Replace a Line Card
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.
Figure 41: Insert a Line Card into the Chassis
1 Rotate the ejector handle on each end of the module
away from the center of the chassis.
2 Align the bottom of the back of the module with
tracks on either side of the slot.
c) Rotate the ends of the two levers toward the center of the chassis.
When the levers point straight out from the chassis, their other ends should be locked onto the brackets on the side
of the chassis.
As you rotate the levers, the front of the module moves all the way to the front of the chassis and the module fully
seats on the chassis.
d) Tighten the two captive screws to 8 in-lb (0.9 Nm) torque.
e) Attach each interface cable to the appropriate port on the line card. Use the label on each cable to determine which
port each cable attaches to.
f) Verify that the line card LEDs turn on and appear green.
