Installing the controller card

3.	For IC U6 — Use a PLCC IC puller to remove the existing firmware IC.
	Squeeze the tool to align its hooks with the slots in opposite corners of socket
	U6. Insert the hooks, squeeze gently, and pull the IC straight out of the socket.
	Set the IC aside.
4.	For ICs U1 and U2 — Use your fingertips to grasp the edges of the existing
	firmware IC and pull the IC straight out of the socket. Set the IC aside.
5.	Note the key (notch) of the new firmware IC. Orient the IC to match the key
	on the socket, and carefully press the IC in place.
6.	If the controller card was removed from a switcher, reinstall the controller
	card, see “Installing the controller card” in this chapter.

NThe controller cards are hot-swappable. You do not need to power down the switcher to install a controller card.

1.	If necessary, open and remove the front door.
2.	If necessary, turn the left and right knurled knobs on the fan assembly door
	¼-turn counterclockwise. Raise the door and rest it on the roof of the power
	distribution enclosure.

CDo not touch the electronic components or the connectors on the power distribution plane or on the circuit cards without being electrically grounded. Handle cards by their edges only. ESD can damage ICs, even if you cannot feel, see, or hear it.

3.	Orient the card to be installed so that the connector is on top (figure 6-11).
4.	Pivot the ejector handle out and away from the center of the card.
5.	Identify the correct location for the card. Align the top and bottom edges of
	the card with the guides. Gently slide the card into the cardcage ensuring that
	the bottom edge slides into the bottom guide. Continue sliding the card into
	the guides until the ejector handle contacts the guide frame.
6.	Gently pivot the ejector lever in and down to seat the card in the power
	distribution plane.
7.	If the card installed is a replacement, set the DIP switches on the rear edge of
	the card to the same setting as the card that was removed from this location.
8.	Close the fan assembly door and turn the left and right knurled knobs ¼-turn
	clockwise.

CEnsure that you close and secure the fan assembly door when you have finished this maintenance procedure. The Matrix 12800 may overheat otherwise.

9.	Close the front door.
