The PTX10004 modular chassis can house one or two Routing and Control Boards (RCBs), depending on
the configuration. You can install RCBs in either of the two top slots on the front of the chassis. After the
hot insertion, the RCB powers up and comes online. In a single RCB system, the RCB comes online as the
primary and restarts the line cards and the switch fabric. In a dual RCB system, the RCB powers up and
comes online in the backup mode. To install or remove an RCB, read the following sections.
How to Hold a Routing and Control Board
Pay proper attention to the way you are holding an RCB. An RCB is installed horizontally, and it is best to
hold it by the sides of the unit when it isn't in the chassis.
To handle and store an RCB properly:
1. Orient the RCB so that the faceplate is toward you.
2. Grasp each side of the unit firmly as you slide the unit out of the chassis.
3. Take care not to strike the unit against any object as you carry it.
CAUTION:
and the RCB will not seat properly if the connector is damaged.
4. If you must rest an RCB on an edge, place a cushion between the edge and the surface.
Never hold the RCB by the connector edge. The connectors are fragile
