Replace Chassis Components
Figure 71: Remove Route Processor Card from Chassis
g) Pull to rotate the levers away from the front of the card (see Callout 2 in the above figure)
The card unseats its connectors from the midplane and moves slightly out of the chassis.
h) Use one hand to hold the front of the card, place your other hand under the card to support its weight, pull
the card out of the chassis, and set it on an antistatic surface or inside an antistatic bag.
Note
Step 4
To install a new card, follow these steps:
a) If any of the ejector levers are in closed position slide the latch on the ejector lever outwards from the
lever center and pull to rotate the lever away from the front of the card.
This action opens the lever so that the card can be fully inserted into the slot.
b) Hold the front of the card with one hand and place your other hand under the card to support its weight.
c) Align the back of the card to the guides in the open Route Processor slot and slide the card all the way
into the slot.
The card stops when its front is about 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) outside the front of the chassis.
While performing OIR of the card, wait for 30 seconds before inserting the same or new card
in the same slot. This will allow the card to boot properly and reach operational state.
