This manual covers three broad categories of interface cards and modules available with MSR Series Routers: smart interface card/double smart interface card (SIC/DSIC), multiplex interface module/double multiplex interface module/expand multiplex interface module (MIM/DMIM/XMIM), and flexible interface card/double flexible interface card (FIC/DFIC). SIC/DSIC Interface Currently, the following types of SIC/DSIC interface cards are available.
FIC/DFIC Interface The following are the FIC/DFIC interface cards available with MSR 50 Series Cards Routers: Ethernet interface cards 1-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX FE interface card (FIC-1FE) 2-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX FE interface card (FIC-2FE) 4-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX FE interface card (FIC-4FE) 1-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T GE electrical interface card (FIC-1GBE) 2-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T GE electrical interface card (FIC-2GBE) 1-port 1000Base-SX/1000Base-LX GE fiber interface card (FIC-1GEF) 2-port 1000Base-SX/1000Base-LX GE fiber interface card (FIC-2GEF)
Installation/Removal of a SIC/MIM/FIC WARNING: H3C MSR 20/30 Series Routers do not support online insertion and removal of SICs and MIMs. Before implementing any of the following operations, wear an anti-static wrist strap and ESD-preventive glove, and make sure that the power of the Router has been turned off and the power cord has been unplugged.
Step 3: Take out the SIC and align its remote edge with the edge of the slot on the Router’s rear panel; Step 4: Push the SIC into the Router until it closely mates with the rear panel of the Router; Step 5: Fasten the SIC into the Router with captive screws;...

1: O HAPTER VERVIEW Step 4: Fix the MIM into the Router with captive screws; Step 5: Power on the Router, and check the LEDs of the corresponding slot on the front panel: ON means that the MIM is operating normally and OFF means that the POST of the MIM has failed.
The MSR 50 series supports hot swapping. Thus, you can remove or install FICs when the router is running without disconnecting the power supply. But before that, you must first execute the remove slot command; otherwise, unknown errors might occur. When you replace the removed FICs, you do not need to execute the undo remove slot command however.
PoE router. For H3C MSR 20-40 and MSR 30 and 50 series routers which have four SIC slots, a 4FSW/1FEF/1FEA/1GEC/1ADSL/1ADSL-I interface card can only be installed in slot 2 or slot 4.
