Cisco SCE8000 GBE Installation and Configuration Guide
Chapter 9 Removal and Replacement Procedures
Installing a Module
Always handle the SIP by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the SIP components or connector
pins. (See Figure 9-9.)
When a slot is not in use, a blank filler plate must be installed in the empty slot to allow the SCE platform
to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow
across the installed modules. If you plan to install a SIP in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove
the blank filler plate.
Figure 9-9 Handling a SIP
Installing a Module
Perform the following procedure to install a module:
Step 1 Choose a slot for the module.
Modules must be installed in the proper slots, as follows:
• A single Cisco SCE 8000-SCM-E module must be installed in slot 1.
• If a second Cisco SCE 8000-SCM-E module is used, it must be installed in slot 2.
• The Cisco SCE 8000-SIP module must be installed in slot 3.
Step 2 At the SCE8000# prompt, enter reload shutdown and press Enter to power down the Cisco SCE 8000
platform before installing or removing any module.
Step 3 Make sure that there is enough clearance to accommodate any interface equipment that you connect
directly to the module ports.
Step 4 Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all modules already installed in the chassis.
This ensures that the EMI gaskets on all modules are fully compressed to maximize the opening space
for the new or replacement module.
