Installing a PIC

To install a PIC, follow this procedure (see Figure 36):

1.Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. Make sure the router is attached to a proper earth ground. For more information about ESD, see “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage” on page 140.

2.If the PIC uses fiber-optic cable, verify that there is a rubber safety cap over each transceiver on the faceplate. Install a cap if necessary.

3.Prepare the PIC for insertion into the chassis:

■For a regular PIC, hold the PIC in one hand and with your other hand pull the end of the ejector lever away from the PIC faceplate. Hold the lever out while you insert the PIC.

■For a quad-wide PIC, verify that the end of each ejector lever is pulled away from the PIC faceplate, toward the ends of the PIC.

4.Align the rear of the PIC with the guides located at the bottom corners of the PIC slot.

5.Slide the PIC into the slot:

■For a regular PIC, slide the PIC into the slot until about 0.5 in. (1 cm) of the PIC remains outside the slot and you feel some resistance. Release the ejector lever and gently push the PIC faceplate until you hear a click as the PIC contacts the midplane. The ejector lever engages and closes automatically.

■For a quad-wide PIC, slide the PIC into the slot until it contacts the midplane. Push the ejector levers inward toward the PIC faceplate to seat the PIC securely in the chassis.

CAUTION: Slide the PIC straight into the slot to avoid damaging the components on the PIC.
