Unpack Line Cards, Routing Control Boards, and Switch Fabric Boards for
the MX10004 Router
Before you unpack a component of the Juniper Networks MX10004 router:
• Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage. See
"Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage" on page 263
• Ensure that you know how to handle and to store the component. See:
•
"Handle a Routing and Control Board Properly" on page 186
Board in an Electrostatic Bag" on page 186
•
"Handle and Store MX10004 Line Cards Properly" on page 192
Line cards, additional Routing Control Board (RCBs), and Switch Fabric Borad (SFBs) are field-replaceable
units (FRUs) that are shipped separately from the router chassis. The housings for the RCBs and line
cards are rigid sheet-metal structures that house the electronics. SFBs have an exposed printed circuit
board (PCB) on one side and sheet metal on the other. All these components are shipped in a cardboard
carton, secured with packing material.
CAUTION: The components are well protected inside the shipping carton. Keep the
components secured inside their packaging until you are ready to install the
components in the router chassis.
To unpack an RCB, an SFB, or a line card:
1. Move the shipping carton to a staging area as close to the installation site as possible.
2. Position the carton so that the arrows are pointing up.
3. Open the top flaps on the shipping carton.
4. Pull out the packing material that holds the component in place.
5. Remove the component from the antistatic bag.
