Installing a 16-port card

A 16-port card can be installed in any combination of slots 1–4 and 7–10. The control

CP card) should have a filler panel installed to ensure correct cooling of the chassis and
protection from dust. See

easily, ensure that it is correctly aligned inside the rail guides before continuing. Installing a
16-port card or filler panel with incorrect alignment damages both the chassis and the
replacement part.
Wear a grounded ESD strap when handling a 16-port card. The chassis has a grounding
connection above the power connectors.
Hold the 16-port card by the edges of the metal pan. Do not use the ejectors to hold or carry a

4. Verify that the Power LED on the 16-port card displays a steady green light (it can take a
few seconds to turn on). If it does not turn on, ensure that the 16-port card has power and
is firmly seated.
