FPC Installation Instructions
17
Replace an FPC in an M40e or M160 Router
6. If you need to remove or replace PICs in an M40e-FPC1 or M40e-FPC2 or on an
M160 router, perform the removal or replacement now, before removing the FPC
from the chassis. For instructions, see the M40e Internet Router Hardware Guide or
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide. If removing or replacing PICs in an M40e-FPC,
wait until Step 11.
7. Unscrew the thumbscrews at the top and bottom of the FPC.
8. Pull the ends of the ejector levers, which are adjacent to the thumbscrews, away from
the face of the FPC until they are nearly perpendicular to it (see Figure 11, which shows
an M160 router).
9. Grasp the FPC with both hands and slide it about halfway out of the chassis.
10. Place one hand under the FPC to support it and slide it completely out of the chassis.
Set the FPC on the antistatic foam mat prepared in Step 1.
11. If removing or replacing PICs on an M40e-FPC, see the instructions in “Replace a PIC in
an M40e-FPC” on page 20.
Do not leave a transceiver uncovered. The safety cap keeps
the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser
light.
Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend
radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can
damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to
diagnose.
The weight of the FPC is concentrated in the back end. Be
prepared to accept the full weight—up to 15 lb (6.8 kg)—as
you slide the FPC out of the chassis.
Do not hold the FPC by the ejector levers, bus bars, or edge
connectors. They cannot support its weight.
To avoid damaging any components, use extra care when
laying an M40e-FPC component-side down on the
antistatic mat, particularly if the mat is not made of foam.
Do not stack the FPC on top of or under any other
component.
