Installing MIC-X interface cards
CAUTION:
•
Do not install a MIC-X interface card when the device is operating.
•
To avoid configuration loss of a MIC-X interface card, first install it on a FIP module, and then
install the FIP module with it on the device.
•
To install two MIC-X interface cards on the FIP module, install one first in slot 2 and then
another in slot 1 as a best practice. Otherwise, the access panel of the device might hinder the
interface card installation in slot 2. If you have installed an interface card in slot 1, you must
press down the ejector levers of the interface card and then insert it into slot 2 slowly.
To install an MIC-X interface card:
1.
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure the strap makes good skin contact and is reliably
grounded.
2.
Locate the target slot on the FIP module.
3.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on the filler panel. Insert a flat-head
screwdriver into the hole on the filler panel to pull the filler panel out the slot.
Keep the removed filler panel secure.

4.
Open the ejector levers on the MIC-X interface card and push the MIC-X interface card slowly
into the slot along the guide rails.
5.
Close the ejector levers until the MIC-X interface card is securely seated in the slot.
6.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to fasten the captive screws on the MIC-X interface card.
