Chapter - Cisco ASR 5000 Installation Manual

Adding Application and Line Cards to an Existing Installation
Step 8
Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to tighten the screws at the top and bottom of the application card's front panel to secure
the card to the chassis.
Step 9 Repeat step 1 through step 7 for every application card you are installing.
Step 10
Install blanking panels over any unused chassis slots.
To reduce the risk of electric shock and ensure proper ventilation, blanking panels must be used to cover any chassis
slot not occupied by an application card.

innerhalb des Geraets zu gewaehrleisten und um einen elektrischen Schlag zu vermeiden.
a) Position the blanking panel over the unused chassis slot(s).
b) Position the blanking panel over the unused chassis slot.
c) Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to tighten the screws at the top and bottom of the blanking panel to secure the panel to
the chassis.
d) Repeat step a through step c for any additional unused chassis slots.
Step 11 Proceed to the next sections of this chapter for instructions on adding the respective line card(s) for every application
card just installed.
Adding Half-Height Line Cards
This section provides instructions for adding half-height line cards to the chassis.
During installation, maintenance, and/or removal, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage to

the components. Failure to do so could result in damage to sensitive electronic components and potentially
void your warranty.
Step 1 Determine the type of line card you are installing. Each line card is identified by the label near the bottom of its front
panel.
Step 2 Determine which chassis slot to install the card in based on the information in
on page 176.
Step 3 Remove the blanking panel covering the slot:
a) Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to loosen the screws at the top and bottom of the blanking panel.
b) Hold the screws on the blanking panel, and pull the blanking panel away from the chassis to expose the chassis slot.
Caution Do not leave chassis slots uncovered for extended periods of time. This reduces airflow through the
chassis, which could cause it to overheat. Install a card or a blanking panel s in every chassis slot.
Step 4 Slide the interlock switch on the card fully downward. Flip the ejector levers outward and away from the card's front
panel.
Step 5 Hold the card by its ejector levers and align the card with the upper and lower card guides of the chassis slot. Gently
slide it into the slot until the levers touch the chassis frame.
