Replace an FPC in an M40e or M160 Router

•Replace an FPC in an M40e or M160 Router

•
•	On an M40e or M160 router, the FPCs are hot-insertable and hot-removable, so you can
•	remove and replace them without powering down the router. When you remove an FPC, the
•	router continues to function, but the PICs installed on the FPC do not receive or transmit
•	data.
•
•	For instructions, see the following sections:
•
•	! Remove an FPC from an M40e or M160 Router on page 16
•
•	! Install an FPC in an M40e or M160 Router on page 18

•Remove an FPC from an M40e or M160 Router

•
•	The FPCs on an M40e or M160 router are located on the front of the chassis below the craft
•
	interface. Each FPC weighs up to 15 lb (6.8 kg).
•
•	To remove an FPC, follow this procedure:
•
•	1. Place an antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface to receive the FPC. If removing an
•
		M40e-FPC from an M40e router, use a foam mat; if one 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. If any of the PICs on the FPC use fiber-optic cable,
•
		also have ready a rubber safety cap for each transceiver and cable.
•
•	2.	Attach an ESD strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on
•
		the chassis.
•
•	3. Label the cables connected to each PIC on the FPC so that you can later reconnect the
•
		cables to the correct PICs.
•
•	4.	Take the FPC offline by pressing and holding down its offline button for about 5 seconds
•
		or until the red FAIL LED next to the button lights. The offline button for each FPC is
•
		located on the craft interface directly above the FPC slot.
•
•	5. Disconnect the cables from the PICs on the FPC. If a PIC uses fiber-optic cable,
•
		immediately cover each transceiver and the end of each cable with a rubber safety cap.
•
		Arrange the disconnected cables in the cable management system directly below the
•
		FPC card cage, to prevent the cables from developing stress points.
•
•
•			Do not look directly into the ends of fiber-optic cables or
•			into the transceivers on the PIC faceplate. Single-mode
•			fiber-optic cable and the PICs that use it (such as ATM and
•			SONET/SDH interfaces) emit laser light that can damage
•			your eyes.
