rest in the socket at a different angle from the other, remove the DIMM and reinsert it. Replace the top chassis
cover, and reboot the system for another installation check.
After several attempts, if the system fails to restart properly, contact a Cisco service representative for

that might help solve the problem.

Removing and Replacing a Cisco ASR 1001-X Router SPA

The online insertion and removal (OIR) feature allows you to install and replace shared port adapters (SPAs)
while the router is operating, you do not have to shut down the system's power, although you should not run
traffic through the shared port adapter while it is being removed. OIR is a method that is seamless to end users
on the network, maintains all routing information, and preserves sessions.
Note As you disengage the SPA from the router, OIR shuts down all the active interfaces in the SPA.
For detailed information about SPA software commands, such as preparing for OIR of SPAs, and activating
Note
and deactivating configuration examples, see the
SIP and SPA Hardware Installation Guide
We suggest you have the following tools and parts readily available for installing a SPA:
• Number 2 Phillips or a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• SPA
• Cables
• Your own ESD-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all upgrade
• Antistatic mat or surface, or static shielding bag
If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.

Electrostatic Discharge Prevention

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages equipment and impairs electrical circuitry. ESD occurs when printed
circuit boards are improperly handled and results in complete or intermittent failures.
Each SPA circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to ESD damage. A SPA consists of a
printed circuit board that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, connectors,
and a handle are integral components of the carrier.
