Removing an RP or Line Card from the Card Cage
Installing a Route Processor or Line Card
This section contains the procedure to install an RP or line card in the card cage.
Note
Installing a card in slot 1 when all other slots are filled may require additional
effort to properly seat the card. Because of the tight fit you have to either apply
extra pressure to properly seat the card, or you can remove the card in slot 2 before
installing the card in slot 1. After you install the card in slot 1 you can reinstall
the card in slot 2.
To replace an RP or line card follow the steps in this procedure.
Step 1
Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist or ankle; and attach the ESD clip to
the chassis or to a bare metal surface.
Step 2
Check your notes on the slot assignment and network interface cable information
that you wrote down before removing the other RP or line card.
Caution
Handle the RPs and line cards by the metal card carrier edges only; avoid touching
the board itself or any connector pins.
Step 3
Remove the RP or line card from its shipping package and antistatic bag.
