Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Many T1600 routing node hardware components are sensitive to damage from static electricity. Some components can be impaired by voltages as low as 30 V. You can easily generate potentially damaging static voltages whenever you handle plastic or foam packing material or if you move components across plastic or carpets. Observe the following guidelines to minimize the potential for electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can cause intermittent or complete component failures:

■Always use an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap, and verify that it is in direct contact with your skin.

CAUTION: For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD strap. The measurement should be in the range of 1 to 10 Mohms.

■When handling any component that is removed from the chassis, verify that the equipment end of your ESD strap is attached to one of the ESD points on the chassis, which are shown in Figure 1 on page 4 and Figure 2 on page 5.

■Avoid contact between the component and your clothing. ESD voltages emitted from clothing can still damage components.

■When removing or installing a component, always place it component-side up on an antistatic surface, in an antistatic card rack, or in an electrostatic bag (see Figure 26 on page 47). If you are returning a component, place it in an electrostatic bag before packing it.

T1600 specifications

Juniper Networks T1600 is a robust, high-performance router designed for service provider and large enterprise networks. As part of Juniper's T series of routers, the T1600 is engineered to facilitate efficient and scalable network operations, making it ideal for environments requiring intensive data traffic management.

One of the T1600's standout features is its capacity to deliver a high level of performance while maintaining reliability. The router supports multiple interfaces, including Ethernet, MPLS, and IPv4/IPv6, allowing for flexible connectivity options tailored to a variety of deployment scenarios. With a forwarding capacity of up to 3.2 terabits per second, the T1600 ensures that network demands are met with ease, even during peak usage.

The T1600 is equipped with advanced technologies that enhance its operational capabilities. Its architecture is built on Juniper's proprietary Junos operating system, which provides a stable and secure platform for managing the various networking protocols. The software enables seamless integration of security, routing, and switching functionalities, reducing the complexity of network management.

Additionally, the router features IPv6 readiness, preparing networks for the next generation of internet traffic. This future-proofing addresses the inevitable exhaustion of IPv4 addresses and caters to the increasing demand for internet-connected devices globally.

Redundancy and fault tolerance are intrinsic to the T1600's design, ensuring continuous operation and minimal downtime. Its modular architecture allows for easy upgrades and replacement of components, facilitating maintenance without significantly impacting network performance.

The T1600 also supports advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, enabling network administrators to prioritize traffic according to business needs. This capability is crucial for applications that require consistent performance, such as VoIP and video conferencing, where latency and jitter can severely impact user experience.

Scalability is another critical characteristic of the T1600. As network demands grow, organizations can add capacity incrementally, ensuring that infrastructure investments align with evolving requirements.

In summary, Juniper Networks T1600 is a high-capacity, reliable router featuring advanced routing capabilities, robust security, and exceptional redundancy. Its integration of cutting-edge technologies positions it as a powerful solution for enterprises and service providers striving to enhance their networking infrastructure for the future.
