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 5-23 a).
b. Pivot the ejector levers to unseat the card from the backplane connector
(
Figure 5-23 b.)
c. Slide the card out of the slot ( Figure 5-23 c) 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.
