Removing and Installing the ISA and the ISM
This chapter describes how to remove the ISA or ISM from supported platforms and also how to install
a new or replacement ISA or ISM. This chapter contains the following sections:
• Handling the ISA or the ISM, page 3-1
• Online Insertion and Removal, page 3-2
• Warnings and Cautions, page 3-3
• ISA or ISM Removal and Installation, page 3-4
The ISA and the ISM circuit boards are mounted to metal carriers and are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) damage.
Note When a port adapter slot or service module slot is not in use, a blank port adapter or service module must
fill the empty slot to allow the router to conform to electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions
requirements and to allow proper airflow. If you plan to install a new ISA or ISM in a slot that is not in
use, you must first remove the blank port adapter or blank service module.
Caution When powering off the router, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before powering it on again.
Handling the ISA or the ISM
Caution Always handle the ISA or the ISM by the carrier edges and handle; never touch the components or
connector pins. (See Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2.)
