Both normal-capacity and high-capacity MX960 chassis with DC power supplies; MX960 chassis with
high-capacity AC power supplies; MX960 high-capacity second-generation AC power supplies; and MX960
high-voltage second-generation universal power supplies are zoned. MX960 chassis with normal-capacity
AC power supplies have one overall zone. Zoning means that certain components are powered by specific
power supplies (see Table 64 on page 135 for information on zoning). When calculating power requirements,
be sure that there is adequate power for each zone.
Three AC power supplies are mandatory for MX960 chassis with normal-capacity AC power supplies.

The following sample configuration shows an MX960 chassis with:
•
Four high-capacity AC power supplies (using two feeds for each power supply); two supplies are active,
two are redundant
•
Six 16 port 10 GbE MPC with SFP+ interfaces (slots 0 through 5)
•
Two SCBs with two (redundant) RE-1800x2 routing engines (SCB slot 0 and SCB slot 1)
•
SCB (SCB slot 6)
•
Five 16 port 10 GbE MPC with SFP+ interfaces (slots 7 through 11)
•
High-capacity cooling system (upper and lower fan trays)
NOTE: The high-capacity cooling system satisfies cooling requirements of MPCs, and must
be used for proper cooling.
