Cisco Systems 12012 Removing the Cards From the Lower Card Cage, Q OC-3/STM-POS, OC-12/STM-4 ATM

Removing and Replacing a Card Cage Assembly

Step 3 Loosen the two captive screws at the top and bottom of the alarm card. (Refer to Figure 8a.)

Note Unlike the line cards and RP, the alarm card does not have card ejector levers. The alarm card backplane connector is smaller, has fewer pins, and is easier to seat and unseat than the line cards and the RP.

Step 4 Using a flat-blade screwdriver, gently pry at the top and bottom of the alarm card carrier to unseat the card from the backplane connector.

Step 5 Grasp the card carrier edge with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support it (refer to Figure 8b.) Slide the alarm card out of the card slot and place it immediately on the antistatic mat.

Step 1 Attach an antistatic wrist strap to yourself and to one of the two ESD connection sockets located on the front edges of the upper card cage or to bare metal on the frame.
