Installing an MX960 MIC
To install a MIC (see Figure 143 on page 398):
1. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other
end of the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.
2. If you have used a dual-wide MIC and are now replacing it with two “single” MICs, install the septum
(see Figure 142 on page 396):
a. Place the MPC on a flat surface (if necessary, remove the MPC from the router as described in
“Removing an MX960 MPC” on page 510).
b. Position the septum in the center of the MPC so that it lines up with holes labeled S on the top of
the MPC.
c. Insert a screw into each of the two holes labeled S, and then tighten completely.
d. On the bottom of the MPC, insert a screw into each of the four holes labeled S, and then tighten
completely.
e. Install the MPC as described in “Installing an MX960 MPC” on page 403.

3. If the MIC uses fiber-optic cable, verify that a rubber safety cap is over each transceiver on the faceplate.
Install a cap if necessary.
4. On the MPC, pull the ejector lever that is adjacent to the MIC you are installing away from the MPC
faceplate.
5. Align the rear of the MIC with the guides located at the corners of the MIC slot.
