line card.
Cisco ASR 9000 Series
Line Card
Open the ejector levers on either
side of the line card.
Carry the line card and slide the card
into the slot to connect with the
backplane connector. Start with the
lowest numbered line card slot.
Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your
wrist and to the ESD socket of the
chassis, or to a bare metal surface on
the chassis or frame.

Pivot the ejector levers to seat the
card into the backplane connector.
4Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 to
install another line card.
To uninstall a line card, perform the steps in
the reverse order.
For manual OIR (online insertion and removal)
of cards, disengage the line card from the
backplane connector, and partially pull out
the line card. Reseat the card to
establish the connection again.
65 Tighten the captive screws on either
side of the line card to a torque of
10 1 in-lb.
This procedure explains installing the line
card in the horizontal position.
To install the line card in the vertical
position, follow the same steps but
hold the card vertically.

Route the cable bundle from the line card through the cable
management bracket slot. Each line card has its own cable
routing slot.

Each line card has its own cable routing divider in the
cable management tray. Route the cable or cable bundle
from the line card through the dividers of the cable
management tray.

Cable Management
Cable management can be achieved by
routing the cables through the following
brackets:
1. Chassis cable management bracket.
2. Cable management tray.
Note: Use cable dust cap to protect the
cables from dust when the cables are
not in use.
Cable management brackets keep the
cables organized. Ensure cables from other
equipment installed in the rack do not
restrict access to the card cages.
To avoid noise interference in network
interface cables, do not route them directly
across or along power cables.

Chassis Airow
Chassis Airow
ESD
Compatible Modules
Replacement
Provide unrestricted airow by maintaining adequate clearance at both the inlet and exhaust openings of the chassis and the
power modules. For more details on chassis airow clearance, click here.
Prevent any airow obstruction that may be caused by cables or blocked lters. Manage and route the cables in ideal directions to
prevent such airow obstructions.
Maintenance Best Practices
ESD
While performing any function or replacement on the chassis, ensure that you use an ESD-preventive antistatic wrist strap
(or ankle strap) to avoid damage by static electricity.
Periodically, check the resistance value of the ESD-preventive strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 M Ohm.
For more details, click here.
Replacement
Inspect air lters once every 3 months. If there is an increase in temperature, please check the air lters and fans for any
malfunctioning. For troubleshooting, reach out to Cisco TAC and isolate any possible hardware failure.
Replace air lters that are clogged or damaged. Cleaning the air lters is not recommended.
Use only compatible versions of power modules and fan trays for operations. For the product datasheet, click here.
Compatible Modules
During maintenance, to avoid dust accumulation and air leakage that can increase the chassis temperature, do not keep the fan tray
slot empty for a long duration.

Cisco ASR 9000 Series
Line Card
Packaging
Maintenance Best Practices
Clean Environment
Ensure that the chassis installation site is dust free.
Use ller cards in empty slots to prevent dust accumulation and to maintain proper airow.
Always use dust caps on empty optical ports to prevent dust accumulation and airow leakage.
Clean the optical ports according to standard cleaning procedures.
Maintain good air quality, and check air chemical composition at regular intervals. Impure air with high levels of chemical
concentration can cause corrosion that, in turn, would result in product degradation.
Operating Temperature
While packing and transporting line cards or other modules, use only Cisco provided packaging. Any other improper packaging for
moving equipment may severely damage the product.
Repackage the components the same way as it was packaged at the time of product delivery by including all packaging materials.
Orienting the product incorrectly inside the package may cause damage to the product during transportation.
Always use the ESD cover to wrap the hardware before packing it into packaging cartons. Handle any failed hardware with care, and
use an ESD wrist band or an antistatic bag.
Maintain normal operations by anticipating and correcting environmental anomalies before they approach critical values by properly
planning and preparing your site before you install the router.
If the temperature or power requirement of the line card or the chassis exceeds the operating temperature or power requirement,
a thermal shutdown procedure is initiated as applicable.
Operate the chassis only within the limits of the recommended temperature. For technical specications, refer to the respective
product datasheet- click here.

Grounding
Corrosion
Cisco ASR 9000 Series
Line Card
Grounding
Ensure that all equipment racks are grounded to the building. Otherwise, it can pose a serious safety risk to personnel.
Additionally, an electrical current can cause operational deciencies or expose the networking equipment to the risk of permanent
failure due to ESD risks.
Verify the eectiveness of a good ground connection using a multimeter. The multimeter readings should display less than 1 Ohm
for good point-to-point resistivity.
Maintenance Best Practices
For more details on grounding, click here.
Corrosion
Over a period of time, corrosion can degrade the performance of the components. It leads to blocked currents, brittle connection
points, and overheated electrical systems. As chemical reactions continue, the corrosion by-products form insulating layers on
circuits, and they usually cause electronic failure, short circuits, pitting, and metal loss. Therefore, ensure that the maximum
concentration of contaminants for indoor installation does not exceed the prescribed limit.
Avoid touching contacts on modules and protect the equipment from extreme temperatures and moist, salty environments. Monitor
the environmental factors that impact the corrosion rate: ambient pressure, humidity, and temperature. Whenever possible, ensure
that the installation site is fully air conditioned to ensure that the environmental factors are under control.
Install real-time corrosion measurement systems. Corrosion monitors enable you to take preventive action before serious
damage occurs.
The use of HEPA lters is advised to maintain clean air circulation systems.
Avoid using direct air cooling on the product (network equipment).
