Quick Install Guide 5
C613-04030-01 REV E1
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.
Do not attempt to install a line card in a switch controller bay (bay A or B).
Attempting to install a line card in a switch controller bay is likely to damage
the line card and chassis.
4. Prepare the line card
In an antistatic environment, remove the line card from its packing
material. Be sure to observe ESD precautions.
Do not attempt to install a line card without observing correct antistatic
procedures. Failure to do so may damage the line card and chassis. If you are
unsure what the correct procedures are, contact your authorised Allied Telesyn
distributor or reseller.
An ESD socket is provided on the front panel of the SwitchBlade chassis. The socket is
designed to be used in conjunction with an ESD wrist strap (see Figure 1 on page -5).

6. Remove the line card bay faceplate or existing line card
To remove a blank faceplate:
Loosen the faceplate’s two Phillips mounting screws until they disengage
from the chassis, then remove the faceplate.
