Installing SICs and MIMs

Before you install a SIC or MIM, assemble the following equipment:

■Flat-blade screwdriver

■Anti-static wrist strap

The Router 5000 Family routers do not support hot swappable SICs and MIMs. To avoid injury from electric shock or damage to a router, put on an anti-static wrist strap, make sure that power to the router has been turned off and that the power cord has been unplugged before performing any of the following operations.

Before you can install a SIC or MIM, you must remove the filler panel from the slot. Remove the captive screws of the blank filler panel by unscrewing them in a counter-clockwise direction with the flat-blade screwdriver, as shown below.

Do not remove the blank filler panel with black film above SLOT0.

To install a SIC or MIM:

1Turn the router so the rear panel faces you.

2Turn off the power switch of the router and unplug the power cord.

3Match the remote edge of the module with the slot on the router's rear panel.

4Push the module into the router until its front panel is level with the back panel of the router.

5Fasten the module into the router with the captive screws.

6Power on the router, and check the LED of the corresponding slot on the front panel. After the initialization of the module, if the LED for the corresponding slot is on, the module is operating normally. If the LED for the corresponding slot remains off, the POST for the module has failed and you should contact your Service representative.
