Handling Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus Line Cards

Each Cisco 7600 Series ES+ line card circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Before you begin installation, read Chapter 3, “Preparing to Install a Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus Line Card,” for a list of parts and tools required for installation.

Caution Always handle the Cisco 7600 Series ES+ line card by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the line card components or connector pins. (See Figure 4-1.)

When a slot is not in use, a blank filler plate must be installed in the empty slot to allow the router or switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the installed modules. If you plan to install a Cisco 7600 Series ES+ line card in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove the blank filler plate.
