Overview
This chapter introduces the Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 4-Slot Line Card Chassis at the highest
level. It contains illustrations of the front and back of the chassis, complete with callouts to each
hardware component. For details on each subsystem discussed in this chapter, see Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 4-Slot Line Card Chassis System Description. This chapter also provides the
recommended task sequence for installing the major components in the chassis.
The Cisco CRS 4-slot routing system can be installed in locations where the 16-slot or 8-slot systems
may not fit (for example, colocation facilities, data centers, and many Tier II and Tier III locations). The
routing system consists of a single rack-mounted chassis that contains the following system components:
• Switch fabric cards (SFCs) (up to four)
• Route processor (RP) cards (up to two) or performance route processor (PRP) cards (up to two)
• Up to four modular services cards (MSCs), forwarding processor (FP) cards, or label switch
processor (LSP) cards (also called line cards)
• Physical layer interface modules, or PLIMs, (up to four, one for each MSC or FP)
• A chassis midplane that connects line cards to their associated PLIMs and to the SFCs
The Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis has its own power and cooling subsystems. The power shelf (AC
or DC as ordered) is pre-installed in the chassis when you receive the routing system.

The Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis contains the following components:
• As many as four MSCs, FPs, or LSPs and four PLIMs. The line card and PLIM are an associated
pair of cards that mate through the chassis midplane. The line card provides the forwarding engine
for Layer 3 routing of user data, and the PLIM provides the physical interface and connectors for
the user data.
Each line card can be associated with several different PLIMs that provide different interface speeds
and technologies. For a full list of available PLIMs, please contact your Cisco sales representative.

Chassis Components
Chapter 1 Overview
• A chassis midplane that connects line cards to their associated PLIMs. The midplane design allows
a line card to be removed from the chassis without having to disconnect the cables that are attached
to the associated PLIM. The midplane distributes power, connects the line cards to the switch fabric
cards, and provides control plane interconnections. The midplane is not field replaceable by the
customer.
• One or two route processor cards (RPs). The RPs function as the Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis
system controller and provide route processing.
Only one RP is required for system operation. For redundant operation, you can order a second RP
as an option (CRS-4-RP/R). When two RPs are used, only one RP is active at a time. The second
RP acts as a “standby” RP, serving as a backup if the active RP fails.
The RP also monitors system alarms and controls the system fans. LEDS on the front panel indicate
active alarm conditions.
A Performance Route Processor (PRP) is also available for the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis.
Two PRPs perform the same functions as RPs, but provide enhanced performance for both route
processing and system controller functionality.
NoteA chassis may not be populated with a mix of RP and PRP cards. Both route processor cards
should be of the same type (RP or PRP).
• Fan tray. The fans pull cool air through the chassis. A removable air filter is located below the PLIM
card cage at the front of the chassis. The fan tray has four fans that provide n+1 redundancy.
• Four switch fabric cards (SFCs). These cards provide the three-stage Benes switch fabric for the
routing system. The switch fabric performs the cross-connect function of the routing system,
connecting every line card (and its associated PLIM) with every other line card (and its associated
PLIM) in the system.
The switch fabric receives user data from one line card and PLIM pair and performs the switching
necessary to route the data to the appropriate egress line card and PLIM pair. The switch fabric is
divided into eight logical planes (four physical planes) that are used to evenly distribute the traffic
across the switch fabric. Each switch fabric card implements two planes of the switch fabric.
• A power system that provides redundant power to the chassis. The power system consists of an AC
power shelf, which contains four AC rectifier modules, or a DC power shelf, which encloses four
DC power supplies. The power shelf (AC or DC as ordered) is pre-installed in the chassis when you
receive the routing system.
The PLIM side of the chassis is considered the front of the chassis, where user data cables attach to the
PLIMs and cool air enters the chassis. The switch fabric card side, which is where warm air is exhausted,
is considered to be the rear of the chassis.

