Inserting and Extracting a MIC
Caution Risk of equipment damage. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage SmartEdge router
components. To reduce the risk, never attempt to remove or install a MIC, transceiver, or CF
card without using appropriate ESD protection.
Note The only tool needed to perform the procedures in this chapter is a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
Note
The term, GE, applies to any GE native port or MIC that supports a port speed of 1 Gbps or greater;
unless explicitly stated, the speed of any GE port is 1 Gbps.
Note After you replace a MIC or change its physical configuration, you must enter SmartEdge OS
commands from the command-line interface (CLI) to restore the MIC ports to normal operations.
Caution Risk of equipment damage. You can damage your SmartEdge router if you install and use MICs
that have been repaired in the field. To reduce the risk, never attempt to repair parts or MICs
yourself; always replace any defective MIC with a MIC supplied by your local technical
representative.
