Installing an SRX5800 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):
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
- Place the Flex IOC on an antistatic mat or remove it from its electrostatic bag.
- Identify the slot on the services gateway where you will install the Flex IOC.
- If you have not already done so, remove the blank panel from the slot where you are installing the Flex IOC.
- 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.
- Lift the Flex IOC into place and carefully align first the bottom and then the top of the card with the guides inside the card cage.
- Slide the Flex IOC all the way into the card cage
until you feel resistance.