Chassis Cable Management
The Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis has cable management features for the front (PLIM) side of the
chassis, just above the card cage. The horizontal cable management trays have a special telescoping
feature that allows them to be extended when the chassis is upgraded with higher-density cards. This
extension also helps when installing the cables in the chassis.
Figure 1-5 shows the cable management bracket for the chassis.
Figure 1-5Cable Management Bracket
Chassis Cable Management
Chassis Cooling System
The Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis has a single fan tray containing four fans that cool the chassis
card cage. Cool air flows in at the bottom front of the chassis and flows through the chassis card cage
and through the fans in the fan tray before being expelled through the top rear of the chassis (see
Figure 1-6).
In addition, each power module at the bottom of the chassis has self-contained fans that pull in cool air
from the front of the chassis and exhaust warm air out the rear. Air also flows under the midplane,
through the SFCs, and then the fans to be expelled. There are these two parallel paths for air flow.
A replaceable air filter is located inside the chassis below the PLIM card cage at an angle. In addition,
there is a removable air filter on the front of the power tray air intake grille on the front (PLIM) side of
the chassis.
How often the air filters should be replaced depends on the facility environment. In a dirty environment,
or when you start getting frequent temperature alarms, you should always check the intake grille for
debris, and then check the air filters to see if they need to be replaced.
NoteWe recommend that you check the air filters once a month. Replace a filter when you notice a significant
amount of dust.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are
improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. We recommend to use an
ESD-preventive strap whenever you handle network equipment or one of its components.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
Connect the equipment end of the connection cord to an ESD connection socket on the router or to
a bare metal surface on the chassis.
• Handle a card by its ejector levers, when applicable, or the card’s metal carrier only; avoid touching
the board or connector pins.
• Place a removed card board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding bag. If you plan
to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.
• Avoid contact between the card and clothing. The wrist strap protects the board only from ESD
voltage on the body; ESD voltage on clothing can still cause damage.

Basic Chassis Power Recommendations
The Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 4-Slot Line Card Chassis can be configured with either an
AC-input power subsystem or a DC-input power subsystem. Site power requirements differ depending
on the source voltage used. Follow these precautions and recommendations when planning power
connections to the router:
• Check the power at your site before installation and periodically after installation to ensure that you
are receiving clean power. Install a power conditioner, if necessary.
• Install proper grounding to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.

About Installing and Removing the Power Components
CautionA Cisco router must be operated with all its power modules installed at all times for electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC).
The Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis requires that at least the power shelves and their components be
installed to operate properly. Two types of power shelves exist: an AC shelf and a DC shelf. An AC
power shelf houses AC rectifiers, while a DC power shelf houses the DC power input module (PIM) and
DC power input shelf (which encloses the DC power supplies). We recommend that you use only one
type of power shelf in a chassis at a time.
Chapter 2 Installing and Removing Power Components
Warning
This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to
de-energize the unit.
Statement 1028
The Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis is shipped fully populated with a power shelf that contains four
power supplies for power redundancy. See the appropriate installation section (see “Installing a DC
Power Shelf” section on page 2-14 or “Installing an AC Power Shelf” section on page 2-24) for detailed
installation information.
As viewed from the front (PLIM) side of the chassis, the left two power supplies feed output A, while
the right two power supplies feed output B.
For 2N redundancy, the power input on rear (SFC) side of the chassis should be from two different
branch sources, with the left two input connections to one branch source and the right two to the other
branch source. With this configuration the router remains fully powered in case one branch source fails.
In normal operation all power supplies should be installed.
Be sure to install the power shelf before installing the power supplies.
CautionIf you install a non-Cisco power supply in the chassis, upon its detection as a non-compliant power
supply, the system will shut down. Using non-Cisco power supplies MAY RESULT IN COMPLETE
CHASSIS SHUTDOWN due to insufficient power.
Supplemental Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines
Although the router chassis has a safety earth ground connection as part of the power cabling to the
power shelf, the chassis includes an option that allows you to connect the central office ground system
or interior equipment ground system to the supplemental bonding and grounding receptacles on the
router chassis. Two ground studs are located on the rear (SFC) side of the chassis. (see Figure 2-1). This
ground point is also called the network equipment building system (NEBS) bonding and grounding stud.
NoteThese bonding and grounding receptacles satisfy the Telcordia® NEBS requirements for supplemental
bonding and grounding connections. If you are not installing the router in a NEBS environment, you can
choose to bypass these guidelines and rely on the safety earth ground connection for the power shelf.

