Warning
Statement 1034 Backplane Voltage
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when
servicing
Procedure
Step 1
Open the packaging for the new Route Processor card, inspect the card for damage, and verify that the card
is the same type as the other Route Processor card installed in the chassis.
If the card is damaged, alert the Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
Step 2 If you are installing the card in an empty slot, remove the blank card that is already in that slot by unscrewing
its captive screw and pulling it out of the slot. Go to Step 4.
Step 3 If you are replacing a card that is currently in the chassis, remove the existing card from the chassis by following
these steps:
a) Run the shutdown location 0/ {RP0 | RP1}/CPU0 command in EXEC mode, which gracefully shuts
down Route Processor module to prevent any of the file systems from being corrupted.
b) Verify that the Route Processor LED for the slot that you specified turns off. Also, you can use the show
platform command to verify that the status of the card is SHUT DOWN.
c) Disconnect the cables from the card.
d) If there are any external drives attached to the card through its USB ports, detach those drives.
e) Remove the screws that secure the card.
f) Slide the middle section of the ejector handles toward the end of the handle and rotate the handle away
from the front of the card.
The card unseats its connectors from the midplane and moves slightly out of the chassis.

g) Use one hand to hold the front of the card, place your other hand under the card to support its weight, pull
the card out of the chassis, and set the it on an antistatic surface or inside an antistatic bag.
