Powering Off the Services Gateway

If you need to power off the services gateway:

1. On the external management device connected to the Routing Engine, issue the request system halt operational mode command. The command shuts down the Routing Engine cleanly, so its state information is preserved.
   user@host> request system halt

   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.

2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. For more information about ESD, see Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
3. On an AC-powered device, switch the AC switch on each power supply to the off position (O). On a DC-powered device, switch the circuit breaker on each power supply to the off position (OFF).
