Before installing the chassis, ensure the installation site meets the following requirements:
- Condicions ambientals: Manteniu una temperatura ambient entre 0 °C i 40 °C (32 °F i 104 °F) i una humitat relativa entre el 5 % i el 90 % (sense condensació).
- Espai del bastidor: Allocate sufficient rack units (U) for the chassis (typically 1U or 2U, refer to specific rack-mount kit documentation). Ensure adequate space for front and rear access for cabling and maintenance.
- Potència: Verify that the power outlets are easily accessible and provide the correct voltage and current for the chassis.
4.2 Muntatge en bastidor
Follow these steps to mount the MX80 Router Chassis into a standard 19-inch equipment rack:
- Attach the rack-mount brackets to the sides of the chassis using the provided screws. Ensure the brackets are oriented correctly for front or center mounting.
- With assistance, carefully lift the chassis and align the rack-mount brackets with the vertical rails of the equipment rack.
- Secure the chassis to the rack using the appropriate rack screws. Ensure all screws are tightened to prevent movement.
4.3 Connexió d'alimentació
Connect the power to the chassis after it has been securely mounted.
- Connect the grounding cable from the chassis grounding point to a suitable earth ground.
- Insert the power cord(s) into the power supply module(s) at the rear of the chassis.
- Plug the other end of the power cord(s) into the grounded AC power outlet(s).
- Verify that the power supply status LEDs illuminate, indicating proper power input.
5. Funcionament
5.1 Encès inicial
Once power is connected, the chassis will begin its boot sequence. Observe the system status LEDs for indications of successful startup. The boot process may take several minutes.
5.2 Accés a la configuració bàsica
To perform initial configuration, connect a console cable from your management workstation to the console port on the MX80 chassis. Use a terminal emulation program (e.g., PuTTY, Tera Term) with the following settings:
- Taxa de transmissió: 9600
- Bits de dades: 8
- Paritat: cap
- Bits de parada: 1
- Control de flux: cap
Refer to the Juniper Networks Junos OS documentation for detailed configuration procedures.
6. Manteniment
6.1 Manteniment general
Regular maintenance helps ensure reliable operation:
- Neteja: Periodically clean the exterior of the chassis with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the chassis.
- Flux d'aire: Verify that the rack environment maintains proper airflow to prevent overheating. Check fan operation regularly.
6.2 Substitució de components
For replacing modular components such as power supplies or line cards, always consult the specific component's installation guide and follow ESD precautions. Power down the chassis or the specific module before removal or insertion, as appropriate.
7. Solució De Problemes
This section provides basic troubleshooting steps for common issues. For more complex problems, refer to the Juniper Networks support documentation or contact technical support.
7.1 Problemes comuns
