How to Install or Remove an MSC, FP, or LSP
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools and part to perform this task:
•
ESD-preventive strap
•
Small Phillips screwdriver
•
Medium flat-blade or Phillips screwdriver
•
Card:
–
Modular services card (Cisco product number: CRS-MSC, CRS-MSC-B, or CRS-MSC-140G.
See the product data sheet for ordering details.)
–
Forwarding Processor (FP) card (Cisco product number: CRS-FP40 or CRS-FP-140. See the
product data sheet for ordering details.)
–
Label Switch Processor card: (Cisco product number: CRS-LSP. See the product data sheet for
ordering details.)
Steps
To install a modular services card, follow these steps:
Step 1
Go to the front of the chassis. Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash
to one of the ESD connection sockets on the front side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the
chassis.
Step 2
Remove the line card from its antistatic packaging.
Step 3
Use a medium Phillips screwdriver to remove the line card from its protective carrier.
Step 4
Remove the slide-assistance arm (handle) currently attached to the line card:
a.
Using a small Phillips screwdriver, turn the two captive screws (one top, one bottom) on the
slide-assistance arm counter-clockwise to detach the arm from the card face.
b.
Set the slide-assistance arm carefully aside. We recommend storing it in the original Cisco
packaging.
Step 5
Visually inspect the connector pins on the card before you insert it into the chassis.
Note
Do not attempt to install a card with bent pins, because this may damage the chassis midplane
connectors.
Step 6
Identify the card slot in the card cage where the line card should be installed.
a.
If there is an impedance carrier in the slot, remove it (see the
“Removing an Impedance Carrier”
section on page 4-10
.)
Note
Remove only one impedance carrier and install one line card at a time. Be sure to verify that
each line card is fully installed and secured before installing another card.
b.
If there is a line card already installed in the slot, remove the card (see the
“Removing an MSC, FP,
or LSP” section on page 4-37
).
