OIR button
Step 2
Remove the S2 FC from its antistatic packaging.
Step 3
Determine the FC slot where the card will be installed. For a description of the slot locations, see
6000 FCC Slot
Step 4
Orient the FC according to the up arrow on the faceplate.
Note
If the card does not slide easily into the slot during installation, the orientation may be wrong or the slot is not
for an S2 FC.
Step 5
Place one hand under the card to support and position the card for insertion into the card cage slot. Avoid touching the
card circuitry or any connectors.
Alignment grooves exist on each slot in the card cage. When you install a card in the card cage, make sure that
Note
you align both edges of the card carrier in the slot grooves.
Step 6
Press the OIR buttons on the top and bottom of the card faceplate to release the ejectors.
Step 7
Carefully slide the card into the slot until the ejector levers meet the edges of the card cage, and then stop when the
ejector lever hooks catch the card cage. If they do not catch, try reinserting the card until the ejector lever hooks are fully
latched.
Step 8
Pivot both card ejector levers so that the openings on the card ejector cams at the top and bottom of the card pass over
the tabs on each side of the card cage.
Caution
Verify that the openings on the card ejector cams pass over the tabs; otherwise, one or both ejector levers
might bind when you attempt to close the ejector levers, thereby damaging or breaking one or both ejector
levers.
Step 9
Continue sliding the card into the card cage slot until the openings on the card ejector cams engage the cams on each
side of the card cage slot.
FCs have guide pins that make initial contact with the midplane connector as you slide a card into its slot. After
Note
the guide pins make contact, continue pushing the card carrier until the card ejector levers begin pivoting forward,
toward the handle in the card carrier.
Step 10
To seat the card in the midplane connector, grasp both card ejector levers and pivot them inward toward the handle in
the card carrier until they are flush against the front edge of the card carrier.
New Installation Only: Do not tighten any fabric cards until all cards have been inserted and seated. For
Note
maintenance or replacement of a failed FC, loosen the captive screws of the FCs on both sides of the failed FC
as well as the FC to be replaced. Only remove the FC card being replaced.
Step 11
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 clockwise to seat the card firmly in the slot.
