EX4600 Power System

AC Power Supply in an EX4600 Switch

Except for the EX4600-40F-S switch, the EX4600 is shipped from the factory with two power supplies pre-installed. Each power supply is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU) when the second power supply is installed and running. You can install replacement power supplies in the two slots next to the fan modules without powering off the switch or disrupting the switching function.

The AC power supply is 650 W. It is the same power supply used in Juniper Networks QFX5100 switches.

CAUTION:

Do not mix power supplies with different airflow or different wattage. The system raises an alarm when a power supply having a different airflow or wattage is inserted into the chassis.

See Figure 1 for an example of the power supply.

The power supply provides FRU-to-port or port-to-FRU airflow depending on the product SKU you purchase. On legacy switches, or switches with an LCD, this airflow is called back-to-front and front-to-back. The power supplies either have labels on the handles that indicate the direction of airflow or they have color-coded handles with a fan icon. See Figure 2 for an example of the power supply. Either a power supply has the label AFI or a blue handle, which denotes FRU-to-port airflow. A power supply with the label AFO or a orange-colored handle denotes port-to-FRU airflow.

CAUTION:

Verify that the airflow direction on the power supply handle matches the direction of airflow in the chassis. Ensure that each power supply you install in the chassis has the same airflow direction. If you install power supplies with two different airflow directions, Junos OS raises an alarm, and the fault ALM LED blinks amber. If you need to convert the airflow pattern on a chassis, you must change out all the fans and power supplies at one time to use the new direction.

Table 1 shows the different power supplies and their direction of airflow.

AC Power Cord Specifications for an EX4600 Switch

Detachable AC power cords are shipped with the chassis, if you include them as part of your order. The coupler is type C13 as described by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60320. The plug end of the power cord fits into the power source outlet that is standard for your geographical location.

Note:

In North America, AC power cords must not exceed 4.5 meters (approximately 14.75 feet) in length, to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) Sections 400-8 (NFPA 75, 5-2.2) and 210-52 and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 4-010(3). The cords that can be ordered for the EX4600 switch are in compliance.

DC Power Supply in an EX4600 Switch

Except for the EX4600-40F-S switch, the EX4600 is shipped from the factory with two power supplies pre-installed. Each power supply is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU) when the second power supply is installed and running. You can install replacement power supplies in the two slots next to the fan modules without powering off the switch or disrupting the switching function.

The DC power supply is 650 W with dual feeds for power resiliency. It is same power supply that is used in the Juniper Networks QFX5100 line of switches (see Figure 4).

Grounding Cable and Lug Specifications for an EX4600 Switch

For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, the switch must be adequately grounded before power is connected to ensure proper operation and to meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements. To ground an EX4600 switch, connect a grounding cable to earth ground and then attach it to the chassis grounding points.

Warning:

The switch is pluggable type A equipment installed in a restricted-access location. It has a separate protective earthing terminal 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 ground for installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis.

CAUTION:

Before switch installation begins, a licensed electrician must attach a cable lug to the grounding cables that you supply. See Connecting Earth Ground to an EX4600 Switch. A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the switch.

Before connecting the switch to earth ground, review the following information:

  • A protective earthing terminal bracket is provided in the accessory kit for connecting the switch to earth ground. This L-shaped bracket attaches to the side of the EX4600 chassis through the mounting bracket, providing a protective earthing terminal for the switch.

  • The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCD10-10A-L or equivalent (not provided).. The grounding lug should accommodates 14–10 AWG (2–5.3 mm²) stranded wire.

  • The grounding cable that you provide for a EX4600 must be 14 AWG (2 mm²), minimum 60° C wire, or as permitted by the local code.

  • Ensure you have two SAE 10-32 washers and screws to attach the cable and bracket (not provided).
