• Number-2 Phillips screwdriver or Number-2 common (flat-head) screwdriver
• S13 Multi-Chassis Fabric Card
Steps
To install an S13 MC FC card (Figure 5-5) in the NCS 6008 LCC, follow these steps:
Step 1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to one of the two ESD jacks
on the rear side of the LCC (Figure 2-2). You can also connect the ESD-preventive wrist strap leash to
any bare metal surface on the FCC.
Step 2 Remove the card from its antistatic packaging.
Step 3 Determine the FC slot where the card will be installed. For a description of the slot locations, see
Figure 2-3.
Step 4 Orient the card according to the up arrow on the faceplate.
Note If the card does not slide easily into the slot during installation, the orientation may be wrong or the slot
is not for a S13 MC FC.
