Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco uBR10012 Router
Installing the Modules
Also, do not attempt to remove the Cisco MC28C card or the Cisco MC16x card from their carriers
(adapter cards) while the they are installed in the chassis. See the
“Removing and Replacing a Cable
Interface Line Card” section on page 5-41
for information on this procedure.
Step 1
Grasp the faceplate of the first line card with one hand and place your other hand under the card carrier
(to support the weight of the card) and position the card in front of the appropriate card cage slot.
Step 2
Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the line card with the upper and lower guides in the chassis,
and slide the cable interface line card into the slot until you can feel it begin to seat in the backplane
connectors (
Figure 3-25
).
Step 3
Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel to the faceplate) to
firmly seat the card in the backplane (
Figure 3-26
).
Step 4
Finger tighten the captive screws to secure the card in the chassis.
Caution
Do not tighten the captive screws until
after
you insert all the additional cards. Tightening the captive
screws before all the line cards are installed, can cause the installation slot for the last line card to be
restricted and make it difficult to install the card.
Step 5
Repeat
Step 1
through
Step 4
for each cable interface line card and network uplink card.
Step 6
After all the line cards and network uplink cards are inserted, tighten the captive screws. (Torque 5 to
7 in-lbs.)
Tip
T
ighten line card 1, then tighten line card 8, tighten line card 2 then line card 7. Alternate back
and forth between the line cards until all of them are secure in the chassis.
Tip
These screws prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding for electromagnetic
interference (EMI) shielding.