1NEBS bonding and grounding stud
If you plan to connect the Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis system to a network equipment building
system (NEBS)-compliant supplemental bonding and grounding system at the site, you must have the
following:
• A minimum of one ground lug that has two M6 bolt holes with 0.625-inch (15.86-mm) spacing
between them, and a wire receptacle large enough to accept a 6-AWG or larger multistrand copper
wire. The lug is similar to the type used for the DC-input power supply leads. This ground lug is not
available from Cisco Systems. This type of lug is available from electrical-connector vendors, such
as Panduit.
• Two M6 nuts with locking washers (nickel-plated brass is ideal). This hardware is not available
from Cisco Systems; they are available from any commercial hardware vendor.
• A commensurately rated ground wire. The actual wire diameter and length depend on your router
location and site environment. This wire is not available from Cisco Systems; it is available from
any commercial cable vendor.

Powering the Chassis Up or Down
The chassis does not have a single enable switch that powers the entire chassis and all its components
up and down. (These switches are called enable switches because they enable the power supplies to
produce output voltage and power). Most components on the chassis, such as the power supplies, MSCs,
FPs, PLIMs, and fan trays can be removed or installed in the chassis while it is running.
Before you can power the chassis up, you must complete the following tasks:
Chapter 2 Installing and Removing Power Components
Step 1Install the appropriate power shelf for your system (see the “Installing a DC Power Shelf” section on
page 2-14 or the “Installing an AC Power Shelf” section on page 2-24).
Step 2Install the power supplies (see the “Installing a Power Supply” section on page 2-28).
Step 3Install the route processor (RP) card (see the “Installing an RP or PRP Card” section on page 4-26).
Step 4Install the input power cables to the input power connectors on the rear of the chassis, and the other end
(plug side) to the AC or DC power source.
Step 5Activate your power source.
Step 6Turn the two power shelf enable switches on the rear (SFC) side of the power shelf (see Figure 2-7) to
the ON position.
NoteThe two enable switches on the rear (SFC) side of the AC power shelf (Figure 2-7) put the chassis in
standby mode; in other words, they only power down the -54VDC output from the power supplies.

When installing the DC power shelf, these two components are mated to create the complete DC power
shelf (see the “Installing a DC Power Shelf” section on page 2-14 for details).
The Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis DC power system provides 4,000 watts to power the chassis. (To
provide power redundancy, up to 8,000 watts are available.) Each DC-powered chassis contains four DC
power supplies for 2N redundancy. The power input module (PIM) provides the input power
connections. Note that each power connection has two cables: –48 VDC and return. The power input
module (PIM), DC power input shelf, and the power supplies are field replaceable.
The Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis requires a total of four dedicated pairs of 60-A DC input power
connections, one pair for each of the power supplies, to provide redundant DC power to the Cisco CRS
4-slot line card chassis midplane.
For full 2N redundancy, we recommend that you have two independent –48 VDC power sources to
provide power to the Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis. Connect the two 60-A DC inputs on the left to
one wiring block, and the two 60-A DC inputs on the right to the other wiring block.

Chapter 2 Installing and Removing Power Components
DC Power Shelf Guidelines
At sites where the Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis is equipped with a DC power input shelf and power
supplies, observe the following guidelines:
• All power connection wiring should follow the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and any local codes.
• Each DC-input power entry module connection is rated at 60 A maximum. A dedicated,
commensurately rated DC power source is required for each power supply connection.
• Each power supply requires one –48 VDC input, or four inputs for each power shelf (in which each
input consists of a pair of positive and negative wires), and one power-shelf grounding wire.
• For DC power cables, we recommend that you use commensurately rated, high-strand-count copper
wire cable. Each DC power supply requires one –48 VDC input, which means that there are two
wires for each power supply, or eight total wires (four pairs) for each power shelf, plus the
grounding wire. The length of the wires depends on the router’s location. These wires are not
available from Cisco Systems; they are available from any commercial vendor.
• DC power cables must be terminated by cable lugs at the power-shelf end. The lugs should be dual
hole and able to fit over M6 terminal studs at 0.625-in (15.88-mm) centers (for example, Panduit
part number LCD2-14A-Q or equivalent) (see Figure 2-9).

