Installing an Interface Module
On RSP-1, Slot 2 Port 0 cannot be used for traffic flow on 8X1-G copper and 8X1-G SFP interface modules.
To identify Slot 2 on the Cisco ASR 902 Router, see the figure shown in the
page 36
section.
Note
Step 1
Before inserting an interface module, make sure that the chassis is grounded.
Step 2
To insert the interface module, carefully align the edges of the interface module between the upper and lower edges of
the router slot.
Step 3
Carefully slide the interface module into the router slot until the interface module makes contact with the backplane. The
figure below shows how to install the interface module.

Step 4
Tighten the locking thumbscrews on both sides of the interface module. The recommended maximum torque is 5.5 in.-lb
(.62 N-m).
Step 5
Connect all the cables to each interface module.
Do not use interface module or power supply ejector handles to lift the chassis; using these handles to lift the
chassis can deform or damage the handles.
Caution
Close all unused SFP ports using SFP dust caps to prevent dust from accumulating inside the cage. The dust
caps (Cisco part number A900-DCAP-SFP-S= (24 caps per package) or Cisco part number A900-DCAP-SFP-L=
(240 caps per package)) can be ordered from Cisco. For information on dust caps, see
Note
Close all unused RJ-45, SFP, XFP, and QSFP ports on the interface module using the appropriate dust caps to
prevent dust from accumulating inside the cage. For information on dust caps, see
