Chapter 6 Maintaining the Router

Removing and Installing the Chassis

Transferring RP and Line Cards

You must remove the line cards and RP(s) from the line card and RP card cage, then install them in the card cage in the replacement chassis. Card slot blanks must be installed in slots without cards to maintain proper air flow and for EMI performance. RP and line card captive screws must be tightened on the replacement chassis to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC).

Caution One edge of the card carrier faceplate is lined with an EMI-preventive gasket consisting of many raised, conductive contacts. Be careful not to damage the gasket contacts, because a damaged card carrier gasket can reduce EMI performance.

Remove each line card in the card cage as instructed in the “Removing an RP or Line Card” section on page 6-48.

Note To match the router’s existing software configuration, each card you remove from the defective chassis must be installed in the same slot in the replacement chassis.

Install the line cards as instructed in the “Installing an RP or Line Card” section on page 6-50.

After removing the RP, transfer it to the same card slot in the replacement chassis. Reinstall the RP as instructed in the “Installing an RP or Line Card” section on page 6-50.

Transferring the Clock and Scheduler, Switch Fabric, and Alarm Cards

Remove the two CSCs, three SFCs, and two alarm cards from their slots one at a time and install them in the same slots in the replacement chassis.

Note As you install a CSC, an SFC, or an alarm card in the replacement chassis, tighten the captive screws on the card to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC).
