Removing and Installing a Line Card

Caution Be careful not to damage or disturb the EMI spring fingers located on the front edge of the card face plate.

Note Always insert a dust plug in an optical port opening for each port that is not in use.

For information on disconnecting interface cables, see the “Removing and Installing Fiber-Optic Interface Cables” section on page 52.

For information on removing the cable-management bracket, see the “Removing a Line Card

Cable-Management Bracket” section on page 39.

Installing a Line Card

A line card slides into almost any available line card slot and connects directly to the backplane. If you install a new line card, you must first remove the line card blank from the available slot.

Note Refer to the installation and configuration guide for your router for information on line card slot types, slot width, and slot location.

Caution The router may indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Remove or insert only one line card at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the router to complete the preceding tasks before removing or inserting another line card.

To install a line card, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.

Step 2 Choose an available line card slot for the line card, and verify that the line card interface cable is long enough for you to connect the line card with any external equipment.

Caution To prevent ESD damage, handle line cards by the captive installation screws, the provided handle, ejector levers, or the card carrier edges only. Do not touch any of the electrical components or circuitry.

Step 3 Grasp the faceplate (or handle) of the line card with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier to support the weight of the card; position the card for insertion into the card cage slot. Avoid touching the line card printed circuit board, components, or any connector pins.

Step 4 Carefully slide the line card into the slot until the ejector levers make contact with the edges of the card cage, then stop when the ejector lever hooks catch the lip of the card cage. If they do not catch, try reinserting the line card until the ejector lever hooks are fully latched. (See Figure 5.)

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.
