Installing an SRX5600 Services Gateway Port Module

To install a port module into a Flex IOC (see Figure 1):

1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. If you have not already done so, install the Flex IOC in which you are installing the port module.
3. Place the port module on an antistatic mat or remove it from its electrostatic bag.
4. Verify that each fiber-optic transceiver is covered with a rubber safety cap. If it is not, cover the transceiver with a safety cap.
5. If necessary, remove the blank panel covering the slot in the Flex IOC where you are installing the port module.
6. Orient the port module so that the faceplate faces you.
7. Lift the port module into place and carefully align the right and left edges of the port module with the guides inside the Flex IOC.
8. Slide the port module all the way into the Flex IOC until it is fully seated.
9. Tighten both captive screws to secure the port module in the Flex IOC.

10. If the port module uses fiber-optic interfaces, remove the rubber safety cap from each transceiver and cable.

    Warning: Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable connected to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.

11. Insert the appropriate cables into the cable connector ports on each port module. Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop, using the cable management system. Placing fasteners on a loop helps to maintain its shape.

    Caution: Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do not allow fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at the fastening point.

    Caution: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.

12. Use one of the following methods to take the port module online:
    • Insert a pointed tool into the ONLINE pinhole on the front panel of the port module to press the button behind it. Hold the button down until the OK/FAIL LED at the opposite end of the front panel lights green steadily, in about 5 seconds.
    • Issue the following CLI command:
      user@host>request chassis fpc-slot slot-number pic-slot slot-number online

      For more information about the command, see the Junos OS System Basics and Services Command Reference.

    Caution: After the OK/FAIL LED turns green, wait at least 30 seconds before removing the port module again, removing a port module from a different slot, or inserting a port module in a different slot.

You can also verify that the port module is functioning correctly by issuing the show chassis fpc and show chassis fpc pic-status commands.
