Removing a T1600 PIC
PICs are hot-insertable and hot-removable. When you remove a PIC, the router continues
to function, although the PIC interfaces being removed no longer function.
The PICs are located in the FPCs installed in the front of the router. A PIC weighs less
than 2 lb (0.9 kg).
To remove a PIC (see Figure 140 on page 247):
Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface to receive the
1.
PIC. If the PIC connects to fiber-optic cable, have ready a rubber safety cap for each
transceiver and cable.
Attach an electrostatic discharge ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect
2.
the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
Use one of the following methods to take the PIC offline:
3.
Press and hold the online/offline button until the PIC LED goes out (about 5
seconds).
For a Type 1 PIC, use a tool—such as a flat-blade screwdriver—to press the button
slightly beneath the faceplate of the PIC. For a Type 2 , Type 3, or Type 4 PIC, use
a narrow-ended tool that fits inside the opening that leads to the button.
