3.3.7 Installing Line Cards
Line cards can be installed in slots 1 to 7 (or 1 to 15 on the RS 8600). If you also plan to install a redundant Control
Module, you can install line cards in slots 2 to 7 (2 to 15 on the RS 8600). You will need a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver
to perform this procedure.
1.
If a cover plate is installed over the line card slot, use the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove it.
2.
Slide the line card all the way into the slot, firmly but gently pressing the line card fully in place to
ensure that the pins on the back of the line card are completely seated in the backplane.
Note
Make sure the circuit board (and not the metal plate) is between the card guides,
as shown in Figure 3-9. Check both the upper and lower tracks.
3.
Use the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten the captive screws on each side of the line card to
secure the line card to the chassis.
4.
Repeat the above steps for the remaining cards.

3.3.8 Installing GBIC Modules into Line Cards
GBIC line cards support two sockets for installing GBIC modules. One GBIC module can be installed into each
available socket.
Figure 3-12 shows an example of a GBIC module. The procedure following the figure describes how to install the
module into the GBIC line card.
