Connecting AC Power to an MX10000
After you ground the chassis, connect the power supplies, and supply power to the chassis, the system
initiates the power-on sequence. This sequence can start incrementally with a single power supply, but it
is not recommended that you bring up an MX10000 system with at less than three power supplies.
Before you begin to connect power to the router, be sure you understand how to prevent ESD damage.
See “Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage” on page 343.
To connect AC power to an MX10000 chassis:
1. Connect the chassis to earth ground (see “Connecting an MX10000 to Earth Ground” on page 160).
CAUTION: To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and
to ensure proper operation, an MX10000 must be adequately grounded before it is
connected to power.
For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, use the
protective earthing terminal on the rear panel of the MX10000 to connect to the
earth ground.
An MX10000 gets additional grounding when you plug the power supply in the router
into a grounded AC power outlet by using the AC power cord appropriate for your
geographical location. See “MX10000 Power Cables Specifications” on page 107.
2. Install power supplies in the router and apply power. See “How to Install a JNP10K-PWR-AC Power
Supply” on page 196 or “How to Install a JNP10K-PWR-AC2 Power Supply” on page 208.
