Depending on your configuration, you might need to remove processor modules to reduce the weight of
the chassis for rack-mount installation. To remove or insert interface processors, you do not need to turn
off power to the system; however, on single power supply systems, you must turn off the system power
before you insert or remove an RSP.
Note
Place removed processor modules in the collapsible, black-cardboard board racks that were provided
with your packing material. (See
Figure 3-13
.)
You need a number 1 Phillips or 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to remove any fillers (blank processor
module carriers) and to tighten the captive installation screws that secure the processor module in its slot.
Whenever you handle modules, you should use an ESD-preventive wrist strap or other grounding device
to prevent ESD damage.
