Cisco ASR 903 Installation Instructions

SUMMARY STEPS
1.
Choose a slot for the module. Make sure that there is enough clearance to accommodate any equipment
that will be connected to the ports on the module. If a blank module filler plate is installed in the slot in
which you plan to install the module, remove the plate by removing its two Phillips pan-head screws.
2.
Fully open both the ejector levers on the new module, as shown in this figure.
3.
Position the module in the slot. Make sure that you align the sides of the module with the guides on each
side of the slot, as shown in this figure.
4.
Carefully slide the module into the slot until the EMI gasket on the module makes contact with the module
in the adjacent slot and both the ejector levers have closed to approximately 45 degrees with respect to
the module faceplate.
5.
While pressing down, simultaneously close both the ejector levers to fully seat the module in the backplane
connector. The ejector levers are fully closed when they are flush with the module faceplate.
6.
Tighten the two captive installation screws on the module. The recommended maximum torque is 5.5
lbf/sq in.
7.
Verify that the captive installation screws are tightened on all of the modules installed in the chassis. This
step ensures that the EMI gaskets on all the modules are fully compressed in order to maximize the opening
space for the new or replacement module.
