Installing a PIC

To install a PIC, follow this procedure (see

5.
CAUTION: Slide the PIC straight into the slot to avoid damaging the components on
the PIC.
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and
connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. Make sure the router
is attached to a proper earth ground. For more information about ESD, see
"Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage"
If the PIC uses fiber-optic cable, verify that there is a rubber safety cap over each
transceiver on the faceplate. Install a cap if necessary.
Prepare the PIC for insertion into the chassis:
For a regular PIC, hold the PIC in one hand and with your other hand pull
the end of the ejector lever away from the PIC faceplate. Hold the lever out
while you insert the PIC.
For a quad-wide PIC, verify that the end of each ejector lever is pulled away
from the PIC faceplate, toward the ends of the PIC.
Align the rear of the PIC with the guides located at the bottom corners of the PIC
slot.
Slide the PIC into the slot:
For a regular PIC, slide the PIC into the slot until about 0.5 in. (1 cm) of the
PIC remains outside the slot and you feel some resistance. Release the ejector
lever and gently push the PIC faceplate until you hear a click as the PIC
contacts the midplane. The ejector lever engages and closes automatically.
For a quad-wide PIC, slide the PIC into the slot until it contacts the midplane.
Push the ejector levers inward toward the PIC faceplate to seat the PIC
securely in the chassis.
