Note Do not shut down the system power when
removing an interface processor, VIP, or an RSP in a
system configured for HA. If you are removing an
RSP and have only one RSP, shut down the system,
but first copy the configuration file to a TFTP server.
See the “Copy the Configuration File for an RSP”
section on page 31. If you have a system using high
system availability (HSA), shut down the system to
remove the master RSP, but leave power on if you
remove only the slave RSP.
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap
between you and any unpainted chassis
surface.
Step 2 If you have a VIP4 and are using HSA
with an RSP2 as the slave processor,
remove the RSP2 and wait 20-30 seconds.
Step 3 Disconnect all cables from the interface
processor, VIP, or RSP port adapters;
unless you are only moving a carrier, then
skip this step.
Step 4 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive
installation screws, as shown in A.
Step 5 Place your thumbs on both ejector levers
and simultaneously pull them both
outward, as shown in B.
Step 6 Grasp the interface processor, filler, VIP,
or RSP handle with one hand and pull the
carrier straight out of the slot, keeping
yourother hand underthe carrier toguide
it.
Step 7 Store the interface processor, VIP, or RSP
in an antistatic bag.
