Removing an MX960 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.

1. Take the host subsystem offline.
2. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
3. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
4. Rotate the ejector handles simultaneously counterclockwise to unseat the SCB.
5. Grasp the ejector handles, and slide the SCB about halfway out of the chassis.
6. Place one hand underneath the SCB to support it, and slide it completely out of the chassis.
7. Place the SCB on the antistatic mat.
8. If you are not replacing the SCB now, install a blank panel over the empty slot.
