Installing a FIP module and an air deflector
Installing a FIP module
IMPORTANT:
FIP-10 and FIP-20 can operate correctly only on a router installed with an MCP.
The router supports hot swapping of FIP modules.
The installation procedure is similar for FIPs. The following procedure installs a FIP-210.
To install a FIP module:
1.
Locate the slot to install the FIP module.
2.
Remove the captive screws on the filler panel, and then remove the filler panel.
3.
Use even pressure to gently push the FIP module into the slot along the slide rails until
positioning pins are seated in the positioning holes in the backplane, and then push the ejector
levers inward to lock the FIP module in position.
If you encounter a resistance when pushing a FIP module into slot, remove the filler panels from
the left and right slots and then install the FIP module. After the FIP module is installed, reinstall
the removed filler panels to prevent dust from entering the chassis.

4.
Fasten the captive screws on the FIP module.
5.
Observe the RUN LED on the FIP to verify that the FIP module is installed correctly.
After the router is powered on, the RUN LED on the FIP flashes green once and then fast
flashes (at 8 Hz) until the application software is loaded. When the RUN LED flashes green at 1
Hz, the FIP is operating correctly.
For the FIP LED descriptions, see "
