5.3.3 Installing a Line Board (sLB-1024)

You can install up to 12 line boards at the rear side of the Vantage 8500 chassis.
When installing the sLB-1024 boards, start at the bottom of the chassis and work your way up to
avoid friction between components of adjacent line boards.
Use ESD Precautions.
To install a sLB-1024 board into the chassis:
1. Carefully set the board into the side guide rails.
• Slide the board slowly into the chassis until the ejectors begin to engage on the chassis
edge. Do not exert excess force on the connectors when inserting the board.
• Press the ejectors inwards until the locks snap.
2. Tighten the four security screws. It is recommended to tighten the screws a crisscross
sequence (top right, bottom left, top left, bottom right).
When using a drill-like electric screwdriver to fasten the board screws in place, do not
use more than Torque 3 force (10 lb. in) as this could damage the screws.
3. Check the LED indicators.
