TX Matrix Router Quick Start

Quick Start Description

This Quick Start contains information you need to install and configure the TX Matrix

router quickly. For complete installation instructions, see the TX Matrix Router Hardware

Guide at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/.

WARNING: This Quick Start contains a summary of safety warnings in “Safety

Warnings” on page 45. For a complete list of warnings for this router, including

translations, see the TX Matrix Router Hardware Guide at

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/.

The TX Matrix router is the centralized switch fabric of the routing matrix, which is a

terabit routing system interconnecting up to four T640 routing nodes to deliver up to

2.56 terabits per second (Tbps) of subscriber switching capacity. The routing matrix

multichassis architecture provides scalable growth for aggregation and core services for

voice, video, and data networks. It provides a flexible and cost-effective means to simplify

large point-of-presence (POP) and central office environments. The routing matrix

delivers high-availability services from tunnel services, ATM, DS3, OC3/STM1, OC12/STM4,

Gigabit Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, OC48/STM16, OC192/STM64, and other high-speed

interfaces.

The TX Matrix router is a modular, rack-mountable system. One TX Matrix router can be

installed in one standard 19-in. wide, 78-in. high, EIA telco rack. The TX Matrix router is

shipped in a wooden crate. A wooden pallet forms the base of the crate. TheTX Matrix

chassis is bolted to this pallet. The shipping crate contains:

•One accessory box (the box to which this Quick Start is taped)

•One Juniper Networks TX Matrix router

•One Quick Start (this document)

NOTE: This Quick Start explains how to integrate an offline T640 routing

node with the TX Matrix router. To integrate an operational T640 routing

node with a TX Matrix router, see the TX Matrix Router Hardware Guide at

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs.

Quick Start Description

Step 1: Prepare the Site

Figure 1: Rack Clearances and TX Matrix Router Dimensions

Rack-Mounting Requirements

The TX Matrix router can be installed in many types of racks. Follow these guidelines:

•The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the TX Matrix chassis's

external dimensions: 44.5 in. (113 cm) high, 31.4 in. (79.8 cm) deep, and 17.4 in. (44.2

cm) wide. The mounting hardware extends the width to fit into a standard 19-in. rack.

•If the horizontal spacing between the rails is wider than the center-mounting brackets

or front-mounting flanges, use approved wing devices to narrow the opening between

the rails as required.

TX Matrix Router Quick Start

•The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured TX Matrix

router, up to about 495 lb (225 kg).

•We recommend you install one TX Matrix router in its own dedicated rack. If you must

install another device in the rack, consider the height and weight of the TX Matrix router

and the fiber-optic array cable management above the chassis, including the optional

cable shelf assembly.

•For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be

adequate space at the front and back of the TX Matrix router. Allow at least 24 in. (61.0

cm) both in front of and behind the TX Matrix router. NEBS GR-63 recommends at

least 30 in. in front of the TX Matrix router.

•The rack or cabinet must have an adequate supply of cooling air.

•In a closed cabinet, there must be a minimum of 6 in. (15.2 cm) of unobstructed airflow

behind the TX Matrix router, or airflow baffles must be installed to prevent recirculation

of hot air and overheating.

Tools Required

•A mechanical lift (strongly recommended)

•7/16-in. hexagonal-head external drive socket wrench

•1/2-in.or 13 mm open-end or socket wrench for removing chassis from pallet

•2.5 mm ball hex driver for the fiber-optic array loopback connector and loopback

adapter

•Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2

•Small slotted screwdriver, at least 4 in. long (for fiber-optic array connectors) and 2.5

mm for alarm relay contacts

•Electrostatic discharge wrist strap

•Antistatic mat

•Wire cutters

•Pliers

•One fiber-optic array loopback connector for testing TX-SIBs and T640-SIBs
