Adding Half-Height Line Cards
This section provides instructions for adding half-height line cards to the chassis.
Caution: During installation, maintenance, and/or removal, wear a grounding wrist strap to avoid ESD damage
to the components. Failure to do so could result in damage to sensitive electronic components and potentially void your
warranty.
Step 1 Determine the type of line card you are installing. Each line card is identified by the label near the bottom of its front
panel.
Step 2 Determine which chassis slot to install the card in based on the information in Chassis Slot Numbering and
Assignments.
Step 3 Remove the blanking panel covering the slot:
Step a Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to loosen the screws at the top and bottom of the blanking panel.
Step b Hold the screws on the blanking panel, and pull the blanking panel away from the chassis to expose
the chassis slot.
Caution: Do not leave chassis slots uncovered for extended periods of time. This reduces airflow through the
chassis, which could cause it to overheat. Install a card or a blanking panel s in every chassis slot.
Step 4 Slide the interlock switch on the card fully downward. Flip the ejector levers outward and away from the card’s front
panel.
