Installing and Removing Line Cards, PLIMs, and Associated Components
Note A chassis may not be populated with a mix of RP and PRP cards. Both route processor cards should be of the
same type (RP or PRP).

Prerequisites

Because chassis operation may be impacted by the installation of a route processor card, perform these tasks
only if one of the following conditions exists:
• When you are certain that the second RP in the chassis is operational and, if not already the master RP,
• When the chassis is undergoing scheduled maintenance
• When the LCC is powered down
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in interruptions in data communications and network connectivity.
Before performing this task, open the cosmetic doors (if installed).

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and part to perform this task:
• ESD-preventive wrist strap
• Large Phillips screwdriver
• RP, PRP, or DRP card:

Steps

To install an RP, PRP, or DRP card, follow these steps:

• PRP card—Cisco product number: CRS-16-PRP-12G=
• DRP card—Cisco product number: CRS-DRP-CPU=
Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the ESD connection
sockets on the front (PLIM) side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Remove the card from its antistatic packaging.
Identify the card to be replaced in the card cage. Remove any cables connected to the front panel of the
RP card.
Use the screwdriver to turn the two captive screws on the front panel of the card counterclockwise to
loosen the card from the slot.
Grasp the two card ejector levers and simultaneously pivot both ejector levers 90 degrees away from
the front edge of the card carrier to unseat the card from the backplane connector.
Touching only the metal card carrier, slide the card from the slot and place it directly into an antistatic
sack or other ESD-preventive container. If you plan to return the defective card to the factory, repackage
it in the shipping container you received with the replacement card.
