Removing and Replacing an RP or Line Card
Connecting RP and Line Card Cables
When you replace an existing RP or line card in the RP and line card cage, you
must re-attach the line card cable management bracket to the RP or line card
faceplate and reconnect the network interface cables to the replacement RP or line
card.
If you have added a new RP or line card, you must connect the network interface
cables to the RP or line card.
Note
If a line card slot in the card cage is not populated with a line card, a blank line
card must be installed to avoid an over temperature condition and to ensure
electromagnetic compliance (EMC).
To reconnect network interface cables to a replacement RP or line card in the card
cage follow these steps:
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist and to the chassis; or to a bare metal
surface.
Step 2
Attach an appropriate number of velcro straps to support the interface cables,
through the slots in the cable management bracket (
).
