Chapter 17 Installing and Removing Line Cards
Removing Half-Height Line Cards and Carrier
Step 4 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers away from each other to disengage the line card from the
backplane (Figure 17-53).

Step 5
Slide the line card out of the carrier and place it on an antistatic surface or in an antistatic bag.
Step 6 If you are not installing a replacement line card, install a blank faceplate in the slot.
Caution Do not install two carrier half-height blank faceplates into a line card slot. Instead, install a full-slot
blank faceplate into the slot. The half-height blank faceplates do not have air dams, and the empty slot
will rob cooling air from the other slots. A carrier with one half-height line card and one half-height
blank faceplate is allowed.
Warning
Do not operate the system unless all slots contain a line card or a blank faceplate. Do not use a carrier
with no line cards; you must install a full-slot blank faceplate into slots that contain no cards. Blank
faceplates are necessary in empty slots to prevent exposure to hazardous voltages, to reduce
electromagnetic interference (EMI) that may disrupt other equipment, and to direct the flow of cooling
air through the chassis.
