FPC Description
The FPCs on a router house the Physical Interface Cards (PICs), which connect the router to
network media. The I/O Manager ASIC or ASICs on the FPC accepts incoming data packets
from the PICs on the FPC and divides each packet into 64-byte cells. The cells cross the
midplane to the SFM, where another ASIC decides how to distribute them among the
memory buffers located on and shared by all installed FPCs. After the SFM decides how to
forward a packet, the I/O Manager ASIC or ASICs on the FPC reassembles the corresponding
data cells back into network-packet form and passes the packet to the appropriate PIC for
transmission to the network.
FPCs are hot-insertable and hot-removable. When you remove or install an FPC, packet
forwarding halts for about 200 ms while the Packet Forwarding Engine adjusts to the change
in the amount of memory available in the pool located on and shared by all FPCs. When you
install an FPC into a functioning router, the Routing Engine downloads the FPC software, the
FPC runs its diagnostics, and the PICs housed on the FPC are enabled. Forwarding continues
uninterrupted during this process.
An FPC can be installed into any FPC slot, regardless of the PICs it contains, and any
combination of slots can be used. If a slot is empty, you must install a blank FPC panel to
shield it, so that cooling air can circulate properly throughout the card cage.
For a description of the FPCs supported on each router, see the following sections:

FPC Installation Instructions 9
Replace an FPC in an M20 Router
Replace an FPC in an M20 Router
On an M20 router, the FPCs are hot-insertable and hot-removable, so you can remove and
replace them without powering down the router. When you remove an FPC, the router
continues to function, but the PICs installed on the FPC do not receive or transmit data.
For instructions, see the following sections:
!Remove an FPC from an M20 Router on page 9
!Install an FPC in an M20 Router on page 10
Remove an FPC from an M20 Router
The FPCs on an M20 router are located on the front of the chassis below the craft interface.
Each FPC, fully configured with four PICs, weighs about 3 lbs (1.5 kg).
To remove an FPC from an M20 router, follow this procedure:
1. Place a antistatic foam mat on a flat, stable surface to receive the FPC. If a foam mat is
not available, substitute a standard flat antistatic mat but use extra care when laying the
FPC on it to avoid damaging the electrical components. If any of the PICs on the FPC use
fiber-optic cable, also have ready a rubber safety cap for each transceiver and cable.
2. Attach an ESD strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on
the chassis.
3. Label the cables connected to each PIC on the FPC so that you can reconnect the cables
to the correct PICs.
4. Take the FPC offline by pressing and holding its offline button for 5 seconds or until the
green OK LED next to the button goes out. The FPC offline buttons are located in a
column at the right side of the craft interface.
5. Disconnect the cables from the PICs on the FPC. If a PIC uses fiber-optic cable,
immediately cover each transceiver and the end of each cable with a rubber safety cap.
Carefully drape each disconnected cable over the covered metal hooks in the cable
management system at the top of the chassis front, to prevent the cables from
developing stress points.
6. Unscrew the thumbscrews at the left and right ends of the FPC.
7. Pull the ends of the extractor clips, which are adjacent to the thumbscrews, away from
the face of the FPC.
Do not look directly into the ends of fiber-optic cables or
into the transceivers on the PIC faceplate. Single-mode
fiber-optic cable and the PICs that use it (such as ATM and
SONET/SDH interfaces) emit laser light that can damage
your eyes.
Do not leave a transceiver uncovered. The safety cap keeps
the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser
light.

8. Grasp the FPC with both hands and slide it about halfway out of the chassis.
SeeFigure7.
9. Place one hand underneath the FPC to support it, and slide it completely out of the
chassis. Set the FPC on the antistatic foam mat prepared in Step 1, component-side
down and with the PIC faceplates facing you.
10. If you are removing or replacing PICs on the FPC, see the instructions in the M20 Internet
Router Hardware Guide.
Figure 7: Remove an FPC from an M20 Router
Install an FPC in an M20 Router
To install an FPC in an M20 router, follow this procedure:
1. Attach an ESD wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the wrist strap to one of the
two ESD points on the chassis.
2. Install or remove PICs as desired by following the instructions in the M20 Internet Router
Hardware Guide. You must install or remove PICs before installing the FPC into the
chassis. If any PICs use fiber-optic cable, make sure that each transceiver is covered with
a rubber safety cap.
To avoid damaging any components, use extra care when
laying the FPC on the antistatic mat, particularly if the mat
is not made of foam.
Do not stack the FPC on top of or under any other
component.

