Thanks Jeff, perhaps AC Highcap ship with different default dip setting than do the DC Highcap... I can tell you this.... all 6 of my MX960's with DC highcap pem's came with dip set to 0 (1700w)...
Ok so today I did this in my lab-960... Had someone flip the dip to 1 (4100w) on all 4 PEM's, works nice, I didn't drop any pings to linecards in both zones...didn't see any issues on ssh or console... then I had him slot my MPC7E-MRATE, guess what, stayed in Present mode (show chassis fpc). I learned that I must online a newly installed module in order for it to come online. request chassis fpc slot 1 online so thinking back to last year when I originally turned up these 960's....reason I didn't have to online the MPC7E's in slot 0 and 11 is because when the 960 originally shipped to me with those MPC7E's in it and I powered the 960 on with the MPC7E's in it.... and I understand that when an entire system boots up, it boots up all the modules too (no user intervention needed per module)... someone can correct me if I misspeak... (I will caveat that with this, truly, when my 960 shipped and I booted it, the MPC7E's actually didn't power at all (show chassis fpc...shows " ---FPC misconfiguration---" ... I had to first take the system out of its default setting (show chassis network-services.... IP) with (set chassis network-services enhanced-ip) then reboot (request system reboot both-routing-engines) then after reboot I saw the MPC7E's booting -Aaron _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
