Removing Cards From The Chassis - Cisco ASR 9000 Series Installation Manual

Removing Cards from the Chassis

Caution
Handle all cards by the metal card carrier edges only; avoid touching the board or any connector pins. After
removing a card, carefully place it in an antistatic bag or similar environment to protect it from ESD and dust
in the optic ports (fiber-optic line cards).
Caution Be careful to avoid damaging the EMI gasket that runs along the full height of the card front panel edges.
Damage to the EMI gasket can affect the ability of your system to meet EMI requirements.
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.
Note
The BPID board monitors OIR by counting the number of card insertions for each slot and saving that
information in non-volatile memory. OIR monitoring is done for all line cards, the RSP, the RP, and the fan
trays. See
