Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco XR 12410 Router

Removing Cards from the Chassis

Removing Cards from the Chassis

To reduce additional weight from the chassis, you can remove all line cards, RPs, switch fabrics, and alarm cards. This section describes how to remove the various types of cards.

Removing Cards from the Line Card and RP Card Cage

The line card and RP card cage contains 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.

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 line cards and RPs from of the chassis.

Step 1 Proceeding from left to right, identify each card and write down the card type and slot number on a piece of paper (Figure 3-7).

Note You will need this information when you reinstall the cards in the chassis to be sure you install them in the same card slots.
