NOTE: Because these units are heavy and antistatic bags are fragile, two people should insert
the RCB into the bag.
To store an RCB in an electrostatic bag:
1. Hold the unit horizontally with the faceplate toward you.
2. Have the second person slide the opening of the antistatic bag over the connector edge and then
pull the bag to cover the unit.
If you must insert an RCB into a bag by yourself:
1. Lay the unit horizontally on an antistatic mat that is on a flat, stable surface with the sheet-metal side
down.
2. Orient the unit with the faceplate toward you.
3. Carefully insert the connector edge into the opening of the bag and pull the bag toward you to cover
the unit.
Install an MX10004 Routing and Control Board
A Juniper Networks MX10004 router can have one or two Routing and Control Boards (RCBs),
depending on the configuration. You can install RCBs in either of the two top slots on the front of the
chassis.
In redundant configurations, an RCB is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU).
In base configurations, you need to install a second RCB before removing a failing RCB in order to
prevent the router from shutting down.
Before you install an RCB, ensure that you have an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap.
