Removing and Installing a Line Card
When removing the 4-port ISE ATM line card, take into account that it weighs approximately 13.2 lb
Note
(6 kg).
Removing the Blank Filler
This procedure only applies to 4-port ISE ATM line cards in Cisco 12008 and Cisco 12012 routers.
Because the 4-port ISE ATM line card is wider than the line card slots in the Cisco 12008 and Cisco
12012 Routers, the line card uses the space of two slots. The blank filler (part number:
4OC12X/ATM-BLANK) is used to fill the remaining area not used in the second slot, thereby providing
proper ventilation for the line card and protecting the chassis and line card from damage.
The blank filler is removed after the ATM line card has been removed.
Do not attempt to remove the blank filler before completely removing the ATM line card from the

chassis. (See the
the blank filler from the chassis before you can install any other line cards into the slot besides the ATM
line card.
To remove the blank filler, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive screw at each end of the blank filler faceplate.
Step 2 Grasp the blank filler faceplate with one hand and pull the blank filler straight out of the slot, keeping
your other hand under the blank filler to guide it.
This completes the procedure for removing the blank filler. The router slot can now be used to install
any line card.
Installing a Blank Filler
This procedure only applies to 4-port ISE ATM line cards in Cisco 12008 and Cisco 12012 routers.
Because the 4-port ISE ATM line card is wider than the line card slots in the Cisco 12008 and
Cisco 12012 routers, the 4-port ISE ATM line card uses the space of two line card slots. The blank filler
is used to fill the remaining area not used in the second slot, thereby providing proper ventilation for the
line card and protecting the chassis and line card from damage.
The ATM line card can be installed into any available pair of slots in the Cisco 12008 or Cisco 12012
router. The blank filler is installed into the rightmost slot of the pair to be used by the line card.
You must install a blank filler before installing a ATM line card in a Cisco 12008 or Cisco 12012 router.
