7. Remove the rubber safety cap from the transceiver and the end of the cable. Insert
the cable into the transceiver.
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.
8. Verify that the status LEDs on the component faceplate indicate that the SFP or XFP
is functioning correctly. For more information about the component LEDs, see the MX
Series Interface Module Reference.

Removing an MX240 AS MLC
When you remove an Application Services Modular Line Card (AS MLC), the router
continues to function, although the modular cards (AS MXC and AS MSC) installed on
the AS MLC being removed no longer function.
Up to five AS MLCs can be installed horizontally in the front of the MX240 router. The AS
MLCs are hot-insertable and hot-removable. An empty AS MLC weighs 10.5 lb (4.76 kg).
A fully configured AS MLC can weigh up to 15.27 lb (6.93 kg). Be prepared to accept its
full weight.
To remove an AS MLC (see Figure 145 on page 327):
1. Have ready a replacement AS MLC or an AS MLC blank panel and an antistatic mat
for the AS MLC.
2. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
3. Use one of the following methods to take the AS MLC offline:
