I used to do tech work and hand off stuff like this to our repair
guy...messed up heat sinks like this one, along with dead memory, were
problems that I saw more than anything else. If Cisco doesn't take care of
it, hit me off list and I'll put you in touch with someone that can do

If cisco gives you grief I'd love to hear about it.

That's a fairly common (but seems to me stupid) design. Basically a U
shaped jumper block used to anchor springs holding a heat sink in place.
My home desktop motherboard had one pull out just like that. I superglued
it back in place and the repair outlasted the rest of the board (a few

We've had one of those, was accepted for RMA without any further questions

One year after the original post, i "finally" met the same issue on a
6748-GE-TX card.
Anyone got any complaints from Cisco about RMAing it?

I have had it occur on a couple of (older) 67xx cards. Looking
at the board, it appeared that the solder joint holding the
loop had the classic appearance of a cold solder joint (it
looked brittle and crystallized).

Pardon the crappy cellphone pic...but

We experienced the same problem on a number of 6748 blades, and requested
failure analysis from Cisco (report below).
We were performing a chassis swap, and the heatsink/fin/whatever literally
fell off upon card removal, which led to the discovery of the faulty bracket
on multiple cards -- but not

It seems like a design flaw, with the spring being too much for the
soldered wire loop. Has anybody else seen this? If so, with how many
cards & of what types?
