T1600 Routing Node Upgrade Guide

NOTE: These components must be installed before you can install a T1600-FPC in the T1600 routing node.

Power Supplies

Two redundant, load-sharing DC power supplies are located at the lower rear of the chassis in slots PEM0 and PEM1 (top to bottom). For power specifications for the system, power supplies, and power cables, see “T1600 Routing Node DC Power Specifications” on page 44.

Three-Input 240-A Power Supplies

Each three-input 240-A power supply weighs approximately 25 lb. (11.3 kg) and consists of three inputs, three 80-A circuit breakers, a fan, and LEDs to monitor the status of the power supply. Figure 3 on page 6 shows the three-input 240-A power supply.

Three-Input 240-A Power Supply Inputs

The three-input 240-A DC power supply inputs are labeled INPUT 0, INPUT 1, and INPUT 2, from top to bottom. Each input consists of –48 VDC and return—each with its own 80-A circuit breaker. The input mode switch on the faceplate allows you to set the DC power supply to either two-input or three-input mode mode. Three-input mode is required for the T1600 routing node. Two-input mode is not currently supported.

Table 1 on page 7 describes which components are powered by each input.

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.
