Installing the Cisco ASR 903 Router as a Satellite Shelf

SUMMARY STEPS

1. Disconnect any cables attached to the ports on the module.

2. Verify that the captive installation screws on all the modules in the chassis are tight. This step ensures that

the space created by the removed module is maintained.

3. Loosen the two captive installation screws on the module that you plan to remove from the chassis.

4. Place your thumbs on the ejector levers (see the figure Cisco ASR 903 RSP Installation) and simultaneously

rotate the ejector levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.

5. Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module straight out of the slot. If the chassis has horizontal

slots, place your hand under the module to support its weight as you slide it out from the slot. Do not touch

the module circuitry.

6. Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall the module in another

slot.

7. Install blank module filler plates (Cisco part number A900-RSPA-BLANK) in empty slots, if any.

DETAILED STEPS

Step 1

Disconnect any cables attached to the ports on the module.

Step 2

Verify that the captive installation screws on all the modules in the chassis are tight. This step ensures that the space

created by the removed module is maintained.

If the captive installation screws are loose, the EMI gaskets on the installed modules will push the modules

Note

toward the open slot, which in turn reduces the size of the opening and makes it difficult to remove the module.

Step 3

Loosen the two captive installation screws on the module that you plan to remove from the chassis.

Step 4

Place your thumbs on the ejector levers (see the figure Cisco ASR 903 RSP Installation) and simultaneously rotate the

ejector levers outward to unseat the module from the backplane connector.

Step 5

Grasp the front edge of the module and slide the module straight out of the slot. If the chassis has horizontal slots, place

your hand under the module to support its weight as you slide it out from the slot. Do not touch the module circuitry.

To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.

Caution

Step 6

Place the module on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam, or immediately reinstall the module in another slot.

Step 7

Install blank module filler plates (Cisco part number A900-RSPA-BLANK) in empty slots, if any.

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and

currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they

direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers,

and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
