Removing an RSP Module
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
Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.
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.
If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules
Note
toward the open slot, which reduces the size of the opening and makes it difficult to install the new module.
Caution
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.
Note
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.
Removing an RSP Module
Before you remove an RSP from the router, you should 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.
Warning
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when
servicing. Statement 1034
Warning
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams
or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
