Removing An Msc, Fp, Or Lsp - Cisco Carrier Routing System CRS-1 Installation Manual

Chapter 4 Installing and Removing SFCs, RPs, MSCs, FPs, LSPs, PLIMs, and Associated Components
Carefully slide the line card into the slot until the ejector levers meet the edges of the card cage, then
Step 10
stop when the ejector lever hooks catch the lip of the card cage. If they do not catch, try reinserting the
card until the ejector lever hooks are fully latched.
Note
To fully seat the card in the midplane connector, grasp both card ejector levers simultaneously, then push
Step 11
them both inward until they are flush against the front edge of the card carrier. After the guide pins make
contact, continue pushing the card carrier until the card ejector levers begin pivoting forward.
Caution
To ensure proper EMI shielding and prevent the line card from becoming partially dislodged from the
Step 12
midplane, use a screwdriver to fully tighten the captive screws next to each line card ejector lever.

Removing an MSC, FP, or LSP

This section describes how to remove an MSC, FP, or LSP line card from the Cisco CRS 4-slot line card
chassis. For more detailed information on the MSC and FP, see Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 4-Slot
Line Card Chassis System Description.
A line card fits into any available line card slot and connects directly to the midplane.
Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this task.
OL-10971-10
Line cards have guide pins that make initial contact with the midplane connector as you slide a
card into its slot.
Verify that the openings on the card ejector cams pass over the tabs; otherwise, one or both
ejector levers may bind when you attempt to close the levers, thereby damaging or breaking
one or both of them.
To ensure adequate space for additional line cards, always tighten the captive installation
screws on each newly installed line card before you insert another line card. These captive
screws also prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding and EMI shielding for
the system.
Place the impedance carrier in an antistatic bag for storage and future use.
Verify that the card has been installed properly (see the
or LSP" section on page 4-40).
If you are performing the initial installation of the system, install the PLIMs (see the
or Remove a Physical Layer Interface Module" section on page
