Chapter 9 Removal and Replacement Procedures
Removing and Replacing Modules
Required Tools
These tools are required to remove or install modules in the Cisco SCE8000 GBE chassis:
• 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
• Wrist strap or other grounding device
• Antistatic container that the module was shipped in
Handling SIPs
Each SIP circuit board is mounted to a metal carrier and is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage.
Always handle the SIP by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the SIP components or connector
pins. (See Figure 9-9.)
When a slot is not in use, a blank filler plate must be installed in the empty slot to allow the SCE platform
to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions requirements and to allow proper airflow
across the installed modules. If you plan to install a SIP in a slot that is not in use, you must first remove
the blank filler plate.
