Disconnecting the Power Cord from a AC-Powered M10i Router
To disconnect the power cord from an AC-powered router:
- On the console or other management device connected
to the master Routing Engine, enter CLI operational mode and issue
the following command to shut down the router software. (If two Routing
Engines are installed, also issue the command on the backup Routing
Engine.)
user@host> request system halt
Note: Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system has halted.
For more information about the command, see the JUNOS System Basics and Services Command Reference.
- Remove the plug from the AC power source receptacle.
- For each power supply, remove the appliance coupler end of a power cord from the appliance inlet on a power supply faceplate. Verify that the power cord does not block access to router components or drape where people could trip on it.
