Installing Mpus/Service Modules/Switching Fabric Modules - H3C CR16000-F Installation Manual

Installing MPUs/service modules/switching fabric
modules
CAUTION:
• Before installing a card, make sure the connectors on the card are not broken or blocked to avoid
damaging the backplane.
• To ensure good ventilation, install a filler panel over an empty MPU, service module, or switching
fabric module slot. MPU slots and service module slots use the same type of filler panels.
• The switching fabric modules for the CR16010-F, CR16014-F, CR16010H-F,
CR16010H-FA,CR16018-FA, and CR16018-F routers each are shipped with a protection box.
Before you install these switching fabric modules, pull the ejector levers on the module outwards,
and then pull the module out of the protection box.
• When installing a universal open application platform on a CR16006-F, a CR16010-F, or a
CR16014-F router, install the provided slot adapter above the platform. The slot adapter
occupies two slots. The installation method for a slot adapter is the same as a filler panel.
The installation procedures for MPUs, service modules, and switching fabric modules are the same.
Unless otherwise stated, MPUs, service modules, and switching fabric modules are collectively
referred to as "cards" in this document. These cards are hot swappable.
The card slots on the router are either horizontally oriented or vertically oriented. When installing a
card in a horizontal slot, make sure its PCB faces up. When installing a card in a vertical slot, make
sure its PCB faces left. The following procedure installs a card in a horizontal slot.
To install a card in a horizontal slot:
1. Wear an ESD wrist strap, and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
For more information, see
2. Remove the filler panel (if any) from the target slot.
Keep the filler panel secure for future use.
Some card slots do not have a filler panel. The figures in this section are for illustration only.
3. Remove the air duct above the module slot. (This step is required only when you install a
service module with a height of 1.2U on the router that has air ducts.)

4. Press the ejector levers down so that they are vertical to the front panel. (This step applies only
to ejector levers similar to those on a CSPEX-1504X card.)
5. Open the locking clip or micro switch, if any, on the module.