Color Coding of the Source DC Power Cable
The color coding of the source DC power cable leads depends on the color coding of the site DC power
source. Typically, green or green and yellow indicates that the cable is a ground cable. Because no color
code standard exists for the source DC wiring, you must ensure that the power cables are connected to
the DC-input power shelf terminal studs in the proper positive (+) polarity and negative (–) polarity.
DC Cable Polarity Labels
Sometimes, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a negative (–) label. This label is a
relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you must verify the polarity by measuring the voltage
between the DC cable leads. When making the measurement, the positive (+) lead and the negative (–)
lead must always match the (+) and (–) labels on the power shelf.

CautionThe DC-input power supplies contain circuitry to prevent damage due to reverse polarity, but you should
correct a reverse-polarity condition immediately.

Input-Power-Present LEDs
The DC power Input-Power-Present LEDs provide a visual indication to service personnel that there is
voltage present across the input terminal’s connections (see Figure 2-11). The LED provides a warning
to the service person that there is power present.
NotePower should be disconnected before servicing the input power connections. Always check for
hazardous voltage with a multimeter device before servicing the router.
Figure 2-11Input-Power-Present LEDs
DC Power Systems on the Cisco CRS 4-Slot Router
The input-power-present LED starts to light up when the input voltage reaches 20 VDC; the LED gets
brighter as voltage increases. The input-power-present LED is fully lit when the input voltage reaches
38 VDC.
NoteIf an input-power-present LED is not lit, check for: 1) the presence of voltage, and 2) the polarity
of the corresponding wiring block.
DC Power Wire Characteristics
For signal degradation to be averted, a conductor must be large enough to prevent its impedance from
creating a voltage drop equal to 2 percent of the reference voltage. Also, the gauge of the earth conductor
must be equal to or larger then that of the –48 VDC (or –48 VDC return) conductor. This latter
requirement is for safety. Full fault redundancy is achieved by having conductors of equal size for the
protective earth ground and the –48 VDC return of the switch.
For site preparation, proper wire size and insulation must be selected. For a planned power distribution,
calculation must be done prior to distribution to meet the proper voltage drop and temperature rise.
For wire gauges that prevent unacceptable voltage drops over different lengths of copper wire, see
Table 2-3. For the resistance of 1000 feet of copper wire for each gauge of wire, see Table 2 - 4. These
references are for planning purposes and might be further subject to local laws and practices.
Table 2-3 provides the gauges of wire needed for wire lengths and DC power currents. The units of
measurement are in American wire gauge (AWG).

Step 6Reinsert the No. 2 Phillips screws taken from the rear power access panels into their respective holes:
one on each side, three in front, and one underneath the chassis.
Installing the DC Power Input Shelf
CautionThe DC power input shelf can only be inserted into the chassis when all power is removed from the
chassis.
Step 7Go to the front of the chassis. To install the DC power input shelf, follow these steps:
a. To prepare the chassis for installing the DC power input shelf, remove the inlet grille from the
bottom of the chassis (for the procedure, see the “Removing the Inlet Grille” section on page 5-3).
b. Holding the DC power input shelf underneath with one hand and steadying it with the other, lift the
DC power input shelf up and slide it part way into the power shelf slot on the front (PLIM) side of
the chassis. Be sure to center the DC power input shelf in the slot when you slide it in (see
Figure 2-14).
CautionAn empty DC power input shelf weighs about 15.5 lb (7 kg). To prevent injury when lifting
the shelf, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. Avoid sudden twists
or lateral moves.
c. Slide the DC power input shelf fully into the chassis. Be sure that the lever handles are aligned with
the lever handle catches on the chassis casing.
d. To lock the power input shelf into position, lift the lever handles up.

