Cisco ASR 9000 Series Hardware Installation Guide

CHAPTER 4
Installing and Removing a SPA Interface
Processor
This chapter describes how to install or remove SIPs onCisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Handling SIPs, on page 87
• Removing and Installing a SIP, on page 88
Handling SIPs
Each SIP circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Before you begin installation, read Preparing to Install a Shared Port Adapter or a SPA Interface Processor,
on page 83 for a list of parts and tools required for installation.
Always handle the SIP by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the SIP components or connector pins.
(See the figure below.)
Caution
When a slot is not in use, a blank must fill the empty slot to allow the router to conform to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow across the installed modules. If you
plan to install an SIP in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove the blank.
