To remove or install field-replaceable Physical Interface Modules
(PIMs) in a Services Router, you must first power off the router. This
section contains the following topics:
The PIMs are installed in the front of the Services Router. A
PIM weighs less than 1 lb (0.5 kg).
Caution:
Do
not hot-swap WXC Integrated Services Modules. Failure to power off the router before removing
or installing a WXC Integrated Services Module might result in damage to the hardware.
Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on
a flat, stable surface to receive the PIM.
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding
strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to the ESD point on
the chassis, or to an outside ESD point if the Services Router is disconnected
from earth ground. For more information about ESD, see Preventing Electrostatic
Discharge Damage.
Press and release the power button to power off the router. Verify that
the POWER LED blinks and then turns off.
Label the cables connected to the PIM so that you
can later reconnect each cable to the correct PIM.
Disconnect the cables from the PIM.
If necessary, arrange the cables to prevent them
from dislodging or developing stress points:
Secure each cable so that it is not supporting its own
weight as it hangs to the floor.
Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop.
Use fasteners to maintain the shape of cable loops.
Loosen the captive screws on each side of
the PIM faceplate.
Grasp the handles on each side of the PIM faceplate,
and slide the PIM out of the router. Place it in the electrostatic
bag or on the antistatic mat.
If you are not reinstalling a PIM into the emptied
slot, install a blank PIM panel over the slot to maintain proper airflow.
Installing a PIM
Caution:
Do
not hot-swap WXC Integrated Services Modules. Failure to power off the router before removing
or installing a WXC Integrated Services Module might result in damage to the hardware.
Figure 59: Installing a PIM
Caution:
Do not install a combination of modules in a single chassis
that exceeds the maximum power and heat capacity of the chassis. If
J Series power management is enabled, PIMs and modules (PIMs or PIMs
plus a WXC Integrated Services Module) that exceed the maximum power
and heat capacity remain offline when the chassis is powered on.
To verify that the combination of PIMs to be installed in a
chassis do not exceed the power and heat capacities for the J4350
or J6350 router, see Planning for Power Management.
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding
strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to the ESD point on
the chassis, or to an outside ESD point if the Services Router is disconnected
from earth ground. For more information about ESD, see Preventing Electrostatic
Discharge Damage.
Press and release the power button to power off the router. Verify that
the POWER LED blinks and then turns off.
Align the notches in the connector at the rear
of the PIM with the notches in the PIM slot in the Services Router,
and slide the PIM in until it lodges firmly in the router.
Caution:
Slide the PIM straight into the slot to avoid damaging the components
on the PIM.
Tighten the captive screws on each side of the
PIM faceplate.
Insert the appropriate cables into the cable connectors
on the PIM.
If necessary, arrange the cables to prevent them
from dislodging or developing stress points:
Secure each cable so that it is not supporting its own
weight as it hangs to the floor.
Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop.
Use fasteners to maintain the shape of cable loops.
Press and release the power button to power on the router. Verify
that the POWER LED lights steadily.
