Chapter 9 Installing RPMs, Line Cards,

and SFMs

This chapter provides instructions for installing cards into the E1200i AC or DC chassis. It contains the following sections:

Unpacking an RPM or Line Card

Installing Line Cards and RPMs

Preparing and Installing RPMs and Line Cards

RPM Label and LEDs

Installing Switch Fabric Modules (SFMs)

Line Card Cable Management Systems

Unpacking an RPM or Line Card

Warning:

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or foot-heel ground strap when handling RPMs, SFMs, or line cards. Connect your ESD strap to the grounding plug located on the front of the chassis. See Figure 2 for ESD strap connector location. After you remove the original packaging, place RPMs, SFMs, and line cards on an antistatic surface.

Do not supply power to your E1200i system until the power supplies and fan tray(s) are installed and verified, and RPMs, SFMs, line cards, and any blank panels are installed.

Force10 Networks recommends that you keep all components in the original packaging until you are ready to install them.

Important Points to Remember

Do NOT remove the cards from their protective bags until you are ready to install them in a chassis.

When you are ready to install the cards, unwrap and install one card at a time, starting with the right-most slot (Slot 13 for line cards, Slot R1 for RPMs, and Slot 9 for SFMs) ending with the left-most slot (Slot 0 for line cards, Slot R0 for RPMs, and Slot 0 for SFMs).
