Powering Off the MX960 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 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, then issue the request system halt command.
    Note:

    If the external management device is connected to a router with a RE-S-X6-64G, a RE-S-X6-64G-LT, or a RE-S-X6-128G Routing Engine, issue the request vmhost power-off other-routing-engine and request vmhost power-off operational mode command. The command shuts down the Routing Engines cleanly, so their state information is preserved.

  2. Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system has halted. For more information about the command, see the CLI Explorer.
  3. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to an ESD grounding point.
  4. Move the AC input switch on the chassis above the AC power supply or the DC circuit breaker on each DC power supply faceplate to the off  (0) position.