NoteWhen wiring the power shelf, be sure to attach the ground wire first. When removing the wiring,
Step 11On the PIM, use a 10-mm hex socket wrench to hook up the DC input power cables. Connect the four
60 A DC cables (two cables per input) on the left to one wiring block, and the four 60A DC cables on
the right to the other wiring block (see Figure 2-16).
NoteThe DC input power cables should also be attached with a torque value of 30 in-lb.
Color Coding of the Source DC Power Cable. The color coding of the source DC power cable leads
depends on the color coding of the site’s DC power source. Typically, green or green and yellow
indicates that the cable is a ground cable. Because no color code standard exists for the source DC
wiring, you must ensure that the power cables are connected to the DC-input power shelf terminal studs
in the proper positive (+) polarity and negative (–) polarity.
DC Cable Polarity Labels. Sometimes, the source DC cable leads might have a positive (+) or a
negative (–) label. This label is a relatively safe indication of the polarity, but you must verify the
polarity by measuring the voltage between the DC cable leads. When making the measurement, the
positive (+) lead and the negative (–) lead must always match the (+) and (–) labels on the power shelf.
Chapter 2 Installing and Removing Power Components
be sure to remove the ground wire last. The ground wire must be attached with a torque value of
30 in-lb.

About Line Card Chassis Airflow
The Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis has a single fan tray containing four fans that cool the chassis
card cage. Cool air flows in at the bottom front of the chassis and flows through the chassis card cage
and through the fans in the fan tray before being exhausted through the top rear of the chassis (see
Figure 3-1).
CHAP T ER

OL-10971-10
In addition, each power module at the bottom of the chassis has self-contained fans that pull in cool air
from the front of the chassis and exhaust warm air out the rear. There is parallel path for airflow through
the fabric cards.

A replaceable air filter is located inside the chassis below the PLIM card cage at an angle. In addition,
there is a removable air filter on the front of the power tray air intake grille on the front (PLIM) side of
the chassis. (See Figure 3-2.)
Air Filter Replacement Frequency Recommendation
How often the air filters should be replaced depends on the facility environment. In a dirty environment,
or when you start getting frequent temperature alarms, you should always check the intake grilles for
debris, and then check the air filters to see if they need to be replaced.

Guidelines for Card Installation and Removal
This section contains the general guidelines for card installation and removal.
Online insertion and removal (OIR) is supported, enabling you to remove and install cards while the
Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis is operating. OIR is seamless to users on the network, maintains all
routing information, and ensures session preservation. Notifying the software or resetting the power is
not required. However, you have the option of using the shutdown command before removing a card.
The different cards in the line card chassis are all attached to the chassis itself using a pair of ejector
levers and captive screws. The two ejector levers release the card from its midplane connector. The exact
location of the ejector levers and captive screws varies slightly from card to card, but are in general in
the same location: on the upper and bottom of the faceplate of the card. Figure 4-1 shows the location of
the ejector levers and captive screws on an MSC.

Recommended Order for Installing Cards
Although it is not critical for you to install the cards in a certain order, following the card installation
recommendations in this section will make your installation process easier. We recommend that you
install cards in the Cisco CRS 4-slot chassis in the following order:
• Switch fabric cards (SFCs)
CautionRemoving more than one switch fabric card at a time can misalign the chassis and may damage the card
or chassis when reinserting the cards. Remove and reinsert only one card at a time.
• Route processors (RPs) or performance route processors (PRPs)

NoteSee the instructions in this chapter for details on how to install the individual cards.
Guidelines
When you install or remove cards on the Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis, follow these guidelines:
• Do not operate the Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis with any slots completely empty; doing so can
lead to an airflow bypass condition that diverts airflow from slots containing heat-generating
electronics. This situation can cause thermal alarms to occur at lower-than-expected ambient
temperatures. To avoid airflow bypass, make sure that all slots are filled with their appropriate cards
or impedance carriers. If you have to replace a card, we recommend leaving the card in place in the
chassis until you are ready to install the new one.
• When you remove a card, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the connector pins disconnect
from the midplane in the sequence expected by the router.
• To lessen the possibility of damaging the connectors on the chassis midplane, you should visually
inspect the connector pins on the cards before you insert them into the chassis.
PCMCIA Cards
Optional and replaceable PCMCIA cards are available for the RP cards. The RP cards provide two
PCMCIA flash slots, each card providing up to 1 GB of flash storage. One of the PCMCIA flash
subsystems is accessible externally, is removable, and allows you to transfer system images and
configurations by plugging in a PCMCIA flash card. The other subsystem is fixed to the RP, is not
removable, and is used for permanent storage of configurations and system images.
NoteOnly the original route processor (RP) card uses a PCMCIA card. The performance route processor
(PRP) card has a USB connector for using a flash drive.
Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) Modules
The SFP module for the Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis uses the bale-clasp latch type.
CautionProtect the SFP modules by inserting clean dust covers into them after the cables are removed from them.
Be sure to clean the optic surfaces of the fiber cables before you plug them back into the optical ports
of another SFP module. Avoid getting dust and other contaminants into the optical ports of the SFP
modules: The optics do not work correctly when obstructed with dust.
NoteShared port adapters (SPAs) and the 16-port OC-48c/STM-16c PLIM use SFP modules.

Cable Management Brackets
The Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis includes a cable management system that organizes the interface
cables entering and exiting the different cards, keeping them out of the way and free of sharp bends.
CautionExcessive bending of interface cables can damage the cables.
The Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis arrives preinstalled with a horizontal cable management bracket
on the front of the chassis; this bracket cannot be removed or replaced.
Figure 4-3 shows the chassis cable management bracket.

Step 1Go to the rear of the chassis. Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash
to one of the ESD connection sockets on the rear (SFC) side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the
chassis.
Step 2Remove the switch fabric card from its antistatic packaging.
Step 3Use a medium Phillips screwdriver to remove the switch fabric card from its protective carrier.
Step 4Visually inspect the connector pins on the card before you insert it into the chassis.
NoteDo not attempt to install a card with bent pins, because this may damage the chassis midplane
connectors.
Step 5Identify the card slot in the card cage where the switch fabric card should be installed.
a. If there is an impedance carrier in the slot, remove it (see the “Removing an Impedance Carrier”
section on page 4-10.)
b. If there is a switch fabric card already installed in the slot, remove the card (see the “Removing a
Switch Fabric Card” section on page 4-22).
Step 6Grasp the face plate of the card with one hand and place your other hand under the card to support and
guide it into the correct slot.
Step 7Orient the route processor card so that the status display is on top, then position the card for insertion
into the card cage slot. Avoid touching the card circuitry or any connectors.
How to Install or Remove a Switch Fabric Card
NoteThere are alignment grooves on each slot in the card cage. When you install a card, make sure
that you align both the top and bottom edges of the card carrier in the slot grooves.
Step 8Grasp both card ejector levers simultaneously, then push them both outward until they are fully extended
in the open position.
Step 9Carefully slide the switch fabric card into the slot until the ejector levers meet the edges of the card cage,
then stop when the ejector lever hooks catch the lip of the card cage. If they do not catch, try reinserting
the switch fabric card until the ejector lever hooks are fully latched.
Step 10To fully seat the card in the midplane connector, grasp both card ejector levers simultaneously, then push
them both inward until they are flush against the front edge of the card carrier.
CautionVerify that the openings on the card ejector cams pass over the tabs; otherwise, one or both
ejector levers may bind when you attempt to close the levers, thereby damaging or breaking
one or both of them.
NoteSwitch fabric cards have guide pins that make initial contact with the midplane connector as you
slide a card into its slot. After the guide pins make contact, continue pushing the card carrier
until the card ejector levers begin pivoting forward.
Step 11To seat the card firmly in the slot, use the screwdriver to tighten the captive screws.

