Warning: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or foot-heel ground strap when handling line cards. Place line cards on an antistatic surface when they are not installed.

Caution: Unlock the levers before inserting the line card into the chassis. Fully engage the locking mechanism once the card has been inserted; not doing so will cause damage to the card below when that card is inserted.

Step Task

1Extend the left and right card levers by first pressing gently down on the thumb tabs (see Figure 2) in the ejector levers and then pulling the ejector levers simultaneously until they are in the open position. See Figure 3.

Figure 2 Depress the thumb tabs

Figure 3 Extend the levers

2Hold the card assembly by the metal carrier edges. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector pins.

3Align the card with the guide, and gently slide it into any line card slot until the card is about halfway into the slot.

Installation Notes: Use the markings on the fan tray to determine which slots are for the RPMs and which are for the line cards.
