Step 3
Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the front panel to a torque of 10 +/–1 in-lb.
Step 4
Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to install the second RP card into slot RP1.
Even when the RP card is fully seated with installation screws fully tightened, there may be a slight
gap between the card and the chassis (item 3 in the above figure ).
Note
Installing Fabric Cards in the Cisco ASR 9912 and 9922 Router Chassis
Follow these steps to reinstall fabric cards (FCs) into the Cisco ASR 9922 Router (see
9922 Router Components and Slot Numbering with Version 2 DC Power System
for slot numbering) and
Cisco ASR 9912 Router (see
Figure 104: Cisco ASR 9912 Router Components and Slot Numbering with
for slot numbering).
Procedure
Step 1
Starting at slot FC0, slide the card into the slot.
Step 2
Pivot the ejector levers to seat the card to the backplane connector.
Do not apply excessive force to the FC to seat it. When seated, the FC ejector levers are angled
slightly outward from the card faceplate (item 1 in the following figure). When the captive installation
screws are fully tightened, the ejector levers are parallel to the card faceplate (item 2 in the following
figure). Some flexing in the backplane is normal. When you push the ejector levers fully vertical,
the card is seated in the backplane connectors. However, when you release the levers, backplane
flexing pushes the levers out, so the levers may be slightly loose. Tightening the captive installation
screws prevents any additional movement from flexing of the backplane.
