Card Replacement Process
Step 2 Route the antenna cables under the WMIC, as shown in Figure 2-7.
Figure 2-7 Routing the Antenna Cables Under the WMIC
Routing the antenna cables under the WMIC allows them to reach the antenna connectors on the antenna
end cap.
Step 3 Verify that all ISA and PCI connector pins on the card are straight and not bent.
Step 4 Add the WMIC to the stack by aligning the ISA and PCI connecto rs and firmly pressing the card in place.
• If there are no WMICs on the card stack, connect the WMIC to the MRPC at the bottom of the stack.
• If you are installing a second WMIC (WMIC 2), connect it to the FESMIC on t op of the card stack.
• If you are installing a third WMIC (WMIC 3), connect it to WMIC 2 on top of the card stack.
Replacing a WMIC
To replace a WMIC, follow these steps:
Step 1 Carefully remove from the card stack the WMIC card that you want to replace. Use a flat blade
screwdriver to loosen up the card.
• To replace WMIC 1 or WMIC 3, just remove the card from the bottom or top of the st ack.
• To replace WMIC 2, first remove WMIC 3 from the top of the stack. Then remove WMIC 2.
Step 2 Install the new WMIC in place of the old one, as described in the “Adding a New WMIC” section on
page 2-7.
If you are replacing WMIC 2, first install WMIC 2 on top of the FESMIC. Then install WM IC 3 on top
of WMIC 2.
