Line cards in the MX10004 are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can be installed in any of the line card
slots on the front of the chassis. The line cards are hot-insertable and hot-removable: you can remove
and replace them without powering off the router or disrupting router functions.
Handle and Store MX10004 Line Cards Properly
The MX10004 line cards have fragile components. To avoid damaging the line cards, be sure you follow
safe handling practices.
Handle an MX10004 Line Card Properly
Pay attention to the way you handle the line cards. Line cards are installed horizontally, and it is best to
hold them by the sides of the units when they are not in the chassis.
To handle an MX10004 line card properly:
1. Orient the line card so that the faceplate is toward you.
2. Grasp each side of the unit firmly as you slide the unit out of the chassis.
3. Take care not to strike the unit against any object as you carry it.
