How to Remove or Install a Card Slide-Assistance Arm (Handle)

Prerequisites

No prerequisites exist for this task.

Caution Do not lift cards by the slide-assistance arm. Rotate cards onto their vertical axes, then lift them from the bottom, using the slide-assistance arm only as an aid for balance.

Required Tools and Equipment

You need the following tools and part to perform this task:

ESD-preventive wrist strap

Small Phillips screwdriver.

Steps

To remove a slide-assistance arm, follow these steps:

Step 1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the ESD connection sockets on the front (PLIM) side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the chassis.

Step 2 Using the small Phillips screwdriver, turn the two captive screws (one top, one bottom) on the slide-assistance arm counter-clockwise to detach the arm from the card face.

Step 3 Set the slide-assistance arm carefully aside. We recommend storing it in the original Cisco packaging.

What to Do Next

After performing this task, you may install or remove the card as necessary.
