Juniper MX960 - Removing a Cable on an MX960 DPC, MPC, MIC, or PIC

Removing a Cable on an MX960 DPC, MPC, MIC, or PIC
Removing and installing cables on a DPC, MPC, MIC, or PIC does not affect router function, except that
the component does not receive or transmit data while its cable is disconnected.
To remove a fiber-optic cable:
1. If the component connects to fiber-optic cable, have ready a rubber safety cap for each cable and
transceiver.
2. If removing all cables connected to the component, use one of the following methods to take the
component offline:
•
To take a DPC or an MPC offline:
•
Press and hold the corresponding online button on the craft interface. The green OK LED next to
the button begins to blink. Hold the button down until the LED goes off.
•
Issue the following CLI command:
user@host>request chassis fpc slot slot-number offline
For more information about the command, see the CLI Explorer.
•
To take a PIC offline:
•
Press the online/offline button on the PIC. For a PIC installed in an FPC3, use a narrow-ended tool
that fits inside the opening that leads to the button. Press and hold the button until the PIC LED
goes out (about 5 seconds).
•
Issue the following CLI command:
user@host> request chassis pic fpc-slot fpc-slot pic-slot pic-slot offline
For more information about the command, see the CLI Explorer.
•
To take a MIC offline:
•
Press the online/offline button on the MIC. Use a narrow-ended tool that fits inside the opening
that leads to the button. Press and hold the button until the MIC LED goes off (about 5 seconds).
•
Issue the following CLI command:
user@host> request chassis mic fpc-slot mpc-slot pic-slot mic-slot offline
For more information about the command, see the CLI Explorer.
3. Unplug the cable from the cable connector port. If the PIC uses fiber-optic cable, immediately cover
each transceiver and the end of each cable with a rubber safety cap.
