Removing a PTX10000 Line Card
PTX10000 line cards are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can be installed in the line card slots on the
front of the chassis. The line cards are hot-insertable and hot-removable: you can remove and replace
them without powering off the router or disrupting router functions. However, we recommend that you
take them offline before removing them.
If you have the optional line-card cable management system, it is not necessary to remove the cable
management system before removing the line card.
Before you remove a line card from the router chassis:
•
Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
See “Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage” on page 427.
•
If there are any optical cables, (including transceivers installed in the line card), remove them before you
remove the line card. See “Removing a Transceiver from a PTX10000 Router” on page 350.
•
Ensure that you know how to handle and store the line card. See “Unpacking PTX10000 Line Cards,
Routing Control Boards, and Switch Interface Boards” on page 200.
