Calculating Power Requirements for an MX10016
Use the information in this topic to calculate the power requirements of your MX10016 configuration and the number of power supplies required for different MX10016 router configurations.
The calculations in this topic represent the maximum power requirements that you need to budget for your MX10016 router configuration. The actual power consumption of your router can be less than the calculated results shown here and will vary based on the hardware and software configuration of your router, the amount of traffic passing through the line cards, and environmental variables such as room temperature.
Before you begin these calculations:
Ensure that you understand different router configurations. See MX10016 Components and Configurations.
Ensure that you know the power requirements of different router components. See Power Requirements for MX10016 Components.

- How to Calculate the Number of Power Supplies Required for Your MX10016 Configuration
How to Calculate the Power Consumption of Your MX10016 Configuration
Use the following procedure to determine the maximum power you need to supply to the router. To calculate the maximum power consumption, you first determine the combined maximum internal power requirements of all the router components and then divide this result by the output power of the power supply.
To calculate the maximum power consumption:
How to Calculate the Number of Power Supplies Required for Your MX10016 Configuration
Use this procedure to calculate the number of power supplies required by your router configuration. The minimum power configuration for MX10016 routers is three power supplies.. However, using the calculated minimum power configuration does not prevent the system from raising a power alarm. To ensure you do not log power alarms, you must configure your router for n+1 power supplies.
To calculate the number of power supplies required for your minimum router configuration:

MX10016 Power Cord Specifications
Each AC power supply has two independent 16 A rated AC inlets on the faceplate. Most sites distribute power through a main conduit that leads to frame-mounted power distribution panels, one of which can be located at the top of the rack that houses the router. An AC power cord connects each power supply to the power distribution panel.
Each detachable AC power cord is 8 feet (approximately 2.5 meters) long. The coupler end of the appliance cord inserts into the AC appliance inlet on the faceplate of the AC power supply. The coupler type is C19 as described by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60320. The plug end of the power cord fits into the power source outlet that is standard for your geographical location.
In North America, AC power cords must not exceed 15 feet (approximately 4.5 meters) in length, to comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) Sections 400-8 (NFPA 75, 5-2.2) and 210-52 and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 4-010(3). The cords shipped with the router to North America and Canada are in compliance.
MX10000 AC, high voltage alternating current (HVAC), and high voltage direct current (HVDC) have specific cord requirements. Use the following sections to determine the cable requirements based on the model of your power supply and any mode settings:

JNP10K-PWR-AC2 Power Cable Specifications for 30-A Input
The JNP10K-PWR-AC2 HVAC or HVDC power supplies requires a high current cable assembly when set for 30-A input. One end of the cable has an Anderson APP-400 connector, the other end of the cable is bare wire. See Figure 1 and Table 11. These cables are separately orderable and are not shipped automatically with JNP10K-PWR-AC2 orders. An example of the right-angle cable and connector is shown in Figure 3.
For connection to AC systems, Juniper provides a cable with either a NEMA 30-A connector (Figure 1) or an IEC 330P6W connector (Figure 2).

MX10016 Grounding Cable and Lug Specifications
You must install the router in a restricted-access location and ensure it is adequately grounded at all times. Proper grounding ensures your router is operating correctly and that it meets safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements. The MX10016 modular chassis has a 2-hole protective grounding terminal on the rear of the chassis beneath the power supplies for grounding.
For AC powered systems, you must also use the grounding wire in the AC power cord along with the 2-hole lug ground connection. This tested system meets or exceeds all applicable EMC regulatory requirements with the 2-hole protective grounding terminal.
To comply with GR-1089 requirements, all intra-building copper cabling used for SFP+, QSFP+, and QSFP28 ports must be shielded and grounded at both ends.
Before you start installing the router, endure that a licensed electrician attaches a cable lug to the grounding cables. See Connect an MX10016 to Earth Ground. A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the router.
Before connecting the router to earth ground, review the following information:
Two threaded inserts (PEM nuts) are provided on the lower rear of the chassis for connecting the router to earth ground. The grounding points are spaced at 0.63 in. (16 mm).
The grounding lug required is a Panduit LCD6-10A-L or equivalent (provided). The grounding lug accommodates 6 AWG (13.3 mm²) stranded wire. If one or more JNP10K-PWR-DC2 power supplies are installed in the chassis and set for high input (80-A), use the Panduit LCD4-14A-L or equivalent (provided). This lug accommodates 4 AWG (21.1mm²) stranded wire.
The grounding cable that you provide for an MX10016 must be the same size or heavier than the input wire of each power supply. Minimum recommendations are 6 AWG (13.3 mm²) stranded copper wire, Class B; 90° C wire, or as permitted by local code.
