Removing an RSP Module
Removing an RSP Module
Before you remove an RSP from the chassis, you should save the current configuration using the write {host
file | network | terminal} command. This saves you time when bringing the module back online.
If the module is running Cisco IOS software, save the current running configuration by entering the copy
running-config startup-config command.
Warning
Warning
To remove an RSP module, perform the following 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 you plan to remove from the chassis.
Step 4
Place your thumbs on the ejector levers 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.
Caution
To prevent ESD damage, handle modules by the carrier edges only.
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
Installing the Wire Wrap Adapter
The wire wrap adapter is used to support the wire wrap interface for the BITS port on the RSP3 module. This
adapter is plugged into the existing RJ-45 connector on the RSP3 module.

Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when
servicing. Statement 1034
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or
view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
