Installing and Configuring Processor Modules
Removing and Replacing the RP, SP or SSP, RSP7000, or RSP7000CI
The RP, SP (or SSP), RSP7000, and RSP7000CI do not support OIR, because they are all required
system components. Removing these boards without first shutting down the system will cause an
abrupt system shutdown and can damage or destroy memory files.
To remove or replace one of these processor modules, first shut down all system power, then follow
the procedures in the following sections, “Removing CxBus Interface Processors” and “Installing
CxBus Interface Processors.”
Caution Before removing the RP, SP or SSP, RSP7000, or RSP7000CI, make sure the system is
shut down and the power switch is OFF.
Removing CxBus Interface Processors
To remove a CxBus interface processor, follow these steps:
Step 1
If you will not immediately reinstall the interface processor you are removing, or if there is
not enough slack in the network interface cables to remove the interface processor without
straining the cables, disconnect any cables attached to the interface ports.
Step 2
You must pull processor modules straight out of the slot. Ensure that there are no
obstructions that will prevent you from doing so, such as a power strip on a rack post,
network connection devices attached to adjacent interface processors, or extensive cabling
in front of the processor slots.
Step 3
Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the both ends of the interface
processor. (See Figure 5-1a.)
Step 4
Place your thumbs on the ejector levers on both ends of the interface processor (see
Figure 5-1c) and simultaneously pull them both outward to release the interface processor
from the backplane connector.
Step 5
Grasp the interface processor handle with one hand and place your other hand under the
carrier to support it. Pull the interface processor straight out of the slot keeping it at a
90-degree orientation to the backplane. (See Figure 5-2.)
Step 6
Place the removed interface processor on an antistatic mat or immediately install it in
another slot.
Step 7
If the slot is to remain empty, install a blank interface processor filler (MAS-7KBLANK)
to keep dust out of the chassis, to maintain proper air flow through the interface processor
compartment, and to maintain the EMI integrity of the system.
Caution
Always install blank interface processor fillers in empty processor slots to maintain the
proper flow of cooling air through the chassis.
Caution
The RP, SP (or SSP), RSP7000, and RSP7000CI are required system components;
removing any of them without first shutting down the system will cause an abrupt system shutdown
and can damage or destroy memory files. To remove or replace them, first shutdown system power,
then follow removal and insertion procedures to ensure that the processor module is seated properly.
