Replacing the Management Ethernet Cable on an MX Series Router
One Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors is provided with the router. To replace the
cable connected to the ETHERNET port:
1. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
2. Press the tab on the connector, and pull the connector straight out of the port.
Figure 116 on page 292 shows the connector.
3. Disconnect the cable from the network device.
4. Plug one end of the replacement cable into the ETHERNET port. Figure 117 on page 292
shows the port.
5. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device.

Replacing the Console or Auxiliary Cable on an MX480 Router
To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the
CONSOLE port on the Routing Engine. To use a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device,
connect it to the AUX port on the Routing Engine. Both ports accept a cable with an RJ-45
connector. One RJ-45/DB-9 cable is provided with the router. If you want to connect a
device to both ports, you must supply another cable.
