Quick Install Guide 5 For the SwitchBlade 4 chassis (AT-SB4104): Unless replacing an existing line card, choose the empty line card bay that is closest to bottom of the chassis. This provides optimum cooling. Line card bays are bays 1 to 4. For example, fill line card bay 4 first, and bay 1 last. Bay numbers can be found on the chassis, right of each bay. Although line cards will operate in any combination of line card bays, filling the bays in the order described above provides optimum cooling.
SwitchBlade Line Card Keep the faceplate for future use. If you should remove a line card, replace the faceplate to prevent dust and debris from entering the chassis and to maintain proper airflow. The switch may overheat or be damaged by dust and debris if bays are left uncovered. To remove an existing line card: Loosen the line card’s two Phillips screws until they disengage from the chassis. Move the line card ejector levers to the unlocked position (see Figure 2 on page -6).
