FC Card Ejector Levers

Ejector levers are provided for inserting and removing the FC cards from the backplane connectors. The
insertion and removal force of the card ejector levers is about 16 lbs (7.27 kg). To release the ejector
levers, push in the ejector lever release buttons.
Note Once any ejector lever release button is pushed in, the FC card must by physically removed and
reinserted (OIR) to restart the FC card.
Ethernet Line Cards
This set of line cards for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Routers is based on a single base card containing
the processors, fabric interface, power, and forwarding circuitry. Mounted on the base card are daughter
cards containing I/O circuitry.
