Chapter 5 Maintaining the Router

Removing and Replacing an RP or a Line Card

Use the following procedure to remove and replace an RP or line card.

Step 1 Identify the RP or line card to be replaced and write down the following information:

•The RP cable connections on the RP.

•The number and type of RP or line card, so that you will know the location of the card when you re-install it or the replacement, in the card cage.

•The network interface cable connection ports, on the RP or line card.

Step 2 On cards with multiple ports, start with the left port on the card and disconnect the interface cable connectors from each of the ports.

Step 3 After all the interface cables are disconnected, loosen the two captive screws on the cable-management bracket and pull the bracket away from the card.

Step 4 Loosen the two ejector lever captive screws at each end of the line card faceplate.
