Installing and Removing a Line Card

Figure 5-13 Removing a LC

Step 1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect its leash to the ESD connection socket

on the front side of the chassis (Figure 2-4). You can also connect the ESD-preventive wrist strap leash

to any bare metal surface on the chassis.

Step 2 Identify the card to be replaced. To verify which card needs attention, the Attention LED can be lit using

the hw-module attention-led location CLI command.

Step 3 Use the number-2 Phillips screwdriver or number-2 common (flat-head) screwdriver to loosen the two

captive screws holding the card in place.

Step 4 Grasp the two card ejector levers and simultaneously pivot both ejector levers 70 degrees away from the

front edge of the card carrier to unseat the card from the backplane connector.
