Chapter 17 Installing and Removing Line Cards
Installing Half-Height Line Cards
Caution Do not install two carrier blank faceplates into a line card slot. Instead, install a full-slot blank faceplate
into the subslot. The half-height blank faceplates do not have air dams, and the empty subslot will rob
cooling air from the other slots. A carrier with one half-height line card and one half-height blank
faceplate is allowed.
Caution Do not install a half-height line card into the carrier before installing the carrier into the chassis. The
carrier does not have ejector levers that allow you to seat the half-height line card in the backplane.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself. Statement 94
Warning All safety requirements and recommendations must be read by all personnel prior to working on the
system. Failure to follow the safety requirements and recommendations could result in injury.
