Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card

Removing the DFC3 Daughter Card from Modules Without Stiffener Brackets

To remove the DFC3 daughter card from modules that are not equipped with a stiffener bracket, follow these steps:

Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94

Step 1 Attach an ESD grounding strap to your wrist and to ground. (If you are unsure about the correct way to attach an ESD grounding strap, refer tothe “Attaching Your ESD Grounding Strap” section on page 40 for instructions.)

Step 2 Remove the Ethernet module from the Catalyst 6500 series switch. (If you are unsure about the correct procedure for removing a module from the switch chassis, refer to the “Removing and Installing Modules in the Chassis” section on page 32 for removal instructions.)

Step 3 Place the Ethernet module on an antistatic mat with the front of the module facing toward you.

Step 4 If your DFC daughter card has a small metal installation bracket as shown in Figure 3, use a No.1 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two cap nuts and the one screw securing the bracket. Set them aside with the bracket. If there is no bracket, just remove the two cap nuts and the one screw.

Step 5 Remove the remaining securing screws. (See Figure 3.)
