Action On a regular basis:
• Check the LEDs on MIC faceplates. The meaning of the LED states differs for various
MICs. For more information, see the MX Series Interface Module Reference. If the router
detects a MIC failure, the router generates an alarm message to be sent to the Routing
Engine.
• Issue the CLI show chassis fpc pic-status command. The MIC slots in the MX5, MX10,
MX40, and modular MX80 router are numbered 1/MIC 0 and 1/MIC 1. The fixed MIC is
numbered 0/MIC 0.

Removing an MX5, MX10, MX40, and MX80 MIC
MICs are hot-insertable and hot-removable. When you remove a MIC, the router continues
to function, although the MIC interfaces being removed no longer function.
In the MX5, MX10, MX40, and modular configuration of the MX80 router, the MICs can
be installed in two slots in the front of the router. A MIC weighs less than 2 lb (0.9 kg).
To remove a MIC (see Figure 43 on page 106 and Figure 44 on page 106):
1. Place an electrostatic bag or antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface to receive the
MIC. If the MIC connects to fiber-optic cable, have ready a rubber safety cap for each
transceiver and cable.
2. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
3. Use one of the following methods to take the MIC offline:
