the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. Remove the septum, if necessary (see Figure 109 on page 212 ):
a. Place the MPC on a flat surface (if necessary, remove the MPC from the router as
described in
“Removing an MX480 MPC” on page 204 ).
b. Remove the four screws labeled S on the bottom of the MPC.
c. Remove the two screws labeled S on the top of the MPC.

on the faceplate. Install a cap if necessary.
4. Pull the ejector lever above both MIC slots away from the router.
5. Align the rear of the MIC with the guides located at the corners of the MIC slot.
6. Slide the MIC into the MIC slot until it is firmly seated in the chassis.
CAUTION: Slide the MIC straight into the slot to avoid damaging the
components on the MIC.
7. Verify that the ejector levers are engaged by pushing them toward the router.
8. If the MIC uses fiber-optic cable, remove the rubber safety cap from each transceiver
and the end of each cable.
