How to Remove or Install a Card Slide-Assistance Arm (Handle)
Prerequisites
Before performing this task, open the doors if they are installed and ensure that the slot in which you are
about to install the impedance carrier is empty. Depending on the slot in which you are installing an
impedance carrier, see the
“Removing an MSC, FP, or LSP” section on page 4-37
, the
“Removing a
PLIM” section on page 4-48
, or the
“Removing an RP or PRP Card” section on page 4-29
.
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools and part to perform this task:
•
ESD-preventive wrist strap
•
Number 1 Phillips screwdriver
•
Impedance carrier
–
SFC impedance carrier (Cisco product number: CRS-4-FC-BLANK)
–
MSC impedance carrier (Cisco product number: CRS-MSC-IMPEDANCE=)
–
PLIM impedance carrier (Cisco product number: CRS-INT-IMPEDANCE=)
–
RP impedance carrier (Cisco product number: CRS-RP-4-BLANK=)
Steps
To install an impedance carrier, follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the ESD connection
sockets on the front (PLIM) side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2
Use both hands while inserting an impedance carrier. Use one hand on the faceplate and the other hand
along the base of the impedance carrier to guide it into a slot.
Step 3
Slide the impedance carrier into the chassis until the captive screw plates are flush with the chassis.
Step 4
Partially tighten the two captive screws on the front panel of the impedance carrier (either by hand or
with the screwdriver) to make sure that they are both engaged.
Step 5
Use the screwdriver to fully tighten the captive screws to seat the impedance carrier firmly in the slot.

All line cards, PLIMs, and RPs are shipped with slide-assistance arms (sometimes called
handles
)
attached. SPAs, the SIP-800, and SFCs are not shipped with slide-assistance arms.
