Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation
Removing RJ-45 Cables
To remove line card cables, follow these steps (refer to Figure44 on page 58):
Step1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap to your wrist and follow its instructions for use.
Step2 Disconnect the interface cable connectors from the line card interface ports.
Note You do not have to remove the interface cables from the line card cable-management bracket.
Step3 Use a screwdriver to loosen the captive installation screws at the ends of the line card cable-management
bracket.
Step4 Detach the line card cable-management bracket and optical fiber cable bundle from the line card and
place it carefully out of the way.
Installing RJ-45 Cables
Insert the RJ-45 connector into an open port until the connector clicks and locks into place. Attach one
cable between each line card interface and the device to which the line card is connected. Figure44
shows the relationship between the RJ-45 interface on the line card and the cable connector.

After installing the hardware, you need to look at the LEDs to verify that the Ethernet line card was
installed correctly. If it was not, you need to troubleshoot to find the problem. The following sections
provide information about how to verify and troubleshoot line card installations:
