Removing an RSP Module
Step 4
Carefully slide the module into the slot until the EMI gasket on the module makes contact with the module
in the adjacent slot and both the ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the
module faceplate.
Caution
Step 5
While pressing down, simultaneously close both the ejector levers to fully seat the module in the backplane
connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate.
Step 6
Tighten the two captive installation screws on the module. The recommended maximum torque is 5.5 in.-lb
(.62 N-m).
Note
Step 7
Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all of the modules installed in the chassis. This
step ensures that the EMI gaskets on all the modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening
space for the new or replacement module.

Removing an RSP Module
Before you remove an RSP from the router, you must save the current configuration on a TFTP server or an
external USB flash drive, using the copy running-config {ftp | tftp | bootflash:} command. This saves you
time when bringing the module back online.
If the module is running Cisco IOS software, save the current running configuration by entering the copy
running-config startup-config command.
To remove an RSP module, perform the following steps:
Procedure
Step 1
Disconnect any cables attached to the ports on the module.
Step 2
Verify that the captive installation screws on neighboring modules in the chassis are tight. This step ensures
that the space created by the removed module is maintained.
Note
Step 3
Loosen the two captive installation screws on the module you plan to remove from the chassis.

If the top slot already has an RSP module installed, and you install a second RSP module in the slot
below it, be careful not to damage the EMI gasket of the bottom RSP module against the ejector
levers of the top RSP during insertion.
Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.
If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push
adjacent modules toward the open slot, which reduces the size of the opening and makes it difficult
to install the new module.
Blank module filler plates (Cisco part number A90X-RSPA-BLANK-W) should be installed in any
empty chassis slots to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain consistent airflow through the
chassis.
When installing the cabling to an RSP, we recommend that you leave a service loop of extra cabling
sufficient to allow for fan tray removal.
If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules push the
modules toward the open slot, which in turn reduces the size of the opening and makes it difficult
to remove the module.
