Handling Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus Line Cards
Each Cisco 7600 Series ES+ line card circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Before you begin installation, read Chapter 3, “Preparing to
Install a Cisco 7600 Series Ethernet Services Plus Line Card,” for a list of parts and tools required for
installation.
Caution Always handle the Cisco 7600 Series ES+ line card by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the line
card components or connector pins. (See Figure 4-1.)
When a slot is not in use, a blank filler plate must be installed in the empty slot to allow the router or
switch to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper
airflow across the installed modules. If you plan to install a Cisco 7600 Series ES+ line card in a slot
that is not in use, you must first remove the blank filler plate.
