Chapter 5 Maintaining the Router
Removing and Replacing an RP or a Line Card
Step 6 Grasp the edges of the card carrier with both hand to support it and remove the
card.
Caution Remove each RP or line card completely from the slots. A card left
partially inserted into the slot can damage the EMI shielding on card in
the slot directly below.
• Immediately place the RP or line card in an antistatic bag to protect it against
ESD and to prevent dust from getting to the fiber-optic connectors on
fiber-optic line cards.
• If you plan to return the defective unit to the factory, repackage it in the
shipping container you received with the replacement RP or line card.
Step 7 Remove the RP or line card from its shipping package and antistatic bag.
Caution Handle the RPs and line cards by the metal card carrier edges only;
avoid touching the board itself or any connector pins.
Step 8 Seat the RP or line card:
a. Set both edges of the RP or line card into the card slot and partially slide the
card into the chassis.
b. Pivot the ejector levers away from each other by rotating each ejector lever
outward away from the faceplate.
c. Continue sliding the card into the slot until the ejector levers make contact
with the front of the card cage, then stop.
d. Seat the card by grasping each ejector levers and simultaneously pivot them
toward the card faceplate.
Note The line card will not boot properly if not fully seated.
