Removing an MX960 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 eight AS MLCs can be installed vertically in the front of the MX960 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 165 on page 443):
1. Have ready a replacement AS MLC or an AS MLC blank panel and an antistatic mat for the AS MLC.
2. 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.
3. Use one of the following methods to take the AS MLC offline:
•
Press and hold the AS MLC online/offline button. The green OK LED next to the button begins to
blink. Hold the button down until the LED goes out. The online/offline button for each AS MLC is
located directly above it on the craft interface.
•
Issue the following CLI command:
user@host>request chassis fpc slot slot-number offline
For more information about the command, see the CLI Explorer.
NOTE: The slot number corresponds to the lowest numbered slot for which the AS
MLC is installed.
4. Simultaneously turn both the ejector handles counterclockwise to unseat the AS MLC.
5. Grasp the handles, and slide the AS MLC straight out of the card cage halfway.
