The switch fabric card cage is located behind the air filter door on the front of the
chassis. The card cage has five keyed, vertical card slots for the CSCs and SFCs.
CSCs are installed in the left two card slots (labeled CSC 0 and 1); SFCs are
installed in the right three card slots (labeled SFC 0, 1, and 2).
Use the following procedure to remove and replace switch fabric cards.
Loosen the captive screws on the air filter door and pivot the door open
(Figure 7-10).
If the router uses an extended front cover bezel, the air filter door does not have
enough space to open completely. Before you open the air filter door, you must
remove the extended front cover.