Removing a Switch Fabric Card
This section describes how to remove a switch fabric card from the Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis.
For more detailed information on the switch fabric card, see Cisco CRS Series Carrier Routing System 4-Slot Line Card Chassis System Description.
Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this task.
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools to perform this task:
• ESD-preventive wrist strap
• Number 1 Phillips screwdriver
Steps
To remove a switch fabric card, see Figure 4-14 and follow these steps:
Step 1Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the ESD connection
sockets on the rear (SFC) side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the chassis.
CautionRemoving more than one switch fabric card at a time can misalign the chassis and may damage the card
or chassis when reinserting the cards. Remove and insert only one switch fabric card at a time.
Step 2Identify the switch fabric card to be removed from the card cage. Use the screwdriver to turn the two
captive screws on the front panel of the card counterclockwise to loosen it from the slot.
Step 3To unseat the card from the midplane connector, grasp the two card ejector levers and simultaneously
pivot both ejector levers outward from the front edge of the card slot. As you pivot the ejector levers
outward, the switch fabric card is partially pulled from the slot.

Understanding the LEDs
Alphanumeric LEDs
At one end of the faceplate, near an ejector lever, a switch fabric card has an alphanumeric LED display
that shows a sequence of messages indicating the state of the card.
NoteIt is normal for some displayed messages to appear too briefly in the LED display to be read.
Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs, located on the switch fabric card faceplate, to verify the correct installation of the
card:
• When the card is properly installed, the Status LED turns green. If this LED is off, make sure that
the card is installed correctly.
• When the Status is blinking yellow, a problem exists on the board.
• When the Status is off, the board state is unknown. Verify that there is power to the board by looking
at the indicators on the power module.
• If there is a failure during the board boot sequence, the two-row, four-character alphanumeric
display indicates the current boot phase, to assist you in debugging the board failure.
Chapter 4 Installing and Removing SFCs, RPs, MSCs, FPs, LSPs, PLIMs, and Associated Components
Troubleshooting the Switch Fabric Card
If the installed or replaced switch fabric card fails to operate or to power up on installation:
• Make sure that the card is seated firmly in the Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis slot. One easy way
to verify physical installation is to see whether the front faceplate of the switch fabric card is even
with the fronts of the other cards installed in the card cage.
• Check whether the ejector levers are latched and that the captive screws are fastened properly. If
you are uncertain, unlatch the levers, loosen the screws, and attempt to reseat the switch fabric card.
• Examine the alarm LEDs to see if there are any active alarm conditions.
• Examine the power shelves to see whether the chassis, as a whole, is receiving power.

How to Install or Remove a Route Processor Card
Installing an RP or PRP Card
This section describes how to install a route processor (RP) or performance route processor (PRP) card
in the chassis (see Figure 4-17). For more detailed information on the route processor card, see Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System 4-Slot Line Card Chassis System Description.
Every Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis contains two RP or PRP cards in dedicated slots on the front
(PLIM) side of the chassis (see Figure 4-17).
NoteA chassis may not be populated with a mix of RP and PRP cards. Both route processor cards should be
of the same type (RP or PRP).
NoteFor enhanced immunity to external electromagnetic disturbance levels of 10V per meter and 10 V RMS,
you must use a shielded Ethernet (CAT5 or better STP) cable on the Management Ethernet connection
of the RP card (CRS-4-RP) or PRP card (CRS-4-PRP-6G or CRS-4-PRP-12G).
Chapter 4 Installing and Removing SFCs, RPs, MSCs, FPs, LSPs, PLIMs, and Associated Components
RP Installation Guidelines
Chassis operation may be effected by the installation of a route processor card. A route processor card
is normally installed under one of the following conditions:
• When you are certain that the second RP in the chassis is operational and, if not already the active
RP, ready to assume control (this happens automatically).
• When the chassis is undergoing scheduled maintenance.
• When the Cisco CRS 4-slot line card chassis is powered down.
Monitoring the RP Card Start-Up Process
Monitoring the RP card during its start-up process must be done through a console port connection. For
details, see the latest release of the Cisco IOS XR Getting Started Guide on www.cisco.com.
To monitor the RP card during its start-up, follow these steps:
Step 1Install the console port connection to the front of the RP.
TipIf you want to monitor the start-up process on the RP, you must physically attach the console
port connection and open the console port connection prior to inserting the RP into its designated
slot.
Step 2Insert the RP into its designated slot as described in this section.
Step 3At the console, verify the status of the RP.
