Installing and Removing FRUs
Caution
To prevent ESD damage, handle the DS-48 line card by the carrier edges only.
To remove a DS-48 line card from a Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM, do the following:
Step 1
Disconnect the network interface cables attached to the ports on the DS-48 line card that you intend to
remove.
Step 2
Loosen the captive installation screws.
Step 3
Grasp the top and bottom ejector levers and simultaneously pivot the levers outward to release the DS-48
line card from the backplane connector.
Step 4
Grasp the front panel of the DS-48 line card with one hand and place your other hand under the side sheet
metal carrier edge to support and guide it out of the slot. Do not touch the printed circuit board
components or the connector pins.
Step 5
Carefully pull the DS-48 line card straight out of the slot keeping your other hand under the sheet metal
carrier edge to guide it.
Step 6
Place the DS-48 line card on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately install it in another slot.
Note
If you are returning a card to the factory, after removing the card from the chassis, immediately place it
in an antistatic shielding bag.
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to

hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference
(EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the
chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are
in place. Statement 1029
Step 7
If the slot is to remain empty, install a line card blank panel (part number RFGW-LC-COVER= ).
Installation and Removal of the SFP Modules
The following sections describe how to install, remove, and maintain the SFP modules.
Installing SFP Modules
The Supervisor Engine and DS-48 line card can be configured with any combination of small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) modules. The Cisco RF Gateway 10 supports the following SFP modules:
•
•
•
•
•
