Electrostatic Discharge Prevention - Cisco ASR 1013 Hardware Installation Manual

Electrostatic Discharge Prevention

The embedded shared port adapter interface processor (SIP) on the Cisco ASR 1002 Router and Cisco
Note
ASR 1002-F Router do not support online insertion and removal. However, the SPAs on the Cisco embedded
services processors do support online insertion and removal.
When removing or replacing SPAs, make certain that all the screw fasteners on each card and each SIP
Caution
are screwed in tightly to prevent accidental removal of another card. Each SIP has two screw fasteners
per slot and each SPA has two screw fasteners.
We suggest you have the following tools and parts readily available for installation of the SIPs and SPAs:
• Number 2 Phillips or a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• Shared port adapter interface processor (SIP)
• Shared port adapters (SPAs)
• 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 electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
The SIP and SPAs consist 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.
When a subslot is not in use, a SPA blank filler plate must fill the empty subslot to allow the router to conform
to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the installed
modules. If you plan to install a SPA in a subslot that is not in use, you must first remove the SPA blank filler
plate.
