The following secons explain how to power o and remove an MX10004 router.
Power O an MX10004 Router
Before you power o a Juniper Networks MX10004 router:
• Ensure that you have taken the necessary precauons to prevent electrostac discharge (ESD)
damage. See "Prevenon of Electrostac Discharge Damage" on page 263.
• Ensure that you don’t need to forward trac through the router.
• Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to power o the router:
• 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
on one of the Roung and Control Boards (RCBs)
To power o an MX10004 router:
1. Connect to the router using one of the following methods:
• Connect a management device to the console (CON) port on an RCB by following the instrucons
in "Connect an MX10004 Router to a Management Console" on page 140.
• Connect a management device to one of the two management (MGMT) ports on the RCB by
following the instrucons in "Connect an MX10004 Router to a Network for Out-of-Band
Management" on page 139.
2. Shut down Junos OS from the external management device by using the request vmhost power-off
operaonal mode CLI command followed by the request chassis cb slot
slot-number offline. These
commands shut down a single RCB gracefully and preserve system state informaon. When you
issued this command on a redundant system, it shuts down the partner RCB. A message appears on
the other RCB console, conrming that the operang system has halted. For example, if you want to
shut down the backup RCB, issue the command on the primary RCB. You view the output on the
backup RCB.
