Removing and Replacing Processor Modules
Before you can replace the card cage and backplane assembly, you need to remove all processor
modules installed in the card cage, and then replace them after the new card cage assembly is in
place. The term processor module refers to the RSP2, RSP4, or RSP8 and all interface processors.

Turn off power to the chassis. If two power supplies are installed, the power switch on
each supply must be in the off (O) position.
Attach an ESD-preventive strap between you and an unpainted chassis surface.
If there is not enough slack in the network interface cables to remove the processor
module without straining the cables, disconnect any cables attached to the interface ports.
You must pull each processor module straight out of its slot. Ensure that there are no
obstructions that will prevent you from doing so, such as a power strip on a rack post,
network connection devices attached to adjacent processor modules, or extensive cabling
in front of the processor slots.
Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at both ends of the processor
module. (See Figure 5a.)
Place your thumbs on the ejector levers on both ends of the processor module (see
Figure 5c) and simultaneously pull them both outward to release the processor module
from the backplane connector.
Grasp the processor module handle with one hand and place your other hand under the
carrier to support it. Pull the processor module straight out of the slot, keeping it at a
90-degree orientation to the backplane. (See Figure 7 on page 12.)
Place the removed processor modules in the black cardboard racks that were provided
with the original equipment packaging. (See Figure 6.) You can place all 13 processor
modules in these holders.
