Cisco recommends using an ESD-preventive strap whenever you are handling network equipment or one of its components.
Some of the procedures in the following sections use illustrations of a 10-slot Note Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router to support the descriptions of removing and installing modular line cards. Although the card cages of Cisco ASR 9000 Aggregation Services Routers differ, the designated use of slots and the process of installing and removing a MLC are basically the same.
Detach the cable-management bracket from the MLC. Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive screw at each end of the MLC faceplate. (See callout 1 on Figure 2-6). Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Ethernet Line Card Installation Guide 2-15...

Excessive bending of interface cables can damage the cables. Caution Cable Management Tray A cable-management tray is mounted at the top of the Cisco ASR 9010 Router chassis for routing interface cables to the RSP and line cards. Figure 2-40 shows a typical cable routing through the cable-management tray.

During a typical line card boot process, the following events occur: The line card receives power and begins executing initialization software. The line card performs internal checks, and prepares to accept the Cisco IOS XR software from the RSP. Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Ethernet Line Card Installation Guide...
Green Line card has booted properly, and is ready to pass or is passing traffic. Steady Amber Line card boot process is underway. When the Cisco IOS XR software finishes loading, the LED turns green. Blinking Amber Software configuration error has occurred that prevents the line card from passing traffic.
If the Card Status LED goes on when the line card is installed in the new slot, suspect a failed backplane port in the original line card slot. Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router Ethernet Line Card Installation Guide...
If an error message displays on the console terminal during the line card initialization, see the appropriate reference publication for error message definitions. If you experience other problems that you cannot solve, contact a Cisco service representative for assistance. If you perform online insertion or removal of the SFP or XFP module without shutting down the Note interface, a warning message is displayed on the console device.
Instance numbers are reserved for cards that have subslots. This parameter is currently always 0 (zero) for line cards in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series. The ports on the line card are numbered 0, 1, 2, and so on. For example, the rack/slot/instance/port address of the fourth port of a line card installed in line card slot 1 is 0/1/0/3.
Step 7 If you want to disable the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), which is not required, use this command: RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# no cdp Add any other configuration subcommands required to enable routing protocols and adjust the interface Step 8 characteristics.

Ethernet line cards using GLC-GE-100FX SFP transceiver modules are installed in the router. This is due to the lower temperature specifications of the SFP module. Please contact a Cisco representative for more information. 2. Short term operating temperature specifications for the router will differ from those listed in this table when the 16-port 10-Gigabit Ethernet line card is installed in the router because of the lower temperature specifications of the SFP+ modules that are used in this line card.
