Before installing any line card or supervisor engine, inspect both the chassis and the line card
connectors and verify that they are not damaged. If damage is present, do not insert the linecard(s)
into the chassis. A case should be opened with Cisco TAC to further troubleshoot the problem.
Take care to insert the linecard through the appropriate guides provided along the sides of the
chassis. Failure to do can result in connector damage and a non-functional chassis.
Verify that the module is properly aligned before inserting it gently into the chassis.
