Installation Prerequisites • When you remove a processor module, place it component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. Immediately place the module in a static shielding bag if you need to return it to the factory. • Avoid contact between electronic equipment and clothing. Antistatic straps only protect the equipment from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage. Caution For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the anti

Installation Prerequisites Caution Before using a Flash memory card previously formatted and used in an RSP, RSP7000, RSP1, RSP2, or RSP4, you must reformat the Flash memory card. Flash memory cards formatted on any of these processors do not work properly in an RSP8. You must first reformat it on your RSP8 system. Refer to Flash Memory Card Installation Instructions for instructions on reformatting Flash memory. You must also format any flash disk for the RSP8 on an RSP8. Also see the Using t

Installing the RSP8 Step 3 If you are replacing the RSP8, disconnect any devices that are attached to the console or auxiliary ports. If you are removing the RSP8 for maintenance and will reinstall the same one, you can leave the devices attached provided that doing so will not strain the cables. Step 4 Use a screwdriver to loosen the two captive installation screws. (See Figure 3.) Step 5 Place your thumbs on the ends of each of the ejector levers and simultaneously pull them both outward, aw

Installing the RSP8 Step 7 Place the removed RSP8 on an antistatic mat or foam. If you plan to return the RSP8 to the factory, immediately place it in an antistatic bag to prevent ESD damage. Step 8 Attach the equipment end of the ESD-preventive strap to the RSP8 before performing any maintenance on the RSP8 that might create an ESD hazard. This completes the removal procedure. If you removed the RSP8 to replace DIMMs, proceed to the “Replacing and Upgrading DRAM DIMMs” section on page 74. If

Installing the RSP8 Figure 4 Handling the RSP8 During Removal and Installation Caution To prevent damage to the backplane, you must install the RSP8 in one of the two RSP slots on the router. The slots are keyed for correct installation. Forcing the RSP8 into a different slot can damage the backplane and the RSP8. Step 3 While keeping the RSP8 parallel to the backplane, carefully slide the carrier into the slot until the RSP8 faceplate makes contact with the ejector levers, and then stop. (See

Installing the RSP8 Connecting a Console Terminal The system console port on the RSP8 is a DB-25 receptacle DCE port for connecting a console terminal, which you need to configure in order to communicate with your system. The console port is located on the RSP8 just below the auxiliary port, as shown in Figure 5, and is labeled Console. Before connecting the console port, check the documentation for your terminal to determine the baud rate of the terminal you are using. The baud rate of the te
