Transferring RP and Line Cards
You must remove the line cards and RPs from the RP and line card cage so that
you can install them in the card cage in the replacement chassis.
Caution
One edge of the card carrier faceplate is lined with an EMI-preventive gasket
consisting of many raised, conductive contacts. Be careful not to damage the
gasket contacts, because a damaged card carrier gasket can result in reduced
EMI performance.
Caution
You must remove any card slot blanks installed in the card cage and transfer them
to the same card slots in the replacement chassis. Card slot blanks must be
installed in slots without cards to maintain proper air flow and for
EMI performance.
Note
RP and line card captive screws must be tightened on the replacement chassis to
ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC)
Remove each line card in the card cage as instructed in the
Replacing an RP or Line Card” section on page 5-31
.
As you remove each line card, transfer it to the same card slot in the replacement
chassis. You must install the line cards in the same slots in the replacement chassis
to match the router’s existing software configuration. Reinstall the line cards as
instructed in the
“Installing a Route Processor or Line Card” section on page 5-34
Note
You must install the RP in the same slot in the replacement chassis to match the
router’s existing software configuration.
After removing the RP, transfer it to the same card slot in the replacement chassis.
Reinstall the RP as instructed in the
“Installing a Route Processor or Line Card”
