Note: Refer to “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page4-1.
Note: If multiple cards are to be removed, label and record the position of each card and its associated
I/O cable.
1. If the interposer card is a switch interposer, remove the I/O cable.
vOnly switch interposer cards have an attached I/O cable
2. Loosen the captive screw holding the card retention bracket to the switch chassis.
3. Swing the bracket out and remove it from the switch chassis.
4. Remove the interposer card from its slot by pulling outward on the hot-plug actuator handle.
Replacing an interposer card

5. Hook the card retention bracket to the chassis and swing the bracket closed.
vMake certain all actuator handles are inside the bracket.
6. Secure the card retention bracket by tightening the captive screw.
7. If this was a switch interposer card, reconnect the I/O cable.
8. Return to the procedure that directed you here.
Removing the switch planar
Attention: Removal of the switch planar involves the removal of the switch’s externally accessible
plug-in assemblies. Do not attempt to remove the planar from the chassis.
Note: Refer to “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page4-1.
1. Place the switch in service position.
vRefer to “Placing an SP Switch2 into service position” on page3-10.
2. Remove all fan assemblies.
vRefer to “Removing a fan assembly” on page4-2.
3. Remove all power supplies.
vRefer to “Removing a power supply” on page4-3.
4. Remove all installed interposer cards.
vRefer to “Removing an interposer card” on page4-6.
5. Remove the switch supervisor card.
