Removing Half-Height Line Cards and Carrier
This section describes how to properly remove half-height line cards and the carrier from the chassis (for
purposes of updating or upgrading to a new line card). This section includes the following tasks:
• Removing a Half-Height Line Card, page 17-51
• Removing a Carrier, page 17-55
Removing a Half-Height Line Card
Note You need not remove the cables from the faceplate of a line card if you are going to move the same line
card to a different slot. However, check to be sure the dales are not run through the cable-management
bracket before you remove the half-height line card and cables.
You do need to remove the cables if you are not replacing the card. If you are removing a line card that
uses BNC cables, and are replacing the same type of card in the same slot, you do not need to remove
the coaxial cables. If you are removing a line card that uses coaxial cables, and are not replacing the
same type of card in the same slot, you must remove the coaxial cables from the BNC connectors.
Step 1 Attach an antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the ESD socket on the chassis, or to a bare metal
surface on the chassis or frame (Figure 17-50 or Figure 17-51).
Use the following procedure to remove a half-height line card from the chassis:
