d) Use one hand to hold the front of the line card, place your other hand under the line card to support its weight. Pull
the line card out of the chassis, and set it on an antistatic surface or inside an antistatic bag.

in the following figure.

Press the release button on each lever and rotate the lever
away from the line card.

Align the back of the module to the open slot with the
bottom of the line card sliding into guides on each side
of the slot.
b) Hold the front of the line card with one hand and place your other hand under the line card to support its weight.
c) Align the back of the line card to the guides in the open line card slot. Gently slide the module into the slot until it
stops.
The line card stops when its front is about 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) outside the front of the chassis.
d) Rotate the ends of the two levers toward the front of the chassis until the levers click and they secure the line card to
the chassis.
As you rotate the levers, the line card seats itself onto the fabric modules inside the chassis. And the front of the line
card moves all the way to the front of the chassis.
e) Attach each interface cable to the appropriate port on the line card. Use the label on each cable to determine which
port each cable attaches to.
f) Verify that the line card LEDs turn on and appear as follows:
• The Status (STS or STA) LED turns on and becomes green.

Gently push the line card into the slot until it
stops with the front of the line card nearly at
the front of the chassis.
