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

Caution Removing more than one switch fabric card at a time can misalign the chassis and may damage the card or chassis when reinserting the cards. Remove and insert only one switch fabric card at a time.

Step 2 Identify the switch fabric card to be removed from the card cage. Use the screwdriver to turn the two captive screws on the front panel of the card counterclockwise to loosen it from the slot.

Step 3 To unseat the card from the midplane connector, grasp the two card ejector levers and simultaneously pivot both ejector levers outward from the front edge of the card slot. As you pivot the ejector levers outward, the switch fabric card is partially pulled from the slot.
