Installing an MX10, MX40, MX80, and MX104 Dual-Wide MIC
To install a dual-wide MIC (see Figure 48 on page 111):
1. Attach an ESD grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the
ESD points on the chassis.
2. If the MIC uses fiber-optic cable, verify that a rubber safety cap is over each transceiver
on the faceplate. Install a cap if necessary.
3. Remove the septum, if necessary (see Figure 47 on page 109):
a. Lift the latch in the center of the two MIC slots to disengage the septum from the
chassis.
b. Slide the septum toward you, and then lift the septum out of the slot.
c. Store the septum for later use.

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.
