Cisco Systems Cisco 12008 manual Removing and Replacing the RP

Removing and Replacing the RP

Step 5 Using a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws at the top and bottom of the RP faceplate (see Figure 7-15a).

Step 6 Place your thumbs on each of the ejector levers and simultaneously pivot them away from the RP faceplate (see Figure 7-15b). This action disengages the RP from the backplane.

Step 7 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 Figure 7-15c). Avoid touching the RP printed circuit board, its components, or its edge connector pins.

Step 8 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.
