods:
• If the MASTER LED on the Routing Engine is lit, that Routing Engine is functioning as the primary.
131
• Issue the show chassis routing-engine command.
user@host> show chassis routing-engine

Slot 0:
Current state Master
Election priority Master (default)
The primary Routing Engine is designated Master in the current state field.
2. If the Routing Engine is functioning as the primary, switch it to backup using the request chassis
routing-engine master switch command:
user@host> request chassis routing-engine master switch
3. On the console or other management device connected to the Routing Engine you are removing,
enter CLI operational mode and issue the request system halt command. The command shuts down
the Routing Engine cleanly, so its state information is preserved:
user@host> request system halt
Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system has halted.
For more information about the command, see the CLI Explorer.
NOTE: The SCB might continue forwarding traffic for approximately five minutes after the
request system halt command has been issued.

Removing an MX104 MIC

MICs are hot-insertable and hot-removable. When you remove a MIC, the router continues to function,
although the MIC interfaces being removed no longer function.
In the MX104 router, the MICs can be installed in four slots in the front of the router. A MIC weighs less
than 2 lb (0.9 kg).
To remove a MIC (see Figure 1):
1. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface to receive the MIC. If the MIC
connects to fiber-optic cable, have ready a rubber safety cap for each transceiver and cable.

3. Use one of the following methods to take the MIC offline:
• Press its online/offline button. Use a narrow-ended tool that fits inside the opening that leads to
the button. Press and hold the button until the MIC OK/FAIL LED goes off (about five seconds).
137
• Issue the following CLI command:
user@host> request chassis mic fpc-slot slot-number mic-slot slot-number offline
4. Label the cables connected to the MIC so that you can later reconnect each cable to the correct MIC.
5. Disconnect the cables from the MIC. If the MIC uses a fiber-optic cable, immediately cover each
transceiver and the end of each cable with a rubber safety cap.
CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered, except when you are
inserting or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and protects your
eyes from accidental exposure to laser light.
6. Arrange the cable to prevent it from dislodging or developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it
is not supporting its own weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly
coiled loop.
CAUTION: Avoid bending a fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc
smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that

6. Swing the cover into place so that it sits over the MIC handle on one side.
7. Tighten the captive screw on the cover.
8. If the MIC uses fiber-optic cable, remove the rubber safety cap from each transceiver and the end
of each cable.
139
LASER WARNING: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the
ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cables connected
to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered, except when you are
inserting or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and protects your
eyes from accidental exposure to laser light.
9. Insert the appropriate cables into the cable connectors on the MIC.
10. Arrange each cable to prevent the cable from dislodging or developing stress points. Secure the
cable so that it is not supporting its own weight as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of
the way in a neatly coiled loop.
CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cables hang free from the connector. Do not allow
the fastened loops of a cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening
point.
CAUTION: Avoid bending a fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An
arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems
that are difficult to diagnose.
11. Bring the MIC online by issuing the following CLI command:
user@host> request chassis mic fpc-slot slot-number mic-slot slot-number online

140
The normal functioning status LED confirms that the MIC is online. You can also verify correct MIC
functioning by issuing the show chassis fpc pic-status command described in "Maintaining the MX104
MICs and Network Ports" on page 135.

Maintaining Cables That Connect to MX104 Network Ports
IN THIS SECTION
Purpose | 143
Action | 143
Purpose
For optimum router performance, verify the condition of the cables that connect to the network ports.
Action
On a regular basis:
• Use the cable management bracket to support cables and prevent cables from dislodging or
developing stress points.
144
• Place excess cable out of the way in the cable management bracket. Do not allow fastened loops of
cable to dangle from the connector or cable management bracket, because this stresses the cable at
the fastening point. Putting fasteners on the loops helps to maintain their shape.
• Keep the cable connections clean and free of dust and other particles, which can cause drops in the
received power level. Always inspect cables, and clean them if necessary before connecting an
interface.
• Label both ends of the cables to identify them.
The following guidelines apply specifically to fiber-optic cables:
• When you unplug a fiber-optic cable, always place a rubber safety plug over the transceiver on the
faceplate and on the end of the cable.
• Anchor fiber-optic cables to avoid stress on the connectors. Be sure to secure fiber-optic cables so
that they do not support their own weight as they hang to the floor. Never let fiber-optic cable hang
free from the connector.
• Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its bend radius. An arc smaller than a few inches can damage
the cable and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
• Frequent plugging and unplugging of fiber-optic cable into and out of optical instruments can cause
damage to the instruments that is expensive to repair. Instead, attach a short fiber extension to the
optical equipment. Any wear and tear due to frequent plugging and unplugging is then absorbed by
the short fiber extension, which is easy and inexpensive to replace.
• Keep fiber-optic cable connections clean. Small microdeposits of oil and dust in the canal of the
transceiver or cable connector could cause loss of light, reducing signal power and possibly causing
intermittent problems with the optical connection.
To clean the transceivers, use an appropriate fiber-cleaning device, such as RIFOCS Fiber Optic
Adaptor Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the directions for the cleaning kit you use.
After you clean an optical transceiver, make sure that the connector tip of the fiber-optic cable is clean.
Use only an approved alcohol-free fiber-optic cable cleaning kit, such as the Opptex Cletop-S Fiber
Cleaner. Follow the directions for the cleaning kit you use.

6. Remove the screws and washers from the DC terminals.

7. Verify that the DC power cables are correctly labeled before making connections to the power
supply. In a typical power distribution scheme where the return is connected to chassis ground at
the battery plant, you can use a multimeter to verify the resistance of the DC cables to chassis
ground:
For –48V and –60V:
a. The cable with very high resistance (indicating an open circuit) to chassis ground is the DC input
cable (–).
b. The cable with very low resistance (indicating a closed circuit) to chassis ground is the return
cable (+).
For +24V:
a. The cable with very low resistance (indicating a closed circuit) to chassis ground is the DC input
cable (–).

a. Secure the positive DC source power cable lug to the return (+) terminal.
b. Secure the negative DC source power cable lug to the input (–) terminal.
CAUTION: Ensure that each power cable lug seats flush against the surface of the
terminal block as you are tightening the screws. Ensure that each screw is properly
threaded into the terminal. Applying installation torque to the screw when
improperly threaded may result in damage to the terminal.
CAUTION: The maximum torque rating of the terminal screws on the DC power
supply is 27.4 lb-in. (3.1 Nm). The terminal screws may be damaged if excessive
torque is applied. Use only a torque-controlled driver to tighten screws on the DC
power supply terminals. Use an appropriately sized driver, with a maximum torque
capacity of 27.4 lb-in. or less. Ensure that the driver is undamaged and properly
calibrated and that you have been trained in its use. You may wish to use a driver
that is designed to prevent overtorque when the preset torque level is achieved.
9. Replace the clear plastic cover over the terminals on the faceplate.
10. Connect each DC power cable to the appropriate external DC power source.
NOTE: For information about connecting to external DC power sources, see the instructions
for your site.
11. Switch on the external circuit breakers to provide voltage to the DC power source cable leads.

The Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) is the primary tool for controlling and troubleshooting router
hardware, the Junos OS, routing protocols, and network connectivity. CLI commands display information
from routing tables, information specific to routing protocols, and information about network
connectivity derived from the ping and traceroute utilities.
You enter CLI commands on one or more external management devices connected to ports on the front
panel.
For information about using the CLI to troubleshoot the Junos OS, see the appropriate Junos OS
configuration guide.
160
Front Panel LEDs
The front panel on the router contains LEDs that allow you to troubleshoot the router.
LEDs on the front panel include the following:
• System LED—One LED labeled SYS OK on the front panel indicates the status of the router.
• Alarm LEDs—One yellow and one red LED on the front panel indicate major and minor alarms.
For more information about component and front panel LEDs, see "MX104 LEDs Overview" on page 11.
Alarm Devices and Messages
When a major or minor alarm occurs, it logs the cause of the alarm. If the alarm relay contact is
connected to alarm devices, the router also trips the corresponding alarm relay contact.
To view a detailed description of the alarm cause, issue the show chassis alarms command:

Term Definition
alarm condition Failure event that triggers an alarm.
alarm severity Seriousness of the alarm. The level of severity can be either major (steady red) or minor
(blinking red).
chassis alarm Predefined alarm triggered by a physical condition on the router or one of the router
components. Alarms may be triggered by events such as a power failure, excessive component
temperature, or media failure. Chassis alarms are preset and cannot be modified.
system alarm Predefined alarm triggered by a missing rescue configuration or failure to install a license for a
licensed software feature. System alarms are preset and cannot be modified, although you can
configure them to appear automatically in the J-Web interface display or CLI display.
interface alarm Predefined alarm triggered by a problem with a specific network interface.
Alarm Severity Classes
Alarms on the MX104 routers have two severity classes:
• Major (steady red)—Indicates a critical situation on the router that has resulted from one of the
following conditions. A red alarm condition requires immediate action.
• One or more hardware components have failed.
• One or more hardware components have exceeded temperature thresholds.
• An alarm condition configured on an interface has triggered a critical warning.
• Minor (steady yellow)—Indicates a noncritical condition on the router that, if left unchecked, might
cause an interruption in service or degradation in performance. A minor alarm condition requires
monitoring or maintenance.
A missing rescue configuration generates a minor system alarm.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage to an

