Installing an FP
Install an FP into an empty slot on a Passport shelf to enable a switch to
provide configured services, or to resume backing up the active FP.
Prerequisites
• You must be familiar with “Safety considerations and best practices”
(page 53).
• The list of FPs supported by this procedure are in the chapter “Field
replaceable units” in 241-1501-200 Passport 15000, 20000 Hardware
Description.
Procedure steps
1 If there is a blank processor card in the slot where the FP is to be installed,
remove it according to “Removing a blank processor card” (page 662).
2 At the ends of the faceplate, swing each latch fully open by pinching the
inner edge of the latch and lifting away from the faceplate. Refer to the
figure “Open card latches on a CP, FP, or blank processor card”
(page 576).
3 While holding the FP by its edges with the latches on the right side of the
faceplate, align the end with the pins to the channels in the slot. Avoid
touching anything on the FP.
4 Gently slide the FP into the slot until the FP stops moving. There are
keyways and guide pins to ensure that the FP aligns with the connections
at the backplane (inside at the rear of the shelf). If you feel resistance, do
not force the FP in. Remove it, and check the backplane at the rear of the
slot for bent pins. You may need a flashlight to see into the slot. If no pins
are bent, re-seat the FP. If any pin is bent, do not insert an FP and contact
your technical support representative of Nortel Networks.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to equipment from software
An incompatible software load can damage an FP beyond
a field repair. Ensure that the software running on the
switch meets the minimum software requirement for a
replacement FP. For information on minimum software
requirements see 241-5701-615 Passport 7400, 15000,
20000 FP Configuration Reference.
