How to Install or Remove a Switch Fabric Card

Steps

To install a switch fabric card, see Figure 4-13 and follow these steps:

Figure 4-13 Installing a Switch Fabric Card

Step 1 Go to the rear of the chassis. Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash

to one of the ESD connection sockets on the rear (SFC) side of the chassis or a bare metal surface on the

chassis.

Step 2 Remove the switch fabric card from its antistatic packaging.

Step 3 Use a medium Phillips screwdriver to remove the switch fabric card from its protective carrier.

Step 4 Visually inspect the connector pins on the card before you insert it into the chassis.

Note Do not attempt to install a card with bent pins, because this may damage the chassis midplane

connectors.
