Installing the Cisco ASR 907 Router
Procedure
Step 1
Choose a slot for the module. Make sure that there is enough clearance to accommodate any equipment that
will be connected to the ports on the module. If a blank module filler plate is installed in the slot in which you
plan to install the module, remove the plate by removing its 2 Phillips pan-head screws.
Step 2 Fully open both the ejector levers on the new module, as shown in the figure below.
Caution
Step 3 Position the module in the slot. Make sure that you align the sides of the module with the guides on each side
of the slot, as shown in the figure below.

Step 4
Carefully slide the module into the slot until the EMI gasket on the module makes contact with the module
in the adjacent slot and both the ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the
module faceplate.
Caution
Step 5 While pressing down, simultaneously close both the ejector levers to fully seat the module in the backplane
connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate.
Step 6 Tighten the two captive installation screws on the module. The recommended maximum torque is 5.5 in.-lb
(.62 N-m).
Note
Step 7
Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all of the modules installed in the chassis. This
step ensures that the EMI gaskets on all the modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening
space for the new or replacement module.
Note
To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by carrier edges only.
If the top slot already has an RSP module installed, and you install a second RSP module in the slot
below it, be careful not to damage the EMI gasket of the bottom RSP module against the ejector
levers of the top RSP during insertion.
Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.
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.
