Removing and Replacing a Switch Fabric Card

Use the following procedure to remove and replace a SFC.

Caution Two CSCs are required to remove and replace a SFC while the system remains powered on. If the router has a non-redundant configuration and only one CSC is installed, you must power off the router before removing the SFC.

Step 1 Loosen the captive screw on each side of the SFC faceplate (Figure 5-33).
