•
When installing a fabric card, your must first push the OIR button on both the upper and lower ejectors
for the mechanical latch to be released.
•
The different cards in the FCC are attached to the FCC itself by a pair of ejector levers and captive
screws. The two ejector levers release the card from its midplane connector. The exact locations of the
ejector levers and captive screws can vary slightly from card to card, but are generally in the same
locations: on the upper and bottom ends of the faceplate.
•
The FCC is shipped with the card slots containing either impedance carriers or a plastic cover to help
maintain the chassis stiffness and prevent any damage to the chassis during shipment.
Any unused card slots that are uncovered allows air used for the FCC cooling to escape. To ensure proper
air flow and maintain system EMC and safety compliance, any unused fabric card slots must contain
impedance carriers, and all SC and SC-SW cards must remain installed in their card slots (see the
and Removing an Impedance Carrier , on page 66
and the
Slot Numbers, on page 8
).
Note
The FCC may indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Install only one card at
a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the FCC to complete its tasks before installing another card.
Caution
Steps for OIR Fabric Card Removal
Follow these steps to perform a graceful OIR on the fabric card by using the Cisco IOS XR
shutdown
command.
Step 1
Shut down plane
X
(where
X
is in the range of 0 to 5).
Example:
config
controller fabric plane X
shutdown
commit
Step 2
Shut down FC card location R/FCS (where R is the rack number in the range of 0 to 15 and F0 to F3, and S is the slot
in the range of 0 to 5 for the LCC and 0 to 11 for the FCC).
Example:
config
hw-module location R/S shutdown
commit
...
...
Step 3
Unshut FC location.
Example:
config
no
hw-module location R/S shutdown
