Powering Off the MX480 Router

NOTE:

After powering off a power supply, wait at least 60 seconds before

turning it back on.

To power off the router:

1.

On the external management device connected to the Routing Engine, issue the

request system halt both-routing-engines

operational mode command. The command

shuts down the Routing Engines cleanly, so their state information is preserved. (If
the router contains only one Routing Engine, issue the

request system halt

command.)

user@host>

request system halt both-routing-engines

2.

Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system
has halted. For more information about the command, see the Junos OS Operational
Mode Commands.

3.

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

4.

Move the AC input switch on each AC power supply or the DC circuit breaker on each
DC power supply to the off (

O

) position.
