Installing an Uplink Card
Installing an Uplink Card
Perform the following steps to safely install an uplink card into the router:
Step 1 Confirm that the cable-management cover is removed, the router is powered down, and the
cable-management tray is removed before installing the card. (See the “ •Removing the
Cable-Management System, page 3-4” section on page 3-2, the “Powering Down the Router” section on
page 3-2, and the “Removing the Cable-Management System” section on page 3-4.)
Step 2 Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist, and to the router or to a bare metal surface. (See the
“Preventing Electrostatic Discharge” section on page 2-4.)

Step 3 Grasp the uplink card and use the slot guides located inside the uplink card slot as a guide to insert the
card into the router. (See Figure 3-11.)
Step 4 Holding the spring-loaded screws located on the front of the uplink card, insert the card into the upper
card slot of the router chassis. (See Figure 3-11.)
Step 5 Gently slide the card into the router chassis until the card seats into the midplane.
Step 6 Tighten the spring-loaded screws by turning them clockwise until the card is completely secure.
For the DPT or POS/DPT uplink cards, go to the “SONET Distance Information for RPR/SRP, DPT, and
POS/DPT Uplink Cards” section on page 3-11 and then “Connecting the Ports on the RPR/SRP, DPT,
and POS/DPT Uplink Cards” section on page 3-12.
For the RPR/SRP uplink card, go to the “Installing the OC48 SFP Modules in the RPR/SRP Uplink
Card” section on page 3-10.
