Installing An Rsp Module - Cisco ASR 903 Installing Manual

Installing an RSP Module

Installing an RSP Module
To install an RSP module in the router chassis, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Choose a slot for the module. Make sure that there is enough clearance to accommodate any equipment that will be
connected to the ports on the module. If a blank module filler plate is installed in the slot in which you plan to install the
module, remove the plate by removing its 2 Phillips pan-head screws.
Step 2
Fully open both the ejector levers on the new module, as shown in the figure below.
To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by carrier edges only.
Caution
Step 3 Position the module in the slot. Make sure that you align the sides of the module with the guides on each side of the slot,
as shown in the figure below .

Step 4 Carefully slide the module into the slot until the EMI gasket on the module makes contact with the module in the adjacent
slot and both the ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to the module faceplate.
If the top slot already has an RSP module installed, and you install a second RSP module in the slot below
Caution
it, be careful not to damage the EMI gasket of the bottom RSP module against the ejector levers of the top
RSP during insertion.
Step 5 While pressing down, simultaneously close both the ejector levers to fully seat the module in the backplane connector.
The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate.
Step 6
Tighten the two captive installation screws on the module. The recommended maximum torque is 5.5 in.-lb (.62 N-m).
Make sure that the ejector levers are fully closed before tightening the captive installation screws.
Note
Step 7 Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all of the modules installed in the chassis. This step ensures
that the EMI gaskets on all the modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening space for the new or
replacement module.
If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push adjacent modules
Note
toward the open slot, which reduces the size of the opening and makes it difficult to install the new module.
Blank module filler plates (Cisco part number A900-RSPA-BLANK) should be installed in any empty chassis
Note
slots to keep dust out of the chassis and to maintain consistent airflow through the chassis.
