Step 3
Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the front panel to a torque of 10 +/–1 in-lb.
Even when the FC 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).

Step 4
Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 to install the remaining FCs into slots FC2, FC4, FC1, and FC3.
Installing Line Cards in the Chassis
Before you begin reinstalling cards in the card cage, identify slot assignments by referring to the written list
you prepared when you removed the cards (see the
Removing RSP Cards and Line Cards from the Cisco ASR
9006, 9010, 9904, 9906, and 9910 Routers
section for slot numbering).
Be careful to avoid damaging the EMI gasket that runs along the full height of the card front panel edges.
Damage to the EMI gasket can affect the ability of your system to meet EMI requirements.
Caution
Follow these steps to reinstall line cards in the chassis card cage:
Procedure
Step 1
Starting at the lowest numbered line card slot, slide the card into the slot (see the figure below,
Installing a Line Card into the Cisco ASR 9006 Router Chassis , on page 175
, or
Card into the Cisco ASR 9912 Router Chassis , on page 180
or
Figure 181: Installing a Line Card into the
Cisco ASR 9922 Router Chassis , on page 179
) until it mates with the backplane connector.
Step 2
Pivot the ejector levers to seat the card into the backplane connector.
Step 3
Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the front panel to a torque of 10 +/–1 in-lb.
