Removing and Replacing a Card in the Lower Card Cage

Step 5 On the card you intend to remove, grasp the card ejector levers and simultaneously pivot both ejector levers ninety degrees inward (away from the sides of the card cage) to unseat the card from the backplane connector. (Refer to Figure 5.)

Step 6 Touching only the metal card carrier, slide the card out of the lower card cage slot and place it immediately on an antistatic mat.

If you plan to return the old clock and scheduler card or switch fabric card to the factory, repackage it in the shipping container you received with the replacement card.

Installing a Card in the Lower Card Cage

Perform the following steps to install a new or replacement card in the lower card cage:

Step 1 Attach an antistatic wrist strap to yourself and to one of the two ESD connection sockets located on the front edges of the upper card cage or to bare metal on the frame.

Step 2 Select the proper slot in the lower card cage to install the card. Cards installed in the lower card cage are color-coded and keyed. Clock and scheduler cards are color-coded light blue and are keyed to install only in the upper two slots. Switch fabric cards are color-coded magenta and are keyed to install only in the bottom three slots.

Step 3 Grasp the card carrier edge with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide it into a matching color-coded slot. Slide the card halfway into the lower card cage slot. Avoid touching the card circuitry or any connectors.

GSR12-SFC=, GSR12-CSC= specifications

Cisco Systems, a leader in networking and communications technology, offers various components and solutions to meet the demands of modern data environments. Among these offerings are the GSR12-SFC= and GSR12-CSC= modules, which are designed to enhance the capabilities of the Cisco 12000 Series routers, primarily utilized in service provider networks and high-performance enterprise environments.

The GSR12-SFC= (Service Feature Card) provides advanced services that allow service providers to deliver high-performance, scalable network services efficiently. Key features include enhanced packet forwarding, traffic management, and support for a wide range of protocols. This card is equipped with intelligent processing, allowing it to handle complex tasks while maintaining high throughput levels.

On the other hand, the GSR12-CSC= (Cell Service Card) focuses on providing efficient cell-based services, particularly crucial for optimized data traffic management. This module also supports Class of Service (CoS) features, ensuring that different types of traffic (like voice, video, and data) are prioritized. This capability is vital for maintaining the quality of service in environments where bandwidth usage is high and varied.

Both the GSR12-SFC= and GSR12-CSC= incorporate advanced technologies such as high-speed packet processing, enabling fast switching and low-latency forwarding. They also support a comprehensive suite of security features, ensuring that data remains protected as it traverses through the network. These characteristics are paramount for service providers and enterprises that rely on robust and secure data transport mechanisms.

The scalability of these modules is another significant advantage. They can accommodate an increase in network demands without sacrificing performance, making them suitable for dynamic environments where traffic patterns are constantly changing. Additionally, both modules come equipped with extensive monitoring and diagnostic tools to provide insights into network performance and health, facilitating proactive maintenance and management.

In summary, the Cisco GSR12-SFC= and GSR12-CSC= are powerful components that equip service providers and enterprises with the necessary tools to manage complex, high-traffic networks effectively. Their advanced features, robust security, and scalability make them integral to delivering superior network performance and reliability in the ever-evolving landscape of data communication.
