Removing and Installing a Line Card Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is an integral component of the line card. Cisco recommends using an ESD-preventive strap whenever you are handling network equipment or one of its components.
Page 9
The installation and removal procedure for the ATM line card is different for the Cisco 12008 and Note Cisco 12012 routers than for the other Cisco 12000 series routers. Make sure you refer to the procedure that corresponds to your router chassis.
Removing and Installing a Line Card When you remove a line card, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the connector pins Caution disconnect from the backplane in the sequence expected by the router. Any card that is only partially connected to the backplane can halt the router.

Removing and Installing a Line Card When removing the 4-port ISE ATM line card, take into account that it weighs approximately 13.2 lb Note (6 kg). Removing the Blank Filler This procedure only applies to 4-port ISE ATM line cards in Cisco 12008 and Cisco 12012 routers. Because the 4-port ISE ATM line card is wider than the line card slots in the Cisco 12008 and Cisco 12012 Routers, the line card uses the space of two slots.
Page 13
Choose an available pair of slots for the line card, and verify that the fiber-optic interface cables for the Step 1 line card are long enough for you to reach the line card ports and connect the line card to any external equipment.
Page 14
Removing and Installing a Line Card To ensure that there is adequate space for the ATM line card, tighten the captive installation screws on the blank filler before you insert the line card. Use the captive screws to prevent accidental removal and provide proper grounding and Caution EMI shielding for the router.
Page 15
In Cisco 12008 and Cisco 12012 Routers, the 4-port ATM ISE line card uses a pair of line card slots. Note You must install the blank filler into the rightmost slot of the pair before you can install the 4-port ATM ISE line card.
Page 16
Removing and Installing a Line Card When you install a line card, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the card is correctly aligned Caution with the backplane connector, the card connector pins make contact with the backplane in the correct order, and the card is fully seated in the backplane.
Cisco 12000 Series Routers include a cable-management system that organizes the interface cables entering and exiting the router, keeping them out of the way and free of sharp bends.
Page 18
The cable-management system consists of two separate components: A cable-management tray that is mounted on the chassis. Refer to the appropriate Cisco 12000 Series Router installation and configuration guide for more information on the cable-management tray. A cable-management bracket that attaches to a line card.
