When you store a DPC on a horizontal surface or in the shipping container, always place it inside an
antistatic bag. Because the DPC is heavy, and because antistatic bags are fragile, inserting the DPC into
the bag is easier with two people. To do this, one person holds the DPC in the horizontal position with the
faceplate facing the body, and the other person slides the opening of the bag over the DPC connector
edge.
If you must insert the DPC into a bag by yourself, first lay the DPC horizontally on a flat, stable surface,
sheet metal side down. Orient the DPC with the faceplate facing you. Carefully insert the DPC connector
edge into the opening of the bag, and pull the bag toward you to cover the DPC.
Never stack a DPC under or on top of any other component.

Maintaining MX960 FPCs
Purpose
The router can have one Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) installed vertically in two DPC slots at the front
of the chassis. For optimum router performance, verify the condition of the FPC.
Action
On a regular basis:
•
Check the LEDs on the craft interface directly above the FPC. The green LED labeled OK lights steadily
when an FPC is functioning normally.
•
Check the OK/FAIL LED on the FPC. If the FPC detects a failure, the FPC sends an alarm message to
the Routing Engine.
•
Issue the CLI show chassis fpc command to check the status of the installed FPC. As shown in the sample
output, the value Online in the column labeled State indicates that the FPC is functioning normally:
user@host> show chassis fpc
