3 The arrow in slot 10 (item 2 in Figure 22; labelled R0 on the chassis) identies the slot in which you insert the rst RPM. Align the card
with the guide and gently slide it into the slot by holding the two ejector levers in the fully open position and pushing the card forward.
You should feel the backplane connectors on the RPM engage with the chassis backplane.

4 Push in the levers (item 3 in Figure 22) until the thumb tabs pop up and the card is fully inserted in the slot. The ejector levers hide
under the card.
5 If the C9010 uses two RPMs, insert the second RPM into slot 11 (labelled R1 on the chassis) below the rst RPM by following Steps 1
to 4.
6 If the C9010 uses only one RPM, install a blank panel to cover slot 11. To install the panel, hold the levers and insert the blank to cover
the open slot. Push in the lever to secure the blank in place.
Installing a Line Card
Before you install line cards, review these guidelines:
Install the fan modules before you install line cards in a C9010 switch.
On the C9010, line card slots are labeled 0 to 9. You can insert any line card type into any line card slot. For the location of line-card slot
numbers, see C9010 Hardware Description.
To control airow for adequate system cooling, personal safety, and EMI containment during operation, install a blank in any empty line
card slot. Install an operational line card module or a blank in each line card slot. Always replace a line card or blank panel immediately.
The blank panels for RPMs and line cards are dierent sizes (line card blanks are smaller); be sure to install the correct blank panels in
each empty slot.
