Maintaining MX240 MICs
Purpose For optimum router performance, verify the condition of the MICs.
Action On a regular basis:
• Check the LEDs on MIC faceplates. The meaning of the LED states differs for various
MICs. For more information, see the MX Series Interface Module Reference. If the MPC
that houses the MIC detects a MIC failure, the MPC generates an alarm message to be
sent to the Routing Engine.
• Issue the CLI show chassis fpc pic-status command. The MIC slots in an MPC are
numbered PIC 0/1 and PIC 2/3, left to right:
user@host> show chassis fpc pic-status
Slot 0   Online       MPC Type 2 3D EQ
  PIC 0  Online       1x 10GE XFP
  PIC 1  Online       1x 10GE XFP
Slot 1   Online       MPC 3D 16x 10GE
  PIC 0  Online       4x 10GE(LAN) SFP+
  PIC 1  Online       4x 10GE(LAN) SFP+
  PIC 2  Online       4x 10GE(LAN) SFP+
  PIC 3  Online       4x 10GE(LAN) SFP+
Slot 2   Online       MS-DPC
  PIC 0  Online       MS-DPC PIC
  PIC 1  Online       MS-DPC PIC 
For further description of the output from the command, see the CLI Explorer.

Maintaining MX240 MPCs
Purpose For optimum router performance, verify the condition of the Modular Port Concentrators
(MPCs). The router can have up to three MPCs mounted horizontally in the card cage at
the front of the chassis.
Action On a regular basis:
• Check the LEDs on the craft interface directly above each MPC slot. The green LED
labeled OK lights steadily when an MPC is functioning normally.
• Check the OK/FAIL LED on the MPC. If the MPC detects a failure, the MPC sends an
alarm message to the Routing Engine.
