PLIM or SIP Installation and Removal
To install a PLIM or SIP, see
Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap and follow its instructions for use.
Step 1
Remove the PLIM or SIP from its antistatic packaging.
Step 2
Remove the PLIM or PLIM impedance carrier from the slot you need to fill and set it aside.
Step 3
Note
Grasp one of the septums that separate the SPA slots or one of the ejector levers with one hand and place
Step 4
your other hand under the SIP to support and guide it into the correct slot. Slide the card halfway into
the correct slot. Avoid touching the card circuitry or any connectors.
Pivot both card ejector levers so the openings on the card ejector cams at the top and bottom of the PLIM
Step 5
or SIP pass over the tabs on each side of the card cage slot.
Caution
Continue sliding the PLIM or SIP into the card cage slot until the openings on the card ejector cams
Step 6
engage the tabs on each side of the card cage slot.
Note
To seat the card in the midplane connector, grasp both card ejector levers and pivot them inward toward
Step 7
the handle in the card carrier until they are flush against the front edge of the card carrier.
Engage both captive screws on the PLIM, and then tighten the screws. Tighten the locking thumbscrews
Step 8
on both sides of the SIP to a torque of between 8.3 and 11 inch-pounds (94 to 124 N-cm). Do not
overtighten.
Caution
Caution
Install the SPAs into the Cisco ASR14K-20XGE-FL SIP. See the

Remove only one PLIM impedance carrier and install one SIP at a time. Be sure to verify that
each SIP is fully installed and secured before installing another card.
Verify that the openings on the card ejector cams pass over the tabs; otherwise, one or both
ejector levers might bind when you attempt to close the ejector levers, thereby damaging or
breaking one or both ejector levers.
Guide pins make initial contact with the backplane connector as you slide a PLIM or SIP into its
slot. After the guide pins make contact, continue pushing on the PLIM or SIP until the card
ejector levers begin pivoting forward, toward the front panel on the PLIM or SIP.
Be sure to engage both captive screws on the PLIM or SIP before you begin to tighten the
screws; otherwise, the PLIM or SIP might not seat properly.
To ensure adequate space for additional PLIMs or SIPs, always tighten the captive screws on
each newly installed PLIM or SIP before you insert another one. These screws also prevent
accidental removal and provide proper grounding and EMI shielding for the system.
