Installing Junos OS Using a USB Storage Device on ACX Series Routers

To install the Junos OS image on ACX Series routers using a USB storage device, you must have access to the USB port physically and you must also have console access. Perform the following steps to install the Junos OS image:

  1. Insert the USB storage device that has a valid installation image into the USB port.
  2. Reboot the router by either pressing the power button on the chassis or switching off and turning on the power button behind the Routing Engine, or by entering the request system reboot command from the CLI. The system LED starts blinking in green.

    On the console, a message is displayed stating that your flash memory device (NAND Flash device) will be formatted and you will lose all the data. You are prompted to confirm the formatting of the flash memory device.

  3. Press y to confirm and proceed with the formatting process. The flash memory device is formatted and the image is installed on both the partitions.

    After the installation is completed, a message is displayed on the console prompting you to eject the USB storage device and to press Enter to reboot the device.

  4. After you remove the USB port and press Enter, the reboot begins. After the router is rebooted, the new Junos OS version is loaded and functional. The LED glows steadily in green.

Note: If an installation error occurs, the LEDs turn red. You must have console access to the router to troubleshoot an installation error.
