Installing Cisco Interface Cards on the Cisco ICS 7750
If an interface card slot on the ASI 81 or MRP is unoccupied, install a filler panel to enable proper
Tip
airflow.
Align the ASI 81 or MRP with the upper and lower card guides in the chassis slot, and make sure that
Step 11
the extractor levers are in the open position (pointing outward).
With the top and bottom edges of the ASI 81 or MRP in the card guides, gently slide the card into the
Step 12
chassis until you feel resistance. Because there are grounding clips near the front and rear of the card
guides, you might need to increase the amount of force that you use to get the card past the grounding
clips. If you encounter extreme resistance, pull the card out slightly, and push it back in again.
Step 13 Press the upper and lower extractor levers inward at the same time until they lock into their slots. This
step firmly seats the ASI 81 or MRP into the chassis.
Step 14 Connect cables to the ASI 81 or MRP interfaces.
Step 15 The status LED on the ASI 81 or MRP blinks green as it boots. Wait until the LED is steady green, and
then verify that the interface card installation. See the
Cisco ICS 7750" section on page
