CH A P T E R 5 Installing Route Processor Cards, Line Cards, and Fabric Cards This chapter provides instructions on how to install cards and their associated components in the Cisco NCS 6000 Line Card Chassis (LCC).
Chapter 5 Installing Route Processor Cards, Line Cards, and Fabric Cards About Installing Cards and Associated Components • Avoid contact between a card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board from only ESD voltage on the body; ESD voltage on clothing can still cause damage. • Be careful not to lay any tools on the aluminum honeycomb panel, or insert your fingers into the panel.
Chapter 5 Installing Route Processor Cards, Line Cards, and Fabric Cards About Installing Cards and Associated Components Caution The chassis may indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures. Remove or install only one card at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the chassis to complete its tasks before removing or installing another card. 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.
Chapter 5 Installing Route Processor Cards, Line Cards, and Fabric Cards About Installing Cards and Associated Components About Cable Management Brackets The Cisco NCS 6008 LCC has cable management features for both the front and rear sides of the chassis. These features organize the interface cables entering and exiting the different cards, keeping them out of the way and free of sharp bends that may damage the cables.
Chapter 5 Installing Route Processor Cards, Line Cards, and Fabric Cards Installing and Removing an Impedance Carrier Installing and Removing an Impedance Carrier The chassis ships with impedance carriers installed in the LC slots. • Installing an Impedance Carrier, page 5-5 • Removing an Impedance Carrier, page 5-7 Installing an Impedance Carrier This section describes how to install an impedance carrier in the Cisco NCS 6008 LCC.
Chapter 5 Installing Route Processor Cards, Line Cards, and Fabric Cards Installing and Removing an Impedance Carrier LC Slot Impedance Carrier 122147 Figure 5-2 Step 1 Use both hands while inserting an impedance carrier. Use one hand on the faceplate and the other hand along the base of the impedance carrier to guide it into the slot. Step 2 Slide the impedance carrier into the chassis until the captive screw plates are flush with the chassis.
Chapter 5 Installing Route Processor Cards, Line Cards, and Fabric Cards Installing a Route Processor Card Removing an Impedance Carrier Prerequisites Before performing this task, open the cosmetic doors, if installed. Required Tools and Equipment • Number-2 Phillips screwdriver or number-2 common (flat-head) screwdriver Steps To remove an impedance carrier (Figure 5-2), perform the following steps: Step 1 Identify the impedance carrier to be removed from the card cage.
Chapter 5 Installing Route Processor Cards, Line Cards, and Fabric Cards Installing a Route Processor Card Prerequisites Before performing this task, open the cosmetic doors, if installed. The RP cards are hot-swappable. Caution Install one RP card at a time. Allow at least 15 seconds for the chassis to complete its tasks before installing another RP card. The chassis may indicate a hardware failure if you do not follow proper procedures.
