Replace Chassis Components
Procedure
Step 1
Open the packaging for the new line card and inspect the module for damage.
If the module is damaged, contact the Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
Step 2 If you are replacing a module that is currently in the chassis, remove the existing module from the chassis by
following these steps:
a) Run the shutdown location 0/ location/CPU0 command, which gracefully shuts down the line card.
b) Disconnect and label each of the interface cables from the module.
c) Verify that the Line Card LED for the slot that you specified turns off. Also, you can use the show platform
command to verify that the status of the card is SHUT DOWN.
d) Loosend the two captive screws.
e) Rotate each of the two ejector levers away from the center of the chassis. The levers unlock themselves
from the brackets on the side of the chassis.
f) Press the ejector buttons and use the levers to pull the module a couple of inches (about 5 cm) from the
chassis.
g) Close the ejector levers.
h) Use one hand to hold the front of the module, place your other hand under the module to support its weight,
pull it out of the chassis, and set it on an antistatic surface or inside an antistatic bag.
Step 3
To install the new module, follow these steps:
a) Hold the front of the module with one hand and place your other hand under the module to support its
weight.
b) Align the back of the module to the guides in the open line card slot and slide the module all the way into
the slot (see the following figure).
The module stops when its front is about 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) outside the front of the chassis. Press the
ejector buttons and the two levers move part way to the front of the chassis.
