CAUTION: Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend
radius.An arc smallerthan a few inches in diameter can damage the cable
and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
7. On the MPC, pull the ejector lever that is adjacent to the MIC you are removing away
from the MPC faceplate. Pulling the ejector lever disconnects the MIC from the MPC.
NOTE: To remove a dual-wide MIC that takes up both MIC slots, you must
pull both ejector levers away from the MPC faceplate.
8. Grasp the handles on the MIC faceplate, and slide the MIC out of the MPC card carrier.
Place it in the electrostatic bag or on the antistatic mat.
9. If you are not reinstalling a MIC into the emptied MIC slot within a short time, install
a blank MIC panel over the slot to maintain proper airflow in the MPC card cage.