Replace an FPC in an M20 Router
3. Grasp the front of theFPC with both handsand align the rear with the guides at the sides
of the FPC slot in the chassis.
4. Slide the FPC straight into the card cage until it contacts the midplane.
5. Push the ends of the extractor clips, located at the left and right ends of the FPC, inward
toward the face of the FPC. See Figure 8.
6. Tighten the thumbscrews at the left and right ends of the FPC.
7. If any of the PICs on the FPC use fiber-optic cable, remove the rubber safety cap from
each transceiver and the end of each cable.
8. Insert the appropriate cables into the cable connector ports on each PIC on the FPC.
Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable
out of the way in a neatly coiled loop, using the cable management system. Placing
fasteners on a loop helps to maintain its shape.
9. If installing multiple FPCs, repeat Steps 2 through 8 for each one. Wait 30 seconds after
installing each FPC to allow the FPC and PICs to come online.
When about 1 in. (2.5 cm) of the FPC remains outside the
slot, adjust the insertion speed so that it takes between 1
and 15 seconds for the FPC to contact the midplane.
Completing the insertion too quickly or too slowly can
cause the router to reset.
Do not look directly into the ends of fiber-optic cables or
into the transceivers on the PIC faceplate. Single-mode
fiber-optic cable and the PICs that use it (such as ATM and
SONET/SDH interfaces) emit laser light that can damage
your eyes.
Do not let cable hang free from the connector. Do not
allow fastened loops of cable to dangle from the ladder
rack, because this stresses the cable at the fastening point.
Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend
radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can
damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to
diagnose.

FPC Installation Instructions
16
Replace an FPC in an M40e or M160 Router
On an M40e or M160 router, the FPCs are hot-insertable and hot-removable, so you can
remove and replace them without powering down the router. When you remove an FPC, the
router continues to function, but the PICs installed on the FPC do not receive or transmit
data.
For instructions, see the following sections:
!Remove an FPC from an M40e or M160 Router on page 16
!Install an FPC in an M40e or M160 Router on page 18
Remove an FPC from an M40e or M160 Router
The FPCs on an M40e or M160 router are located on the front of the chassis below the craft
interface. Each FPC weighs up to 15 lb (6.8 kg).
To remove an FPC, follow this procedure:
1. Place an antistatic mat on a flat, stable surface to receive the FPC. If removing an
M40e-FPC from an M40e router, use a foam mat; if one is not available, substitute a
standard flat antistatic mat but use extra care when laying the M40e-FPC on it to avoid
damaging the electrical components. If any of the PICs on the FPC use fiber-optic cable,
also have ready a rubber safety cap for each transceiver and cable.
2. Attach an ESD strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on
the chassis.
3. Label the cables connected to each PIC on the FPC so that you can later reconnect the
cables to the correct PICs.
4. Take the FPC offline by pressing and holding down its offline button for about 5 seconds
or until the red FAIL LED next to the button lights. The offline button for each FPC is
located on the craft interface directly above the FPC slot.
5. Disconnect the cables from the PICs on the FPC. If a PIC uses fiber-optic cable,
immediately cover each transceiver and the end of each cable with a rubber safety cap.
Arrange the disconnected cables in the cable management system directly below the
FPC card cage, to prevent the cables from developing stress points.
Do not look directly into the ends of fiber-optic cables or
into the transceivers on the PIC faceplate. Single-mode
fiber-optic cable and the PICs that use it (such as ATM and
SONET/SDH interfaces) emit laser light that can damage
your eyes.

