Ensure that the chassis is firmly seated on a stable surface. In the router, the
high-performance cards that connect to the ciscoBus require substantial force to slide them
into the card cage and seat them properly.
On the front access panel (see Figure 9), turn the two thumb screws counterclockwise to
loosen them; do not attempt to remove them from the panel. Pull the panel off the chassis
and set it aside.

Slip on an ESD wrist strap and connect it to the chassis as described in "Preventing
Electrostatic Discharge Damage," on page 17.
If you are replacing an existing CSC-MEC card, disconnect the cables from the front of the
card to be removed.
If necessary, disconnect the cables from other interface cards so you can remove the
CSC-MEC from the card cage. Before disconnecting cables, ensure that they are properly
labeled to avoid mixing up interfaces when you reconnect them.
Use your thumbs to pull the ejector tabs out and away from the card edge to loosen it, and
pull the card out of its slot. Place the removed card on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
Ensure that the jumper for each Ethernet port is set for the correct electrical specification:
Ethernet Version 2 (default) or Version 1. (Refer to the section "Configuring the CSC-MEC
and CSC-C2MEC Cards," on page 9.)
