Installing an MX240 AS MLC
You can install up to five Application Services Modular Line Cards (AS MLCs) 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 install an AS MLC (see Figure 101 on page 251):
1. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
2. Place the AS MLC on an antistatic mat.
3. Take the AS MSC and AS MXC (the modular cards) to be installed in the AS MLC out
of its electrostatic bag. The AS MSC must be inserted in the left slot and the AS MXC
in the right slot.
4. Install the AS MSC and AS MXC into the appropriate slot on the AS MLC.
5. Locate the slots in the card cage in which you plan to install the AS MLC.
6. Orient the AS MLC so that the faceplate faces you.
7. Lift the AS MLC into place, and carefully align the sides of the AS MLC with the guides
inside the card cage.
CAUTION: When the AS MLC is out of the chassis, do not hold it by the
ejector handles, bus bars, or edge connectors. They cannot support its
weight.
8. Slide the AS MLC all the way into the card cage until you feel resistance.
