To avoid damaging card mechanical components, never carry an RSP or line card by the captive installation
screws or ejector levers. Doing so can damage these components and cause card insertion problems.
Caution
For line card configuration information, see Verifying and Troubleshooting Line Card Installation, on page
137.
Removing a Line Card
If you are replacing a failed line card, remove the existing line card first, then install the new line card in the
same slot. To remove a line card, use the figure below or Figure 40: Removing a Line Card (Cisco ASR 9922
Router Shown), on page 75 as a reference and follow these steps:
1. Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and follow its instructions for use.
2. Disconnect and remove all interface cables from the ports; note the current connections of the cables to the
ports on the line card.
3. Detach the line card cable-management bracket from the line card.
4. Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive screw at each end of the line card front panel.
