Tools and Parts Required
To replace DC or AC power supplies, you need the following tools and parts:
Phillips (+) screwdrivers, numbers 1 and 2
ESD grounding wrist strap
7/16-in. nut driver or wrench for tightening nuts to grounding and terminal studs on a
DC power supply; if 7/16-in. tool is not available, use pliers or an adjustable wrench
rather than a metric nut driver or wrench
Maintain the Power Supplies
To maintain the power supplies, follow these guidelines:
Make sure that the power and ground cables on each DC power supply are arranged so
that they do not obstruct access to the other power supply or to the Routing Engine.
Routinely check the LEDs on the power supply faceplate. The green OK LED indicates
that the power supply is functioning normally; the red FAIL LED indicates a power supply
fault. For more information about the power supply LEDs, refer to “Power Supply LEDs”
on page 22.

For further description of the output from the command, see the JUNOS Internet
Software Oper ational Mode Command R eference: Pr otocols, Class of Service , Chassis,
and Management .
Check the red and yellow alarm LEDs and the LCD on the craft interface. Power supply
failure or removal triggers an alarm that causes one or both of the LEDs to light and an
error message to appear on the LCD. You can display the error messages remotely by
issuing the following CLI command:
user@host> show chassis alarms
For a list of possible alarm messages, see “Hardware and Interface Alarm Messages” on
page 235.
Verify that the airflow to each supply is unobstructed.
Verify that the power source has the proper current rating and that each power supply is
connected to a separate power source.
Verify that the cable or cord connecting the power supply to the external power source is
securely in place and that there is no moisture accumulating near the router.
Verify that the cable or cord from the power source to the router is not damaged. If the
insulation is cracked or broken, replace the cable or cord immediately.
Verify that the power cables or cord do not touch or obstruct access to other router
components, and that they do not drape where people could trip on them.
Replace an AC Power Supply
An AC-powered router has two load-sharing, redundant AC power supplies. Each power
supply is hot-removable and hot-insertable, as described in “Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs)”
on page 4. When one power supply fails or is powered down, the other power supply
automatically assumes the entire electrical load for the router.
To replace an AC power supply, perform the following procedures:
