Maintaining The Ptx5000 Pic Cables - Juniper PTX5000 Hardware Manual

7. Arrange each cable in the cable management system to prevent the cable from dislodging or
developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own weight as it hangs to
the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop in the cable management system.
Placing fasteners on the loop helps to maintain its shape.
CAUTION: Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow
fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.
CAUTION: 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.
8. Use one of the following methods to bring the PIC online:
• Press the PIC offline/online button until the PIC LED lights green.
• Issue the following CLI command:
user@host> request chassis pic fpc-slot
The normal functioning status LED confirms that the PIC is online. You can also verify correct PIC
functioning by issuing the show chassis fpc pic-status command.
