Replacing an MX240 SCB
Before replacing an SCB, read the guidelines in Operating and Positioning the MX240 SCB Ejectors.
Removing an MX240 SCB
To remove an SCB (see Figure 1):
![]() | Note: You can remove the SCB and Routing Engine as a unit, or remove the Routing Engine separately. |
![]() | Caution: Before removing an SCB, ensure that you know how to operate the ejector handles properly to avoid damage to the equipment. |
![]() | Caution: Before you replace an SCB, you must take the host subsystem offline. If there is only one host subsystem, taking the host subsystem offline shuts down the router. |
- Take the host subsystem offline.
- Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.For more information about ESD, see Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage to an MX240 Router.
- Rotate the ejector handles simultaneously counterclockwise to unseat the SCB.
- Grasp the ejector handles, and slide the SCB about halfway out of the chassis.
- Place one hand underneath the SCB to support it, and slide it completely out of the chassis.
- Place the SCB on the antistatic mat.
- If you are not replacing the SCB now, install a blank panel over the empty slot.

Installing an MX240 SCB
To install an SCB (see Figure 2):
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.For more information about ESD, see Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage to an MX240 Router.
- Carefully align the sides of the SCB with the guides inside the chassis.
- Slide the SCB into the chassis until you feel resistance, carefully ensuring that it is correctly aligned.
- Grasp both ejector handles, and rotate them simultaneously clockwise until the SCB is fully seated.
- Place the ejector handles in the proper position, horizontally and toward the center of the board.
- Check the LEDs on the SCB faceplate to verify that
it is functioning normally.
- The green OK/FAIL LED should light steadily a few minutes after the SCB is installed.
- If the OK/FAIL LED is red, remove and install the SCB again. If the OK/FAIL LED still lights steadily, the SCB is not functioning properly. Contact your customer support representative.
- Check the status of
the SCB using the show chassis environment cb command:
