Removing an RP, PRP, or DRP Card

Step 6
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.
Step 7
Grasp the card carrier handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide it into the
correct slot. Slide the card halfway into the slot. Avoid touching the card circuitry or any connectors.
Alignment grooves exist on each slot in the card cage. When you install a card in the card cage, make sure
Note
that you align both edges of the card carrier in the slot grooves.
Step 8
Pivot both card ejector levers so that the openings on the card ejector cams at the top and bottom of the card pass over
the tabs on each side of the card cage slot.
Verify that the openings on the card ejector cams pass over the tabs; otherwise, one or both ejector levers
Caution
might bind when you attempt to close the ejector levers, thereby damaging or breaking one or both ejector
levers.
Step 9 Continue sliding the card into the card cage slot until the openings on the card ejector cams engage the tabs on each
side of the card cage slot.
Note RP and PRP cards have guide pins that make initial contact with the backplane connector as you slide the
card into its slot. After the guide pins make contact, continue pushing on the card carrier until the card ejector
levers begin pivoting forward toward the handle in the card carrier.
Step 10
To seat the card in the backplane connector, grasp both card ejector levers and pivot them inward toward the handle in
the card carrier until they are flush against the front edge of the card carrier.
Step 11
Use the screwdriver to turn the two captive screws on the front panel of the card clockwise to seat the card firmly in
the slot.
Step 12 Reattach any cables you removed in Step 3.
What to do next
After performing this task, place the impedance carrier in an antistatic bag for storage and future use. Close
the front (PLIM) side cosmetic doors (if installed) and verify that the card has been installed properly

Removing an RP, PRP, or DRP Card
This section describes how to remove a route processor (RP), performance route processor (PRP), or distributed
route processor (DRP) card from the LCC. Every LCC contains two route processor cards in dedicated slots
on the PLIM side of the chassis (see the previous figure).

Prerequisites

Because chassis operation may be impacted by the removal of an RP or PRP card, perform these tasks only
if one of the following conditions exists:
• When you are certain that the RP card in the chassis is operational and, if not already the Active RP,
• When the chassis is undergoing scheduled maintenance
• When the LCC is powered down
