Line cards on the PTX10004 are field-replaceable units (FRUs) that can be installed in any of the line-card
slots on the front of the chassis. The line cards are hot-insertable and hot-removable: you can remove and
replace them without powering off the router or disrupting router functions.
How to Handle and Store PTX10004 Line Cards
The PTX10004 line cards have fragile components. To avoid damaging the line cards, be sure you follow
safe handling practices.
How to Hold PTX10004 Line Cards
Pay proper attention to the way you hold the line cards. Line cards are installed horizontally, and it is best
to hold them by the sides of the units when they are not in the chassis.
When you walk with a line card in hand:
1. Orient the line card so that the faceplate is toward you.
2. Grasp each side of the unit firmly as you slide the unit out of the chassis.
3. Take care not to strike the unit against any object as you carry it.
