Removing the Line Card

This section describes how to remove a line card.
Important
Step 1 Detach any cables that are attached to the line card. The end of each cable should be labelled with its destination. Replace
any missing labels prior to removal.
Step 2 Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to loosen the screws at the top and bottom of the line card's front panel.
Step 3 Slide the interlock switch on the front panel of the line card downward.
To avoid damaging the card's interlock switch, ensure that it is completely down before proceeding.
Caution
To minimize the risk of data loss, ensure that all LEDs on the line card are Off (extinguished) prior to removing
the card from the chassis.
Step 4 Pull the ejector levers outward, firmly and straight, until the card is unseated from the chassis.
Step 5 Holding the card by its ejector levers, gently slide the card out of the chassis.
Before removing and replacing a line card on an active system, refer to the System Administration Guide
for instructions on how to switch services to a redundant (standby) card.
