Installing the RSP8

Figure 4 Handling the RSP8 During Removal and Installation

H1355a

Caution To prevent damage to the backplane, you must install the RSP8 in one of the two RSP slots on the router. The slots are keyed for correct installation. Forcing the RSP8 into a different slot can damage the backplane and the RSP8.

Step 3 While keeping the RSP8 parallel to the backplane, carefully slide the carrier into the slot until the RSP8 faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, and then stop. (See Figure 3b.)

Step 4 Using the thumb and forefinger of each hand to pinch each ejector lever, simultaneously push both ejector levers inward (toward the handle) until they are parallel to the faceplate. (See Figure 3c.)

Step 5 Use a screwdriver to tighten the captive installation screws on the ends of the RSP8. (See Figure 3a)

Step 6 Use a screwdriver to tighten the two captive installation screws on the RSP8 faceplate to prevent the RSP8 from becoming partially dislodged from the backplane and to ensure proper EMI shielding. (These screws must be tightened to meet EMI specifications.)

Step 7 If you disconnected the console terminal to remove the RSP8, or if you are installing a new RSP8, connect the console terminal to the console port. (See the “Connecting a Console Terminal” section on page 20.)

Step 8 Ensure that a console terminal is connected (see the “Connecting a Console Terminal” section on page 20) and that it is turned on.

Step 9 Turn the system power back on, and proceed to the “Restarting the System” section on page 21 to check the installation.

This completes the procedure for replacing the RSP8.
