b) Hold the front of the module with one hand and place your other hand under the module to support it.
c) Align the back of the module to the guides in the open controller slot and slide the module all the way into the slot.
The module stops when its front is about 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) outside the front of the chassis.
d) Rotate the ejector lever all the way to the front of the chassis until it locks in place with a click.
The module is fully seated on the midplane.
e) Screw in the two captive screws to secure the module to the chassis. Tighten each of these screws to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m)
of torque.
f) Verify that the Status (STS) LED blinks in amber color, turns to solid amber color, and later turns to green color, and
the Active (ACT) LED is amber or green.
Replace a Line Card
The router can operate with one or more line cards installed in the chassis. If there is at least one line card
installed and operating in the chassis, you can replace another line card or install a new line card in an empty
line card slot.
Statement 1029—Blank Faceplates and Cover Panels
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages
and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other
equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all
cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Warning
Statement 1034—Backplane Voltage
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when
servicing
Warning
Statement 1051—Laser Radiation
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams or
view directly with optical instruments.
Warning
