FPC Description
FPCs house the Physical Interface Cards (PICs) that connect the router to network media. The
main function of an FPC is to connect the PICs installed in it to the other router components.
Up to eight FPCs install vertically in the front of the T320 router or T640 routing node
(see Figure 1). The FPCs are numbered FPC0 through FPC7, left to right. Each FPC on a T320
router can house up to two PICs, and each FPC on a T640 routing node can house up to four
FPCs. An FPC can be installed into any FPC slot on the routing platform, regardless of which
PICs it contains.
FPCs are hot-removable and hot-insertable. When you bring an FPC online in an operating
routing platform, the Routing Engine downloads the FPC software, the FPC runs its
diagnostics, and the PICs in the FPC are enabled. No interruption occurs to the routing
functions. For more information about FPC functionality, see the T320 Internet Router
Hardware Guide and T640 Internet Routing Node Hardware Guide

This document explains how to avoid damaging the Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs) that Part No. 530-010119-01 Revision 1 install into Juniper Networks T320 Internet routers and T640 Internet routing nodes. Many 25 August 2003 components on the FPC are fragile and can be irreparably damaged if the FPC is not handled carefully. - Page 2 FPC Description Figure 1: FPC Installed in T640 Routing Node Chassis This document discusses how to hold FPCs in both the vertical and horizontal positions. Regardless of orientation, the same terms are used for each of the four edges of the FPC (see Figure 2): Faceplate—The edge of the FPC that has slots into which the PICs insert Connector edge—The edge opposite the faceplate, with the connectors that attach to the...

Page 4: Store An Fpc
Store an FPC Store an FPC Store an FPC as follows: In the routing platform In the container in which a spare FPC is shipped Horizontally and component-side up on a flat, stable surface When you store the FPC on a horizontal surface or in the shipping container, always place it inside an antistatic bag. -
Page 5: Hold An Fpc
Hold an FPC Hold an FPC You hold an FPC vertically when installing it into the chassis or an equipment rack. When carrying an FPC, you can hold it either vertically or horizontally. An FPC configured with four Physical Interface Cards (PICs) can weigh as much as 32 lb (14.5 kg). - Page 6 Hold an FPC If the FPC is in a horizontal position before you grasp it, place your left hand around the faceplate and your right hand along the bottom edge. If the FPC is in a vertical position before you grasp it (if it is installed in a router or routing node, for example), you can place either hand around the faceplate and the other hand under the bottom edge.
- Page 7 Hold an FPC Never hold or grasp the FPC in any places except those indicated in this document. In particular, never grasp the connector edge, especially at the power connector located in the corner where the connector and bottom edges meet (see Figure 6). Figure 6: Do Not Grasp the Connector Edge Hand position can damage fragile prongs on power connector in corner...
- Page 8 Hold an FPC Never carry the FPC by the faceplate with only one hand (see Figure 7). Figure 7: Do Not Carry an FPC with Only One Hand Do not rest any edge of an FPC directly against a hard surface (see Figure 8). If you must rest the FPC temporarily on an edge while changing its orientation between vertical and horizontal, use your hand as a cushion between the edge and the surface.

Page 9: Install An Fpc
Install an FPC Install an FPC The FPC power connector is located in the corner where the bottom and connector edges meet. If a power connector prong becomes bent, it no longer aligns with the female connector on the midplane, and the FPC no longer functions. To avoid damaging the power connector when installing an FPC, follow this procedure (see Figure 9): Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. -
