Step 3 Connect the US cables to the US ports on
the card (US0–US7). All US ports are light
blue.

5 Removing the Card
To prevent the alarms from activating,
administratively shut down the card using the
shutdown command in interface configuration
mode before removing it from the chassis.
Step 1 Make sure that you are properly
grounded.
Step 2 Disconnect all the cables from the cable
interface line card.
Step 3 Unscrew the captive installation screws on
the faceplate.

Step 4 Grasp the handle and carefully pull the
card out of its slot (see Figure 4).

Caution Always handle the card by the carrier
edges and handle; never touch the
cable interface line card’s components
or connector pins. For proper cooling
and airflow, always install a line card
cover in an empty line card slot.
Step 5 Place the card on an antistatic surface with
its components facing upward.
Note If the card is being returned to the factory,
immediately place it in a static shielding
bag and proper packaging for protection.
6 Troubleshooting
1. Make sure that the card is securely seated in
the chassis.
If the captive screws do not tighten all the way,
the card is not properly seated in the chassis or
backplane. Carefully pull the card halfway out
of the slot, reinsert it, and tighten the captive
installation screws.
Caution A partially seated line card can cause
the router to reboot.
2. Are all enabled LEDs on? If yes, the system is
operational.
If no, check the following possibilities:
a. If the card has been enabled and
configured for operations, the enabled
LED remains on.
b. If a port is enabled but its enabled LED is
still off, check if the card has pulled away
from the router. Reseat the card in its slot.
(Do not have to turn off the system power
to do this.} After the system reinitializes
the interfaces, the enabled LED on the
card should come on.
3. If the enabled LED remains off after the above
checks, it is likely that the system has detected
a processor hardware failure. Go to the Cisco
TAC website http://www.cisco.com/tac for
further information and help.
