Steps
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the ESD connection sockets on the
front (PLIM) side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the chassis.
Step 2
Remove the switch fabric card from its antistatic packaging.
Step 3 Grasp the card carrier handle with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support and guide it into the
correct slot (see the following figure).
Note For easiest installation, install the cards from right to left sequentially, starting from the far right slot.
Step 4
Position the card for insertion into the card cage slot. Avoid touching the card circuitry or any connectors.
Note Alignment grooves exist on each slot in the card cage. When you install a card in the card cage, make sure
that you align both edges of the card carrier in the slot grooves.

Step 5
Orient the switch fabric card so that the PCB faces left and the carrier is to the right; if the card does not slide easily
into the slot, the orientation may be wrong and the misorientation rejection flange is stopping the card from going into
the slot. Reorient the switch fabric card, if necessary.
