How to Install or Remove a Switch Fabric Card

The switch fabric card is used only in single-chassis systems. The switch fabric card does not contain any fiber-optic connectors because it is not connected to any other switch fabric modules (see Figure 4-17).

Prerequisites

Before performing this task, remove any front cover plates from the chassis, and remove any switch fabric card or switch fabric impedance cover from the slot in which you plan on installing the switch fabric card. See the “Information About Impedance Carriers and Slot Covers” section on page 4-6and the “Removing a Switch Fabric Card” section on page 4-26.

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 reinsert only one card at a time.
