Note: An interposer card may be either a:

vSwitch interposer

vBlank interposer

1.Position and hold the interposer card at the far end of the hot-plug actuator.

2.Insert the far end of the actuator into the actuator guides of the interposer slot.

3.Push the actuator to the end of the guide track.

4.Seat the interposer card into its switch planar jack by pushing the actuator handle inward.

5.Hook the card retention bracket to the chassis and swing the bracket closed. v Make certain all actuator handles are inside the bracket.

6.Secure the card retention bracket by tightening the captive screw.

7.If this was a switch interposer card, reconnect the I/O cable.

8.Return to the procedure that directed you here.

Removing the switch planar

Attention: Removal of the switch planar involves the removal of the switch's externally accessible plug-in assemblies. Do not attempt to remove the planar from the chassis.

Note: Refer to ªHandling static-sensitive devicesº on page 4-1.

1.Place the switch in service position.

v Refer to ªPlacing an SP Switch2 into service positionº on page 3-10.

2.Remove all fan assemblies.

v Refer to ªRemoving a fan assemblyº on page 4-2.

3.Remove all power supplies.

v Refer to ªRemoving a power supplyº on page 4-3.

4.Remove all installed interposer cards.

v Refer to ªRemoving an interposer cardº on page 4-6.

5.Remove the switch supervisor card.

v Refer to ªRemoving the switch supervisor cardº on page 4-5.

6.The switch planar in now considered to be removed.

Note: The new planar assembly is supplied as a chassis mounted unit.
