Removing a Module
To remove a module:
Caution: If you do not use the halt command before removing or powering down
an SRP, the system’s NVS card may become corrupted.
1Enter the halt command.
See ERX System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, Managing
Line Modules and SRP Modules for informa tion about t he halt
command.
Caution: When handling modules, use an antistatic wrist strap connected to the
ERX system’s ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protect the module from
damage by electrostatic discharge.
2Connect the antistatic wrist strap to the ESD grounding jack on your
ERX system.
3Use a screwdriver to loosen the thumb screws located at the top and
bottom of the module panel, as shown in Figure 3-5.
4Raise the ejector handles located at the top and bottom of the
module so that they are in position 2, as shown in Figure 3-7.
Caution: Always handle the module by its edges. Do not touch the components,
pins, leads, or solder connections.
5Carefully slide the module out of the chassis, as shown in Figure 3-9.
6Place the module in its antistatic bag.
7Cover the empty chassis slot with a blank faceplate. Tighten the
faceplate’s top and bottom captive screws using a Phillips
screwdriver, as shown in Figure3-10. Turn both screws several times
before tightening them completely.
