Installing an MX960 AS MLC
You can install up to eight Application Services Modular Line Cards (AS MLCs) 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 install an AS MLC (see Figure 153 on page 421):
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. 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 top slot and the AS MXC in the bottom 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.
9. Grasp both ejector handles, and rotate them clockwise simultaneously until the AS MLC is fully seated.
10. Use one of the following methods to bring the AS MLC online:
•
Press and hold the AS MLC online/offline button until the green OK LED next to the button lights
steadily, in about 5 seconds. The LEDs and online/offline button for each AS MLC are located directly
above it on the craft interface.
•
Issue the following CLI command:
