Note Do not shut down the system power when
removing an interface processor or VIP. However, if
you are removing the RSP, first copy the
configuration file to a TFTP server (see the “Copy the
Configuration File for an RSP” section on page 21),
and then return to this section to complete the
procedure.
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap
between you and any unpainted chassis
surface.
Step 2 Disconnect all cables from the interface
processor, VIP, or RSP port adapters. If
you are only moving a carrier, skip this
step.
Step 3 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive
installation screws, as shown in A.
Step 4 Place your thumbs on both ejector levers
and simultaneously pull them both
outward, as shown in B.
Step 5 Grasp the interface processor, filler, VIP,
or RSP handle with one hand and pull the
carrier straight out of the slot, keeping
your other hand under the carrier to guide
it.
Step 6 Store the interface processor, VIP, or RSP
in an antistatic bag.
Step 7 Repeat Step 2 through Step 6 to remove
any additional interface processors, fillers,
VIPs, or RSPs. Refer to the “Install
Interface Processors, Fillers, VIPs, and
RSPs” section on page 4 to install an
interface processor, filler, VIP, or RSP.
