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.
Step1 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.
Step2 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 Figure7-19).
Step3 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
Figure7-19).
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.
