Installing a Line Card
Step 2
Remove the new line card from the shipping packaging, being careful to handle the module using only the
module's metal tray or the front panel. Do not touch the printed circuit board or the connector pins.
Step 3 Pivot the left and the right ejector levers away from the front of the module and hold them while sliding the
line card into the slot.
Step 4 Hold the line card's front panel with one hand and place your other hand under the carrier to support the line
card.
Step 5 Position and carefully slide the line card into the slot. Make sure that you align the sides of the printed circuit
boards with the slot guides on each side of the chassis slot.
