Removing and Replacing Switch Cards

Installing a CSC

To install a CSC in the router, perform the following steps.

Note Before accessing any of the router’s internal components, put on an antistatic wrist strap and make sure that it makes ample contact with your skin. Insert the equipment end of the wrist strap (the banana jack) into the ESD socket in the lower left corner of the upper card cage.

Step 1 With one hand, grasp the new CSC by its faceplate; support the weight of the card by placing your free hand beneath the card carrier.

Step 2 Position the card vertically and insert it into the vacant slot in the upper card cage until the card’s ejector levers meet the retention lips at the top and bottom of the enclosure (see Figure 7-19).

Step 3 Pivot the ejector levers toward the card faceplate to engage the retention lips at the top and bottom of the enclosure and firmly seat the card in the backplane (see Figure 7-19).

This completes the procedure for removing and installing a CSC.

To verify that the new CSC is operating properly, perform the procedure in the following section.
