Powering Off the MX240 Router
NOTE: After powering off a power supply, wait at least 60 seconds before
turning it back on.
To power off the router:
1. On the external management device connected to the Routing Engine, issue the
requestsystem haltboth-routing-engines operational mode command. Thecommand
shuts down the Routing Engines cleanly, so their state information is preserved. (If
the router contains only one Routing Engine, issue the request system halt command.)
user@host> request system halt both-routing-engines
2. Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system
has halted. For more information about the command, see the CLI Explorer.
3. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
4. Move the AC input switch on the chassis above the AC power supply or the DC circuit
breaker on each DC power supply faceplate to the off (O) position.
