Chapter 5 Installing and Removing a SIP or SSC
SIP or SSC Installation and Removal
To install and remove a SIP, refer to Figure 5-2 and do the following:
Step 1 To insert the SIP, carefully align the edges of the SIP between the upper and lower edges of the module
slot, as shown in C of
Figure 5-2.
Step 2 Carefully slide the SIP halfway into the module slot and connect all cables to the SPA.
Step 3 With the cables connected, carefully slide the SIP into the module slot until the SIP makes contact with
the backplane.
Note The SIP ejector levers must be positioned at a 45-degree angle before the SIP makes contact with
the backplane.
Step 4 Push the SIP ejector levers in until the SIP is fully seated in the router backplane.
Note When the chassis is fully populated, seating a SIP can be difficult. To properly seat the SIP and
avoid physical damage, loosen the locking thumbscrews on the neighboring SIPs or line cards.
Caution Use of excessive force can damage the router or SIP.
Step 5 Tighten the locking thumbscrews on both sides of the SIP to a torque of between 8.3 and 11 inch-pounds
(94 to 124 N-cm). Do not overtighten.
Step 6 To remove the SIP, loosen the locking thumbscrews on both sides of the SIP, as shown in A of Figure 5-2.
Step 7 Pull out the SIP ejector levers, as shown in B of Figure 5-2, and carefully slide the SIP halfway out of
the module slot. If you are removing a blank filler plate, pull the blank filler plate completely out of the
module slot.
Step 8 With the SIP halfway out of the module slot, disconnect all cables from the SPA. After disconnecting
the cables, pull the SIP out of the module slot.
