PTX5000 Chassis

PTX5000 Chassis Description

The PTX5000 chassis is a rigid sheet metal structure that houses all the other hardware components (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). The chassis measures 62.5 in. (158.8 cm) high, 33.1 in. (84.1 cm) deep, and 17.5 in. (44.5 cm) wide. The chassis can be installed into many types of racks or cabinets.

The chassis includes the following features (see Figure 1 and Figure 2):

  • Front-mounting flanges for mounting in a four-post rack or cabinet.

  • Center-mounting metal brackets for center-mounting in an open-frame rack.

  • Handles on each side to facilitate positioning the PTX5000 in the rack. Do not use the handles to lift the PTX5000.

  • Two electrostatic discharge (ESD) points (banana plug receptacles), one front and one rear (see Figure 3).

    CAUTION:

    Before removing or installing components, attach an ESD strap to an ESD point, and place the other end of the strap around your bare wrist. Failure to use an ESD strap could result in damage to the hardware components.

    Warning:

    The PTX5000 must be connected to earth ground during normal operation.

PTX5000 Midplane Description

The midplane is located in the center of the chassis and forms the rear of the Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) card cage. The FPCs install into the midplane from the front of the chassis; and the Switch Interface Boards (SIBs), Routing Engines, Control Boards, Centralized Clock Generators (CCGs), and power distribution units (PDUs) install into the midplane from the rear of the chassis. The cooling system components also connect to the midplane.

The midplane performs the following major functions:

  • Data path—Data packets are transferred across the midplane from the Packet Forwarding Engine on the originating FPC to the SIBs, and from the SIBs across the midplane to the Packet Forwarding Engine on the destination FPC.

  • Power distribution—The power distribution units are connected to the midplane, which distributes power to all the PTX5000 components.

  • Signal path—The midplane provides the signal path to the FPCs, SIBs, Routing Engines, Control Boards, and other system components for monitoring and control of the system.

Note:

The PTX5000 supports two midplanes. First supported in Junos 14.1, the PTX5000BASE2 model is a chassis with an enhanced midplane that requires high-capacity PDUs and PSMs. The enhanced midplane is identified as Midplane-8SeP in the output from the show chassis hardware operational-mode CLI command.

If you are installing FPC3-PTX-U3, it must be installed in the PTX5000BASE2 model.

PTX5000 Cable Management System

The front cable management system for the PTX5000 consists of channels above the FPCs. The cable management system organizes, supports, and provides strain relief for the PIC cables. The PIC cables are routed toward the top into the cable management system, keeping the cables organized and securely in place. All the cables from one FPC are routed to one channel. The cables are routed from the cable management system to the left side of the PTX5000. The front cable management system adds 3.8 in. (9.7 cm) to the depth of the chassis.

You can install a rear cable management system with the High Capacity DC power supply. The rear cable management system adds 5.5 in. (14 cm) to the depth of the chassis. See Installing the PTX5000 Cable Management System for a High Capacity DC PDU for details.

Note:

We recommend that you use the cable management system to maintain the cable bend radius.

PTX5000 Craft Interface Description

The craft interface allows you to view status and troubleshooting information at a glance and to perform many system control functions. It is hot-insertable and hot-removable. The craft interface is located at the upper front of the PTX5000.

  • Two configuration switches:

    • The M/S configuration switch must be set to S.

    • The CHASSIS ID configuration switch must always be set to 0.

      Note:

      The CHASSIS ID configuration switch is set to 0 by default.

Craft Interface LCD

A four-line LCD is located in the craft interface, along with six navigation buttons. The LCD operates in two modes:

  • LCD idle mode

  • LCD alarm mode

Idle Mode

During normal operation, the LCD operates in idle mode and reports current status information, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5: LCD in Idle ModeLCD in Idle Mode

The lines in the display report the following information:

  • First line—Router name.

  • Second line—Length of time the PTX5000 has been running, reported in the following form:

  • Third and fourth lines—Status messages, which rotate at 2-second intervals. Some conditions, such as removal or insertion of a system component, can interrupt the messages.

To add a message that alternates every 2 seconds with the default status messages, use the set chassis display message command.

Alarm Mode

When a red or yellow alarm occurs, the LCD switches to alarm mode and reports the alarm condition, as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6: LCD in Alarm ModeLCD in Alarm Mode

The lines in the display report the following information:

  • First line—Router name.

  • Second line—Number of active alarms.

  • Third and fourth lines—Individual alarm messages, with the most severe condition shown first. The prefix on each line indicates whether the alarm is a red (R) or yellow (Y) alarm.

LCD Navigation Buttons

The LCD display has the following navigation buttons:

  • Menu button

  • Enter button

  • Four arrow buttons for scrolling up or down, and left or right

Craft Interface Alarm LEDs

Two large alarm LEDs are located on the craft interface. Both LEDs can be lit simultaneously.

  • The circular red LED lights to indicate a critical condition that can result in a system shutdown.

  • The triangular yellow LED lights to indicate a less severe condition that requires monitoring or maintenance.

The LCD display on the craft interface reports the cause of the alarm. A condition that causes an alarm LED to light also activates the corresponding alarm relay contact on the craft interface.

Table 1 describes the alarm LEDs.

PTX5000 Centralized Clock Generator Description

CCG Slots

The Centralized Clock Generators (CCGs) are installed into the upper rear of the chassis in the slots labeled CCG0 and CCG1. One CCG is shipped as part of the standard PTX5000 configuration, but up to two CCGs can be installed to provide redundancy.

A nonredundant CCG is hot-pluggable. For redundant CCGs, the primary CCG is hot-pluggable. The backup CCG is hot-removable and hot-insertable if the primary CCG is functioning. Removing the backup CCG does not affect the functioning of the PTX5000. Taking the primary CCG offline might result in a brief loss of the clock lock while the backup CCG becomes the primary.

CCG Function

CCGs provide a 19.44-MHz Stratum 3E clock signal for the Ethernet network interfaces on the PTX5000.

CCG Components

Each CCG (see Figure 8) consists of the following components:

  • 19.44-MHz Stratum 3E clock.

  • Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) that performs multiplexing of clock sources.
