Replacing or Installing Modules, Fan Trays, and Power Supplies

The module stops when its front is about 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) outside the front of the chassis.

d) Rotate the ejector lever all the way to the front of the chassis until it locks in place with a click.

The module is fully seated on the midplane.

e) Screw in the two captive screws to secure the module to the chassis. Tighten each of these screws to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m)

of torque.

f) Verify that the Status (STS) LED turns on and becomes green.

Installing or Replacing a Line Card

The switch can operate with one or more line cards that are installed in the chassis. If there is at least one line

card that is installed and operating in the chassis, you can replace another line card or install a new line card

in an empty line card slot.

Warning

Before you begin

• Wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap or other ESD protective device while handling modules.

• Prepare an antistatic surface or packing materials for each module that you remove from the chassis.

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).

Statement 1029 Blank Faceplates and Cover Panels

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous

voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might

disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the

system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Statement 1034 Backplane Voltage

Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution

when servicing.

Statement 1051 Laser Radiation

Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams

or view directly with optical instruments.
