NOTE: The MX10K-LC9600 line cards are shipped with a protective plastic cover on the fabric
interface connectors. The plastic cover keeps the connectors clean and free of dust and other
particles. When you remove MX10K-LC9600 line card from the router, re-insert the protective
plastic cover on the fabric interface connectors and then place the line card in an antistatic bag
or on an antistatic mat placed on a flat, stable surface.
To store a line card properly in an antistatic bag:
1. Hold the unit horizontally with the faceplate toward you.
2. Slide the opening of the antistatic bag over the connector edge.
If you must insert the line card into an antistatic bag by yourself:
1. Lay the unit horizontally on an antistatic mat that is on a flat, stable surface with the sheet-metal side
down.
2. Orient the unit with the faceplate toward you.
3. Carefully insert the connector edge into the opening of the bag and pull the bag toward you to cover
the unit.
