Installing a MIC on an MPC6E | 524
The MPC6E line cards are supported on the MX2008, MX2010 and MX2020 routers. You can install the
MPC6E directly into the MX2008, MX2010 and MX2020 line-card slots without using adapter cards.
The MPC6E has two slots for installing MICs. For information about which MICs are supported on this
MPC, see “MICs Supported by MX Series Routers” on page 79 .
You use the two ejector levers on an MPC6E to insert the MPC into the line-card slot and to remove it
from the slot. Similarly, the two ejector levers on a MIC enable you to insert the MIC into the MPC and
to remove the MIC from the MPC. The ejector levers on the MICs are very close to an ejector lever of the
MPC6E that houses the MICs. This proximity makes the MIC ejector levers difficult to access. The MPC6E
has a unique mechanism by which you can shift the MPC6E ejector levers temporarily, enabling easy access
to the MIC.

Removing a MIC from an MPC6E
To remove a MIC installed on an MPC6E:
1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to
one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. Identify the MIC that you want to remove from the MPC6E.
3. On the MPC6E that houses the MIC, hold the ejector lever at the base and move it gently toward the
direction indicated by the arrow. You might need to apply firm pressure to move the ejector lever.
The MPC6E lever moves about an inch from its original position, leaving enough space for you to easily
access the MIC ejector levers.
