Juniper EX4600

• Ensure that you have taken the necessary precauons to prevent electrostac discharge (ESD)
damage. See Prevenon of Electrostac Discharge Damage .
• Ensure that you do not need to forward trac through the switch.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to power o the switch:
• An ESD grounding strap
• An external management device such as a PC
• An RJ-45 to DB-9 rollover cable to connect the external management device to the console port
To power o an EX4600 switch:
1. Connect to the switch using one of the following methods:
• Connect a management device to the console (CON) port on a EX4600 switch. For instrucons
about connecng a management device to the console (CON) port, see Connect a Device to a
Management Console Using an RJ-45 Connector .
• You can shut down the EX4600 switch from a management device on your out-of-band
management network. For instrucons about connecng a management device to the
management (CO or C1) port, see Connecng an EX4600 Switch to a Network for Out-of-Band
Management.
2. Shut down Junos OS from the external management device by issuing the request system halt
operaonal mode CLI command. This command shuts down the switch gracefully and preserves
system state informaon. A message appears on the console, conrming that the operang system
has halted.
You see the following output (or something similar, depending on the hardware being shut down)
aer entering the command:
