Installing a SIP
Figure 59: SIP Removal and Installation
Caution
When you remove a SIP, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the SIP connector pins disconnect from
the backplane in the logical sequence expected by the router. Any SIP that is only partially connected to the
backplane can halt the router.
Step 5
Simultaneously pivot the ejector levers away from each other to release the SIP from the backplane connector.
Step 6
Grasp the ejector levers and pull the SIP halfway out of the slot.
Step 7
Grasp the SIP by the handle and gently pull it straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the SIP to guide it.
Avoid touching the SIP printed circuit board, components, or any connector pins.
Step 8
Place the removed SIP on an antistatic mat, or immediately place it in an antistatic bag if you plan to return it to the
factory.
Step 9
If the SIP slot is to remain empty, install a line card blank to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow
through the SIP compartment. Secure the line card blank to the chassis by tightening its captive screws.
Installing a SIP
A SIP slides into any available line card slot and connects directly to the backplane. If you install a new SIP,
you must first remove the line card blank from the available slot.
Note
Refer to Figure 2-6 Cisco ASR 9010 Router Components and Slot Numbering and Figure 2-7 Cisco ASR
9006 Router Components and Slot Numbering in the Unpacking and Installing the Chassis chapter of the
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Hardware Installation Guide for information on line
card slot types in order to determine an appropriate slot in which to install the SIP.
