Installing the Cisco ASR 902 Router

Removing an RSP Module

Before you remove an RSP module from the router, you should save the current configuration using the write

{host file | network | terminal} command. This saves you time when bringing the module back online.

If the module is running Cisco IOS software, save the current running configuration by entering the copy

running-config startup-config command.

Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when

servicing. Statement 1034

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams

or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051

To remove an RSP module, perform the following steps:

Step 1

Disconnect any cables attached to the ports on the module.

Step 2

Verify that the captive installation screws on all the modules in the chassis are tight. This step ensures that the space

created by the removed module is maintained.

If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules

Note

towards the open slot, which in turn reduces the size of the opening and makes it difficult to remove the module.

Step 3

Loosen the two captive installation screws on the module you plan to remove from the chassis.

Step 4

Place your thumbs on the ejector levers ( the figure below ) and simultaneously rotate the ejector levers outward to unseat

the module from the backplane connector.

Step 5

Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module straight out of the slot. If the chassis has horizontal slots, place

your hand under the module to support its weight as you slide it out from the slot. Do not touch the module circuitry.

To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.

Caution

Step 6

Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
