Removing and Replacing Cards from the Chassis

Removing and Replacing Cards from the Line Card and RP Card Cage

This section describes the procedures for removing and installing a router processor (RP) card or a line card. The line card and RP card cage has 10 slots (numbered 0 through 9, from left to right). Line cards are installed in slots 0 through 7; RPs are installed in slots 8 and 9 (see Figure 5-22).

Caution Handle all cards by the metal card carrier edges only; avoid touching the board or any connector pins. After removing a card, carefully place it in an antistatic bag or similar environment to protect it from ESD and dust in the optic ports (fiber-optic line cards).

Use the following procedure to remove and replace a line card or RP from the card cage:

Step 1 Disconnect any cables from the card.

Step 2 Remove the card:

a.Loosen the captive screws at the top and bottom of the front panel (Figure 5-23a).

b.Pivot the ejector levers to unseat the card from the backplane connector (Figure 5-23b.)

c.Slide the card out of the slot (Figure 5-23c) and place it directly into an antistatic bag or other ESD-preventive container.

Step 3 Replace the card by reversing the procedures in Steps 1 and 2.
