Common questions
Which direction does air travel through the chassis?
Air enters at the port side and leaves at the power-supply side, which is front-to-back cooling. A fully loaded unit draws up to 1990 W on DC.
Is a tier license required for basic use?
No. You can run the standard software without one on the 2x SFP+, 128x QSFP28 ports, and add Advanced 1, Advanced 2 and Premium 1 later from Support & Licensing above. Juniper Care is offered too.
What port speed is this configuration built for?
This model provides 128 100GbE QSFP28 ports, plus 2 SFP+ ports.
