Installing Carrier Cards

Caution

The carrier cards that carry the DFCs are not hot swappable. Removing a carrier card while the system is still

 

 

powered on may cause permanent damage to electronic circuits on the card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Warning

Before opening the chassis, disconnect the telephone-network cables to avoid contact with telephone-network

 

 

voltages. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance

 

 

and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

 

 

 

 

 

Warning

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity. To see translations

 

 

of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information

 

 

document that accompanied this device.

 

 

 

Installing a Carrier Card

If you need to install a carrier card, follow this procedure:

Step 1

Make sure the chassis is powered off.

 

 

 

 

Warning

 

Before working on a chassis or working near power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units; disconnect the

 

 

 

power at the circuit breaker on DC units. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this publication, refer

 

 

 

to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Step 2

 

 

Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap.

Step 3

Slide the carrier card into the slot until it touches the backplane connector.