MX104 Router
Many router hardware components are sensitive to damage from static electricity. Some components
can be impaired by voltages as low as 30 V. You can easily generate potentially damaging static voltages
whenever you handle plastic or foam packing material or if you move components across plastic or
carpets. Observe the following guidelines to minimize the potential for electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage, which can cause intermittent or complete component failures:
• Always use an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap, and make sure that it is in direct contact with your skin.
CAUTION: For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD strap. The
measurement should be in the range of 1 to 10 Mohms.
• When handling any component that is removed from the chassis, make sure the equipment end of
your ESD strap is attached to the electrostatic discharge point on the chassis (see Figure 57 on page
183).
• Avoid contact between the component and your clothing. ESD voltages emitted from clothing can
still damage components.
183
• When removing or installing a component, always place it component side up on an antistatic

surface, in an antistatic card rack, or in an electrostatic bag (see Figure 58 on page 183). If you are
returning a component, place it in an electrostatic bag before packing it.

MX104 AC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines and

Warnings
The following electrical safety guidelines apply to an AC-powered router:
• You can order three-wire electrical cords with a grounding-type plug that fits only a grounding-type
power outlet. Do not circumvent this safety feature. Equipment grounding should comply with local
and national electrical codes.
• Each AC power supply has one AC appliance inlet. Each inlet requires a dedicated AC power feed
and a dedicated customer-site circuit breaker. For the recommended circuit breaker rating, see
"MX104 AC Power Specifications" on page 20.
WARNING: The router is pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted-access

location.
• The power cord serves as the main disconnecting device for the AC-powered device. The socket
outlet must be near the AC-powered device and be easily accessible.
• The cores in the main lead are colored in accordance with the following code:
• Green and yellow—Earth
• Blue—Neutral
• Brown—Live
• When a router is equipped with two AC power supplies, you must unplug both power cords (one for
each power supply) to completely disconnect power to the router.
WARNING: The attached power cable is only for this product. Do not use the cable for
another product.
207

MX104 DC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines
The following electrical safety guidelines apply to a DC-powered router:
• A DC-powered router is equipped with a DC terminal block that is rated for the power requirements
of a maximally configured router. To supply sufficient power, terminate the DC input wiring on a
facility DC source capable of supplying the rating specified in "MX104 DC Power Specifications" on
page 23 per input for each power supply.
Incorporate an easily accessible disconnect device into the facility wiring. In the United States and
Canada, the 48-VDC facility should be equipped with a circuit breaker rated a minimum of 125
percent of the power provisioned for the input in accordance with the National Electrical Code in the
US and the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada.
• Run two wires from the circuit breaker box to a source of 24, –60, or –48 VDC. Use appropriate
gauge wire as specified in "MX104 DC Power Cable and Lug Specifications" on page 25.
• Be sure to connect the ground wire or conduit to a solid office (earth) ground. We recommend a
closed loop ring for terminating the ground conductor at the ground stud.
• A DC-powered router that is equipped with a DC terminal block is intended only for installation in a
restricted access location. In the United States, a restricted access area is one in accordance with
Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.
NOTE: Primary overcurrent protection is provided by the building circuit breaker. This breaker
should protect against excess currents, short circuits, and earth faults in accordance with NEC
ANSI/NFPA70.
• Ensure that the polarity of the DC input wiring is correct. Under certain conditions, connections with
reversed polarity might trip the primary circuit breaker or damage the equipment.
• For personal safety, connect the green and yellow wire to safety (earth) ground at both the router
and the supply side of the DC wiring.
208
• The marked input voltage for a DC-powered router is the nominal voltage associated with the
battery circuit, and any higher voltages are only to be associated with float voltages for the charging
function.
• Because the router is a positive ground system, you must connect the positive lead to the terminal
labeled +, the negative lead to the terminal labeled –, and the earth ground to the chassis grounding
points.

Site Electrical Wiring Guidelines for MX104 Routers
IN THIS SECTION
Distance Limitations for Signaling | 212
Radio Frequency Interference | 212
Electromagnetic Compatibility | 213
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 pass between buildings.
The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) caused by lightning can damage unshielded conductors and destroy
electronic devices. If your 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.
213
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.
WARNING: The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for

connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intrabuilding
port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to
interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use
as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE,
Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary
protectors is not sufficient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP
wiring.
CAUTION: To comply with intrabuilding lightning and surge requirements, intrabuilding

wiring must be shielded, and the shield for the wiring must be grounded at both ends.
