Chapter 4 Installing and Removing SFCs, RPs, MSCs, PLIMs, and Associated Components
How to Install or Remove a Modular Services Card
Note Modular services cards have guide pins that make initial contact with the midplane connector as you slide a card into its slot.
Step 11 To fully seat the card in the midplane connector, grasp both card ejector levers simultaneously, then push them both inward until they are flush against the front edge of the card carrier. After the guide pins make contact, continue pushing the card carrier until the card ejector levers begin pivoting forward.
Caution Verify that the openings on the card ejector cams pass over the tabs; otherwise, one or both ejector levers may bind when you attempt to close the levers, thereby damaging or breaking one or both of them.
Step 12 To ensure proper EMI shielding and prevent the MSC from becoming partially dislodged from the midplane, use a screwdriver to fully tighten the captive screws next to each MSC ejector lever.
Caution To ensure adequate space for additional MSCs, always tighten the captive installation screws on each newly installed MSC before you insert another MSC. These captive screws also prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding and EMI shielding for the system.
What to Do Next
After performing this task:
•Place the impedance carrier in an antistatic bag for storage and future use.
•Verify that the card has been installed properly (see the “Verifying the Installation of an MSC” section on page
•If you are performing the initial installation of the system, install the PLIMs (see the “How to Install or Remove a Physical Layer Interface Module” section on page
Removing an MSC
This section describes how to remove an MSC from the Cisco
The MSC is a Layer 3 forwarding engine in the Cisco
An MSC fits into any available MSC slot and connects directly to the midplane.
