Removing and Installing a Clock and Scheduler Card, Switch Fabric Card, or Alarm Card
Slide the card out of the slot and place it directly into an antistatic bag or other
ESD-preventive container.
If you plan to return the defective SFC to the factory, repackage it in the shipping
container you received with the replacement card.
Switch fabric card captive screws must be tightened to ensure electromagnetic
compliance (EMC).
To install an SFC, see
Attach an ESD-preventive strap to your wrist and connect the leash to the chassis
or to another grounded, bare metal surface.
Remove the SFC from its antistatic bag or ESD-preventive container.
Avoid touching the card circuitry or any connectors.
Touching only the metal card carrier, use your free hand to support the bottom of
the SFC.
SFC slots are equipped with card alignment grooves on both sides. When you
insert a SFC in the slot, make sure you carefully align both edges of the card
carrier in the corresponding card slot grooves.
Set both edges of the SFC carrier into the card slot carrier alignment grooves on
either side of the SFC slot.
Pivot the ejector levers away from each other; rotate each ejector lever outward
away from the faceplate.
Use both thumbs to slide the card carrier into the SFC slot until the ejector levers
make contact with the front of the card cage, then stop.
Pivot the ejector levers toward the faceplate until the connector seats in the
backplane.
