Removing A Fabric Card - Cisco NCS 4000 Series Hardware Installation

Removing and Replacing Chassis Components
1 - Direction and location of removal
2 - Ejector levers
Procedure
Step 1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the two ESD jacks located
on the front or rear side of the chassis. You can also connect the ESD-preventive wrist strap leash to any bare
metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2 Identify the card to be removed from the card cage. Remove any cables connected to the front panel of the
card.
Step 3 Press the OIR buttons to unlock the ejectors.
Step 4 Use the number-2 Phillips screwdriver or number-2 common (flat-head) screwdriver to turn the two captive
screws on the front panel of the card counterclockwise to loosen the card from the slot.
Caution
Step 5
Simultaneously pivot the ejector levers away from the faceplate to release the RP card from the backplane
connectors.
Step 6 Grasp the two card ejector levers and simultaneously pivot both ejector levers 90 degrees away from the front
edge of the card carrier to unseat the card from the backplane connector.
Step 7 Grasp the ejector levers with both hands and gently pull the RP card halfway from the slot.
Step 8 Move one hand under the RP card to guide it. Avoid touching the RP card printed circuit board, components,
or any connector pins.
Step 9 Touching only the metal card carrier, slide the card from the slot and place it directly into an antistatic sack
or other ESD-preventive container. If you plan to return a defective card to the factory, repackage it in the
shipping container that you received with the replacement card.
