Removing a Module
To remove a module:
Caution: If you do not use the halt command before removing or powering down
an SRP, the system’s NVS card may become corrupted.
1 Enter the halt command.
See ERX System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, Managing
Line Modules and SRP Modules for information about the halt
command.
Caution: When handling modules, use an antistatic wrist strap connected to the
ERX system’s ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protect the module from
damage by electrostatic discharge.
2 Connect the antistatic wrist strap to the ESD grounding jack on your
ERX system.
3 Use a screwdriver to loosen the thumb screws located at the top and
bottom of the module panel, as shown in Figure 3-5.
4 Raise the ejector handles located at the top and bottom of the
module so that they are in position 2, as shown in Figure 3-7.
Caution: Always handle the module by its edges. Do not touch the components,
pins, leads, or solder connections.
5 Carefully slide the module out of the chassis, as shown in Figure 3-9.
6 Place the module in its antistatic bag.
7 Cover the empty chassis slot with a blank faceplate. Tighten the
faceplate’s top and bottom captive screws using a Phillips
screwdriver, as shown in Figure 3-10. Turn both screws several times
before tightening them completely.
