SIP Installation and Removal
SIP Installation and Removal
This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing and removing a SIP.
Note To ensure compliance with electromagnetic interference (EMI) approvals by providing a tight
EMI-preventive seal for the Cisco 7600 series routers, we recommend that you first install SIPs in the
slots closest to the supervisor engine slots, and then work out to the slots furthest from the supervisor
engine slots.
Warning
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Statement 94
To install and remove a SIP, refer to Figure 5-2 and do the following:
Step 1 To insert the SIP, carefully align the edges of the SIP between the upper and lower edges of the module
slot, as shown in C of Figure 5-2.
Step 2 Carefully slide the SIP halfway into the module slot and connect all cables to the SPA.
Step 3 With the cables connected, carefully slide the SIP into the module slot until the SIP makes contact with
the backplane.
Note The SIP ejector levers must be positioned at a 45-degree angle before the SIP makes contact with
the backplane.
Step 4 Push the SIP ejector levers in until the SIP is fully seated in the router backplane.
Note When the router chassis is fully populated, seating a SIP can be difficult. To properly seat the
SIP and avoid physical damage, loosen the locking thumbscrews on the neighboring SIPs or line
cards.
Caution Use of excessive force can damage the router or SIP.
Step 5 Tighten the locking thumbscrews on both sides of the SIP.
Step 6 To remove the SIP, loosen the locking thumbscrews on both sides of the SIP, as shown in A of Figure 5-2.
Step 7 Pull out the SIP ejector levers, as shown in B of Figure 5-2, and carefully slide the SIP halfway out of
the module slot. If you are removing a blank filler plate, pull the blank filler plate completely out of the
module slot.
Step 8 With the SIP halfway out of the module slot, disconnect all cables from the SPA. After disconnecting
the cables, pull the SIP out of the module slot.
