1.5.3 Installing/Removing a FIC
Caution:
The EMI gaskets on the FIC panel can filter electromagnetic interference of the router.
Do not damage them when uninstalling or replacing an FIC.
If you do not install a new FIC after removing the old one, replace the blank filter panel
to keep off the dust and ensure adequate ventilation of the router.
The MSR 50 series supports hot swapping. Thus, you can remove or install FICs when
the router is running without disconnecting the power supply. But before that, you must
first execute the
remove slot
command; otherwise, unknown errors might occur. When
you replace the removed FICs, you do not need to execute the
undo remove slot
command however.
If you execute the
remove slot
command inadvertently, you can cancel that operation
by using the
undo remove slot
command.

II. Removing a FIC
Step 1: Place the router with the front panel forward.
Step 2: Remove the cables connected to the FIC.
Step 3: Loosen the captive screws at both sides of the FIC.
Step 4: Push the ejector levers at both sides of the FIC outward, pull the FIC out of the
slot along the guides until disengaging it totally from the slot.
III. Installing a FIC
Step 1: Place the router with the front panel forward.
Step 2: Align the remote edge of the FIC with the slot edge, push it into the slot, push
the ejector levers inward until it presses against the FIC panel (the angles thus formed
between the FIC panel and the levers are the minimum angles).
Step 3: Fix the FIC in the chassis by fastening the captive screws.
Repeat these steps to install all the other FICs.
1.6 Troubleshooting
H3C Series Routers provide LEDs, thus facilitating you to make sure whether a
SIC/MIM/FIC is properly installed by viewing their state as follows:
