•Replace any front cover cosmetic plates and verify that the card has been installed properly (see the “Verifying the Installation of a Switch Fabric Card” section on page 4-28).

Removing a Switch Fabric Card

This section describes how to remove a switch fabric card from the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis. For more detailed information on the switch fabric card, see Cisco CRS Series Carrier Routing System 8-Slot Line Card Chassis System Description.

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 4-19).
