Removing the CIP

To remove the CIP, follow this procedure (see Figure 64):

1. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface.
2. On the console or other management device connected to the master Routing Engine, enter CLI operational mode and issue the following command to shut down the router software. (If two Routing Engines are installed, also issue the command on the backup Routing Engine.)
   user@host> request system halt

   Wait until a message appears on the console confirming that the operating system has halted.

   For more information about the command, see the JUNOS Protocols, Class of Service, and System Basics Command Reference.

3. Press the power switch for both power supplies to the OFF (0) position. The switches are on the circuit breaker box.
4. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. Make sure the router is attached to a proper earth ground. For more information about ESD, see Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
5. Disconnect any external devices connected to the CIP. For instructions, see Replacing the Management Ethernet Cable, Replacing the Console or Auxiliary Cable, and Replace Alarm Relay Wires.
6. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen and remove the screw at each end of the CIP faceplate.
7. Grasp the CIP and slide it out of the chassis. Place it in the electrostatic bag or on the antistatic mat.

   Be sure to slide the CIP straight within the slot to avoid damaging the connector pins on the front of the midplane.
