Replacing a FIP module
CAUTION:
When the RUN LED of the FIP module is fast flashing, do not unplug the FIP module.
To replace a FIP module, for example, FIP-20:
1.
Determine the FIP module to be removed. This section takes the FIP module in slot 3 as an example.
2.
Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws of the FIP module to be removed until all
spring pressure is released.
3.
Holding the ejector levers of the FIP module with both hands, pull the ejector levers outward, and
gently pull the FIP module out of the slot along the slide rails.

NOTE:
To replace a FIP module when the router is running, perform the
remove slot
slot-number command and
then unplug the module.
Replacing a HIM/MIM
NOTE:
To replace a HIM/MIM module when the router is running, perform the
remove slot
slot-number
command and then unplug the module.
The procedures for replacing HIMs and MIMs are similar. This example replaces a MIM to a FIP-20.
To replace a MIM:
1.
Determine the MIM to be removed. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to completely loosen the captive
screws of the MIM to be removed.