FPC Installation Instructions 17
Replace an FPC in an M40e or M160 Router
6. If you need to remove or replace PICs in an M40e-FPC1 or M40e-FPC2 or on an
M160 router, perform the removal or replacement now, before removing the FPC
from the chassis. For instructions, see the M40e Internet Router Hardware Guide or
M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide. If removing or replacing PICs in an M40e-FPC,
wait until Step 11.
7. Unscrew the thumbscrews at the top and bottom of the FPC.
8. Pull the ends of the ejector levers, which are adjacent to the thumbscrews, away from
the face of the FPC until they are nearly perpendicular to it (see Figure 11, which shows
an M160 router).
9. Grasp the FPC with both hands and slide it about halfway out of the chassis.
10. Place one hand under the FPC to support it and slide it completely out of the chassis.
Set the FPC on the antistatic foam mat prepared in Step 1.
11. If removing or replacing PICs on an M40e-FPC, see the instructions in “Replace a PIC in
an M40e-FPC” on page 20.
Do not leave a transceiver uncovered. The safety cap keeps
the port clean and prevents accidental exposure to laser
light.
Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend
radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can
damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to
diagnose.
The weight of the FPC is concentrated in the back end. Be
prepared to accept the full weight—up to 15 lb (6.8 kg)—as
you slide the FPC out of the chassis.
Do not hold the FPC bythe ejector levers, bus bars, or edge
connectors. They cannot support its weight.
To avoid damaging any components, use extra care when
laying an M40e-FPC component-side down on the
antistatic mat, particularly if the mat is not made of foam.
Do not stack the FPC on top of or under any other
component.

Install an FPC in an M40e or M160 Router
To install an FPC in an M40e or M160 router, follow this procedure (see Figure 12):
1. Attach an ESD strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on
the chassis.
2. If installing an M40e-FPC, you must install PICs into it now, before installing the
M40e-FPC in the chassis. See the instructions in “Replace a PIC in an M40e-FPC” on
page 20.
If installing an M40e-FPC1 or M40e-FPC2 in an M40e router or any FPC in an M160
router, wait to remove or replace PICs until Step 7.
If any PICs already installed in the FPC use fiber-optic cable, make sure that each
transceiver is covered with a rubber safety cap.
3. Verify that the ends of the ejector levers, which are located at the top and bottom of the
FPC, are pushed outward, nearly perpendicular to the face of the FPC.

4. Grasp the front of the FPC with one hand and place the other hand under the FPC to
support it.
5. Align the rear bottom corners of the FPC with the guides at the bottom of the desired
FPC slot. Slide the FPC all the way into the card cage until it contacts the midplane.
6. Push the ends of the ejector levers inward until they are nearly flush with the face of the
FPC (see Figure 12, which shows an M160 router).
7. If installing an M40e-FPC1 or M40e-FPC2 in an M40e router or any FPC in an
M160 router, you can remove or replace PICs at this point. For instructions, see the
M40e Internet Router Hardware Guide or M160 Internet Router Hardware Guide.
8. If any of the PICs on the FPC connect to fiber-optic cable, remove the rubber safety cap
from each transceiver and cable.
9. Insert the appropriate cable into the cable connector ports on each PIC on the FPC.
Secure the cables so that they are not supporting their own weight. Place excess cable
out of the way in a neatly coiled loop, using the cable management system. Placing
fasteners on a loop helps to maintain its shape.
10. Press and hold the FPC offline button on the craft interface above the slot that houses
the FPC to bring the FPC and PICs online. When the FPC is online, the FPC LED labeled
OK on the craft interface lights steadily and you can release the offline button.
Do not hold the FPC bythe ejector levers, bus bars, or edge
connectors. They cannot support its weight.
When an M40e-FPC is installed in the chassis, the lettering
on the faceplates of the PICs is upside down .
Do not look directly into the ends of fiber-optic cables or
into the transceivers on the PIC faceplate. Single-mode
fiber-optic cable and the PICs that use it (such as ATM and
SONET/SDH interfaces) emit laser light that can damage
your eyes.
Do not let cable hang free from the connector. Do not
allow fastened loops of cable to dangle from the ladder
rack, because this stresses the cable at the fastening point.
Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend
radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can
damage the cable and cause problems that are difficult to
diagnose.
