Maintaining the Cisco12008 7-53
Removing and Replacing the RP
Step5 Using a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws at the
top and bottom of the RP faceplate (see Figure7-15a).
Step6 Place your thumbs on each of the ejector levers and simultaneously pivot them
away from the RP faceplate (see Figure7-15b). This action disengages the RP
from the backplane.
Step7 Grasp the RP faceplate with one hand and pull the RP straight out of the slot;
place your free hand beneath the RP to support its weight (see Figure7-15c).
Avoid touching the RP printed circuit board, its components, or its edge
connector pins.
Step8 Place the removed RP on an antistatic mat or foam pad.
If you plan to return the RP to the factory for repair or replacement, immediately place it in
an antistatic bag for ESD protection.
