Removing an M120 PIC Cable
To remove a PIC cable:
- If the PIC connects to fiber-optic cable, have ready a rubber safety cap for each cable and transceiver.
If removing all cables connected to the PIC, use one of the following methods to take the PIC offline:
- Press its online/offline button. For a PIC installed in an FPC1, use a tool—such as a flat-blade screwdriver—to press the button slightly beneath the faceplate of the PIC. For a PIC installed in an FPC2 or FPC3, use a narrow-ended tool that fits inside the opening that leads to the button. Press and hold the button until the PIC LED goes out (about 5 seconds).
- Issue the CLI command:
user@host> request chassis pic fpc-slot fpc-slot pic-slot pic-slot offlineFor more information about the command, see the Junos System Basics and Services Command Reference.
- Unplug the cable from the cable connector port.
If the PIC uses fiber-optic cable, immediately cover each transceiver
and the end of each cable with a rubber safety cap.
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.
Caution: Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when inserting or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser light.
- Remove the cable from the cable management system and detach it from the destination port.
