Installing a Cable Interface Line Card in the Adapter Card

Step 1 Using the handle on the new or replacement Cisco MCxx card, align the holes in the L-brackets with the screws on the adapter card.See Figure 5-59.

Step 2 Align the Cisco MCxx card with the guide rails in the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card, and ensure that the Cisco MCxx card’s sheet metal is flush with the sheet metal on the bottom of the adapter card (the Cisco MCxx card should slide under the spring guides and not over them).

Step 3 Slide the Cisco MCxx card into the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card slowly, making sure that the Cisco MCxx card is sliding under the spring guides. Also verify that its power connectors are aligned with those on the adapter card. Continue slowly pushing until the connectors on the Cisco MCxx card are firmly connected to the connectors on the adapter card. The ejector levers on each side of the card should snap into place when the card is fully inserted.

Note Make sure that the screws on the adapter card brackets slide cleanly into the holes in the L-brackets. These brackets help to align the adapter card and cable interface line card connectors and hold the cable interface line card in place.

Step 4 Tighten the captive screws on the Cisco MCxx card to secure it to the Cisco uBR10-LCP2 adapter card.

Step 5 Reattach the retaining washers and screws on the L-brackets on the Cisco MCxx card. Make sure they are finger-tight, and then turn them a half-turn with a wrench to secure them and the card in place.

Step 6 Reinsert the Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MCxx cable interface line card, as described in the “Removing and Replacing a Cable Interface Line Card” section on page 5-60.

Step 7 Connect all downstream and upstream coaxial cables to the cable interface line card as necessary.

Step 8 Configure the cable interface line card if necessary (see the Cisco uBR10012 Software Configuration Guide for information about configuring the line card).

Note It is not necessary to configure the cable interface line card if you are installing a replacement card in the same slot. The system automatically downloads the necessary configuration information from the PRE.
