Installing Cards in the Chassis

Installing RP Cards in the Chassis

Follow these steps to reinstall RP cards into the Cisco ASR 9922 Router (see

Figure 2-27

for slot

numbering) and Cisco ASR 9912 Router (see

Figure 2-31

for slot numbering).

Step 1

Starting at slot RP0, slide the card into the slot.

Step 2

Pivot the ejector levers to seat the card to the backplane connector.

Caution

Do not apply excessive force to the RP card to seat it. When seated, the RP card ejector levers are angled
slightly outward from the card faceplate (item 1 in

Figure 3-4

). When the captive installation screws are

fully tightened, the ejector levers are parallel to the card faceplate (item 2 in

Figure 3-4

). Some flexing

in the backplane is normal. When you push the ejector levers fully vertical, the card is seated in the
backplane connectors. However, when you release the levers, backplane flexing pushes the levers out,
so the levers may be slightly loose. Tightening the captive installation screws prevents any additional
movement from flexing of the backplane.

Step 3

Tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the front panel to a torque of 10 +/–1 in-lb.

Step 4

Repeat

Step 1

through

Step 3

to install the second RP card into slot RP1.

Note

Even when the RP card is fully seated with installation screws fully tightened, there may be a slight gap
between the card and the chassis (item 3 in
