Replacing an NSP Module
Removing the NSP Module
To remove an NSP module:
Attach a ground strap to your wrist.
Step 1
Step 2 Unscrew the upper and lower retaining screws.
Step 3 Disconnect any cables connected to the NSP module that you are about to remove.
Step 4 Grasp the upper and lower extraction levers. Pull up on the upper lever while pushing down on the
lower lever. This action disengages the module from the connectors on the backplane.
Step 5 Slide the NSP module out of the slot.
Step 6 Place the NSP module on an antistatic surface. If the module will be out of the chassis for several
minutes or longer, put it in a static-shielding bag or in a box lined with antistatic material.
Step 7 Install another NSP module or a blank faceplate in the empty slot.
Blank faceplates (filler panels) serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to

hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they reduce electromagnetic interference
(EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the
chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards and faceplates are in place. Translations of
this warning can be found in the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that
accompanied this device.
Installing the NSP Module
The NSP module can be inserted only in slot 0A or 0B. To install an NSP module in the Cisco 6400
chassis:
Step 1 Remove the blank filler panel from the selected slot, if a blank panel is present.
Step 2 Hold the NSP module vertically, with the NSP faceplate toward you and the backplane connectors away
from you. Ensure that the module is right side up by noting the lettering on the faceplate.
Step 3 Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the NSP carrier with the upper and lower guides in the
chassis
