Converting an MX2000 Router Between AC and DC Power
WARNING: Before performing power procedures, ensure that power is removed from
the AC or DC circuit. To ensure that all power is off, locate the circuit breaker on the
panel board that services the AC or DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the off
position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the off position.
NOTE: A system cannot operate with a mix of AC and DC power supplies.
To convert an MX2000 router between AC and DC power, you must completely power off the system,
remove the power distribution modules (PDMs), remove the power supplies, and then adjust the AC/DC
setting as described here.
1. Power off the router. See “Powering Off the AC-Powered MX2000 Router” on page 659 or “Powering
Off the DC-Powered MX2000 Router” on page 660.
2. Switch off the dedicated customer-site circuit breakers to the PDMs being removed. Make sure that
the voltage across the power source cord is 0 V and that there is no chance that the cord might become
active during the removal process.
3. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to
one of the ESD points on the chassis.
4. Remove the PDMs. Depending on your configuration, see:

5. Remove the Power Supply Modules (PSMs). See “Removing an MX2000 AC Power Supply Module”
on page 412 or “Removing an MX2000 Router DC Power Supply Module (-48 V)” on page 402.
6. Remove the adjustment bar locking screws shown in Figure 208 on page 434 using a Phillips screw
driver. There are eight screws per PSM.
