Removing Cards from the Chassis
To reduce additional weight from the chassis, you can remove all Route Switch Processor (RSP), Route
Processor (RP), Switch Fabric Card (FC), shared port adapter (SPA), SPA interface processor (SIP), and line
cards (LCs).
This section describes how to remove the RSP cards, RP cards, FCs, and LCs. For information about removing
SPA and SIP cards, see:
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router SIP and SPA Hardware Installation Guide
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 electromagnetic interference (EMI) gasket that runs along the full height of
the card front panel edge. 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 a card by the captive installation screws or
ejector levers. Doing so can damage these components and cause card insertion problems.
