cards might lose their configurations if the new controller card is
designated as the active card when you power on the chassis.

section.
3. Install the new controller card. For instructions, refer to “Installing the
AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card” on page 112.

faceplate of the card.
3. Carefully pull out the handles of the faceplate to disconnect the
controller card from the connector on the backplane of the chassis.
4. Carefully slide the controller card from the chassis.
