Figure 9 Connecting the grounding cable to the grounding hole of router
NOTE:
•
Make sure the resistance reading between router chassis and the ground is smaller than 5 ohms.
•
To guarantee the grounding effect, use the grounding cable provided with the router to connect to
the grounding strip in the equipment room as long as possible.
Installing an MPU
CAUTION:
•
When the router is installed with two MPUs, the standby MPU is hot swappable. When the router
is installed with one MPU, the MPU is not hot swappable.
•
To avoid hardware damage, do not hot swap a FIP or SAP/OAP during the booting process of an
MPU (with the RUN LED fast flashing).
When two MPUs are installed on the router, the ACT LED on the active MPU is steady green. For the
MPU LED descriptions, see "
."
Installing an RPE-X1/RPE-X3/RPE-X5/RPE-X5E MPU
Before installing an RPE-X1, RPE-X3, RPE-X5, or RPE-X5E MPU, install a compatible carrier in the
MPU slot. The RPE-X1 MPU supports the BKEB carrier, the RPE-X3 MPU supports the BKEC
carrier, and the RPE-X5/RPE-X5E MPU supports the BKEE carrier. For the carrier model, see the
barcode on the carrier.
The installation procedures for the RPE-X1, RPE-X3, RPE-X5, and RPE-X5E are the same. This
example uses an RPE-X1.
To install an RPE-X1 MPU:
1.
Locate the slot to install the RPE-X1 MPU.
The RPE-X1 MPU can be installed in slot 4 or slot 5. This procedure uses slot 4 as an example.
2.
Gently push the RPE-X1 carrier (with the components facing up) into slot 4 along the slide rails
until the positioning pins on the backplane are seated in the positioning holes at the bottom of
the RPE-X1 carrier. Then push the ejector levers inward to lock the RPE-X1 carrier in position
and fasten the captive screws on the ejector levers.
