Figure 277: Do Not Rest the FPC on an Edge
Holding PTX5000 FPCs Vertically
NOTE: An FPC configured with PICs installed can weigh as much as 50 lb (22.7 kg). Be prepared
to accept the full weight of the FPC as you lift it.
You hold an FPC vertically when installing it into the chassis. To hold an FPC vertically (see
on page
515):
1. Orient the FPC so that the faceplate faces you.
2. Place one hand around the FPC faceplate about a quarter of the way down from the top edge. To
avoid deforming the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding strip, do not press hard on it.
