Remove a PIC from an M40e-FPC

Replace a PIC in an M40e-FPC

To remove a PIC from an M40e-FPC, follow this procedure:

1.Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface to receive the PIC.

2.Attach an ESD strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.

3.With the M40e-FPC lying component-side down and with the PIC faceplates facing you, use a screwdriver to loosen the two screws that secure the PIC to the FPC.

4.Carefully turn over the M40e-FPC and lay it on the mat component-side up with the PIC faceplates facing you.

5.Arrows on the M40e-FPC indicate the position of metal bars that are attached to the PIC circuit board near the front end. To remove the PIC from the slot, place a finger behind each bar and pull the PIC toward you gently but firmly.

Do not grasp the PIC anywhere other than at the metal bars described in the instruction. Do not touch or apply force to the PIC’s heat sinks, circuit boards (even at the edges), or other electronic components.

You might need to rock the PIC back and forth to loosen it from the connector in the M40e-FPC slot. To avoid bending the pins on the connector, use the smallest and gentlest motion possible.

6.Place the PIC in the electrostatic bag or on the antistatic mat prepared in Step 1.

Install a PIC in an M40e-FPC

To install a PIC in an M40e-FPC, follow this procedure:

1.Attach an ESD wrist strap to your bare wrist, and connect the wrist strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.

2.Place the M40e-FPC on an antistatic foam mat, component-side up and with its faceplate facing you. If a foam mat is not available, substitute a standard flat antistatic mat but use extra care when laying the M40e-FPC on it to avoid damaging the electrical components.
