Installing an SRX5600 Services Gateway Flex IOC

Note: Your services gateway must be running JUNOS version 9.5R1 or later in order to recognize Flex IOCs and port modules.

To install 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. Place the Flex IOC on an antistatic mat or remove it from its electrostatic bag.
  3. Identify the slot on the services gateway where you will install the Flex IOC.
  4. If you have not already done so, remove the blank panel from the slot where you are installing the Flex IOC.
  5. Orient the Flex IOC so that the faceplate faces you, the text on the card is right-side up, and the EMI strip is on the right-hand side.
  6. Lift the Flex IOC into place and carefully alignthe right and left edges of the card with the guides inside the card cage.
  7. Slide the Flex IOC all the way into the card cage until you feel resistance.

  8. Grasp both ejector handles and rotate them clockwise simultaneously until the Flex IOC is fully seated.
  9. Use one of the following methods to bring the Flex IOC online:
    • Press and hold the corresponding online button on the craft interface until the green OK LED next to the button lights steadily, in about 5 seconds.
    • Issue the following CLI command:

      user@host>request chassis fpc slot slot-number online

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

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