Removing Line Cards
Warning: Do not remove a panel blank unless you are ready to install a line card into that slot. After removing a line card, immediately place a panel blank in the empty slot. Blanks are required to control airflow and electromagnetic interference.
Step Task
1Unplug the network interface cables connected to the line card.
2Extend the left and right card levers by first pressing gently down on the thumb tabs (see Figure 6) in the ejector levers and then pulling the ejector levers simultaneously until they are in the open position. See Figure 7.
Figure 6 Depress the thumb tabs.
Figure 7 Extend the levers.
3Pull the card by the card levers until it is out of the slot. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins.
4If you are not replacing the card immediately, install a blank panel.
