Removing An Rsp Module - Cisco ASR 907 Hardware Installation Manual

Installing the Cisco ASR 907 Router
Note 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

When installing the cabling to an RSP, we recommend that you leave a service loop of extra cabling sufficient

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.
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when

or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
To remove an RSP module, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Disconnect any cables attached to the ports on the module.
Step 2 Verify that the captive installation screws on all the modules in the chassis are tight. This step ensures that the space
created by the removed module is maintained.
If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules
Note
toward the open slot, which in turn reduces the size of the opening and makes it difficult to remove the module.
Step 3 Loosen the two captive installation screws on the module you plan to remove from the chassis.
Step 4 Place your thumbs on the ejector levers (see ) and simultaneously rotate the ejector levers outward to unseat the module
from the backplane connector.
Step 5
Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module straight out of the slot. If the chassis has horizontal slots, place
your hand under the module to support its weight as you slide it out from the slot. Do not touch the module circuitry.
To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.
Caution
Step 6
Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall the module in another slot.
Step 7 Install blank module filler plates (Cisco part number A90X-RSPA-BLANK-W) in empty slots, if any.
