Removing an MX960 FPC
When you remove an FPC, the router continues to function, although the PIC interfaces installed on the
FPC being removed no longer function.
An FPC takes up two DPC slots on the MX960 router. Up to six FPCs can be installed vertically in the
front of the MX960 router. The FPCs are hot-insertable and hot-removable. An empty FPC3 weighs
14 lb (6.5 kg). A fully configured FPC can weigh up to 18 lb (8.2 kg). Be prepared to accept its full weight.
To remove an FPC (see Figure 195 on page
1. Have ready a replacement FPC or FPC blank panel and an antistatic mat for the FPC. Also have ready
rubber safety caps for each PIC using an optical interface on the FPC that you are removing.
2. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other
end of the strap to the ESD point 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. Use one of the following methods to take the FPC offline:
Press and hold the FPC online/offline button. The green OK LED next to the button begins to blink.
Hold the button down until the LED goes out. The LEDs and online/offline button for each FPC are
located directly above it on the craft interface.
Issue the following CLI command:
