Cisco Systems XR 12000 Series Removing and Installing a Line Card, Required Tools and Equipment

Page 10

Removing and Installing a Line Card

•Avoid contact between the Ethernet line cards and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board from ESD voltages on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

Warning For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the ESD strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms.

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and parts to remove and install Ethernet line cards:

•Flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver

•ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and instructions

•Interface cables to connect the Ethernet line card with another router or switch

•Any EPAs, GBICs, SFP modules, or memory you need to install (and are not already installed)

Note If you need additional equipment, see Cisco.com or your service representative for ordering information.

Refer to the individual line card descriptions in the “Product Overviews” section on page 4 for more information. Table 4 on page 4 summarized the hardware requirements for each Ethernet line card.

Removing and Installing a Line Card

The following sections provide procedures for removing or installing a line card:

•Guidelines for Line Card Removal and Installation, page 11

•Removing a Line Card, page 11

•Installing a Line Card, page 13

Note See the “Guidelines for Line Card Removal and Installation” section on page 11 before removing a line card while power to the router is on.

Note The procedures in the following sections use illustrations of a Cisco 12012 Internet Router to support the descriptions of removing and installing line cards. Although the card cages of the Cisco 12000 Series Routers differ in the number of card slots, the designated use of slots and the process of removing and installing a line card are basically the same. Therefore, separate procedures and illustrations for other Cisco routers are not included in this publication.

XR 12000 Series specifications

The Cisco Systems XR 12000 Series routers are designed to meet the demands of modern networking environments, ensuring high performance, scalability, and reliability for service providers and large enterprises. This series is engineered to deliver advanced features that facilitate a range of applications, including core routing, edge services, and data center interconnect.

One of the main features of the XR 12000 Series is its advanced routing capabilities. These routers utilize the Cisco IOS XR software architecture, which provides a modular and distributed operating system. This architecture enhances system reliability as individual processes can be restarted independently without affecting overall system operations. As a result, service providers can achieve higher uptime and enhanced service continuity.

The XR 12000 Series supports a robust set of technologies that enable efficient data handling and transport. Notably, the series includes support for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), which enhances traffic engineering, distributed bandwidth management, and Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities. This makes the XR 12000 a preferred choice for operators looking to optimize their network performance under increasing traffic loads.

Furthermore, the XR 12000 Series excels in scalability. With a flexible modular design, operators can customize their systems to fit specific needs by adding additional line cards or service modules. These enhancements enable operators to scale both up and down based on fluctuating demands, accommodating numerous high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, cloud services, and IoT.

Security is another critical characteristic of the XR 12000 routers. Built-in cybersecurity features, including secure boot, strong encryption, and integrity checks, protect against unauthorized access and ensure data integrity. Coupled with advanced monitoring and logging capabilities, these routers can help operators maintain robust security postures.

Additionally, the XR 12000 Series is designed to facilitate seamless integration with existing network infrastructures. The routers support various protocols and interfaces, which ensure interoperability with legacy systems and enhance overall network efficiency.
