Removing and Replacing a Cable Interface Line Card

Use the following procedure to install a new cable interface line card, or to remove or replace an existing

cable interface line card in the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. The following cable interface line cards are

supported:

• Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC16C, UBR10-LCP2-MC16C=,

• Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC16E, UBR10-LCP2-MC16E=

• Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC16S, UBR10-LCP2-MC16S=

• Cisco uBR10-LCP2-MC28C, UBR10-LCP2-MC28C=

• Cisco uBR10-MC5X20S/U, UBR10-MC5X20S=, UBR10-MC5X20U=

Caution Do not attempt to separate or remove the Cisco MCxx cable interface card from the Cisco uBR10-LCP2

adapter card while the cards are installed in the Cisco

uBR10012 chassis. The cards must be removed

from the chassis as a unit. See the

“Removing and Replacing the Cable Interface Line Card in the

Adapter Card” section on page 5-65.

Tip To prevent alarms from activating, you must administratively shut down a cable interface line card before

hot-swapping it. Otherwise, inform the network administrator that this portion of the network will be

temporarily interrupted. If the maintenance LED is lighted, you can remove the line card without

affecting systems operations.

Removing the Cable Interface Line Card

Step 1 Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal, unpainted surface on the chassis or

frame.

Step 2 Face the back of the Cisco uBR10012 chassis. Clear aside enough interface and power cables to allow

sufficient space to work.

Step 3 If installing a new cable interface line card in a blank slot, remove the blank slot cover and discard.

Otherwise, disconnect all coaxial cables from the cable interface line card being replaced or removed.

Step 4 Unscrew the top and bottom captive screws on the cable interface line card (see Figure 5-54).
