Installing Rsp Cards In The Chassis - Cisco ASR 9000 Series Installation Manual

Installing RSP Cards in the Chassis

Caution
To avoid damaging card mechanical components, never carry an RSP card, RP card, FC, or LC by the captive
installation screws or ejector levers. Doing so can damage these components and cause card insertion problems.
Caution
Be sure to always tighten the captive installation screws on the RSP card, RP card, FC, or LC. Failure to
tighten the screws can cause boot failure or prevent proper router operation.
Installing RSP Cards in the Chassis
Follow these steps to reinstall RSP cards into the chassis (See the
the Cisco ASR 9006, 9010, 9904, 9906, and 9910 Routers
Procedure
Step 1
Starting at slot RSP0, slide the card into the slot.
Step 2 Pivot the ejector levers to seat the card to the backplane connector.

Do not apply excessive force to the RSP card to seat it. When seated, the RSP card ejector levers
are angled slightly outward from the card faceplate (item 1 in the following figure). When the captive
installation screws are fully tightened, the ejector levers are parallel to the card faceplate (item 2 in
the following figure). Some flexing in the backplane is normal. When you push the ejector levers
fully vertical, the card is seated in the backplane connectors. However, when you release the levers,
backplane flexing pushes the levers out, so the levers may be slightly loose. Tightening the captive
installation screws prevents any additional movement from flexing of the backplane.
