Juniper Networks M10i manual Installing a PIC Cable

M10i Internet Router Hardware Guide

1.If the PIC connects to fiber-optic cable, have ready a rubber safety cap for each cable and transceiver.

2.If removing all cables connected to the PIC, use one of the following methods to take the PIC offline:

■Press and hold the PIC offline button until its failure indicator LED lights, which usually takes about 5 seconds. The failure LED is usually red; for more information, see the M10i Internet Router PIC Guide. The offline button for each PIC is located on the HCM and is labeled with the PIC slot number. The PICs in FPC 0 are located on the upper HCM, and the PICs installed in FPC 1 are located on the lower HCM.

■Issue the following CLI command:

user@host>request chassis pic fpc-slot fpc-slotpic-slot pic-slotoffline

For more information about the command, see the JUNOS System Basics and

Services Command Reference.

3.Unplug the cable from the cable connector port. If the PIC uses fiber-optic cable, immediately cover each transceiver and the end of each cable with a rubber safety cap.

WARNING: Do not look directly into the ends of fiber-optic cables or into the transceivers on the interface faceplate. Single-mode fiber-optic cable and the interfaces that use it (such as ATM and SONET/SDH interfaces) emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

CAUTION: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.

4.Remove the cable from the cable management system and detach it from the destination port.
