Removing The Im Center Brackets - Cisco NCS 560-4 Hardware Installation Manual

Installing the Cisco NCS 560-4 Router
Step 4
Loosen the two captive installation screws on the module you plan to remove from the chassis.
Step 5 Place your thumbs on the ejector levers (see ) and simultaneously rotate the ejector levers outward to unseat
the module from the backplane connector.
Step 6
Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module straight out of the slot. If the chassis has horizontal
slots, place your hand under the module to support its weight as you slide it out from the slot. Do not touch
the module circuitry.
Caution
Step 7
Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall the module in another slot.
Step 8 Install blank module filler plates (Cisco part number N560-4-RSP-BLANK) in empty slots, if any.
Warning

Removing the IM Center Brackets

The IM center brackets are already installed in the chassis. They allow for installing two interface modules
of half-width side-by-side. By removing the IM center bracket, full-width Interface Modules with higher
capacity and interface density can be installed in the chassis.
Procedure
Step 1 Slip on the ESD-preventive wrist strap that was included in the accessory kit.
Step 2
Grasp the IM center bracket from its sides and slide it straight out of its slot.
To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous
voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain 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, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
