Removing an RP or PRP Card

This section describes how to remove a route processor (RP) or performance route processor (PRP) card
from the chassis. For more detailed information on the route processor card, see Cisco CRS Series
Carrier Routing System 4-Slot Line Card Chassis System Description.
Every Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis contains two route processor cards in dedicated slots on the
front (PLIM) side of the chassis (see
Prerequisites
Because chassis operation may be impacted by the removal of an RP card, perform these tasks only if

•
•
•
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in interruptions in data communications and network
connectivity.

To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and
safety, connect the Ethernet interfaces only to intrabuilding or nonexposed wiring or cabling.
The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shielding must be grounded at both ends.
Place the impedance carrier in an antistatic bag for storage and future use.
Verify that the card has been installed properly (see the
Card" section on page 4-30).
Connect the console port and LAN port. For more information, see the latest release of the Cisco
IOS XR Getting Started Guide on www.cisco.com.
