DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
1. Orient the blade so that the ports are at the front of the chassis and the flat side of the blade is on the bottom.
2. Open the ejectors by rotating them toward the center of the blade face, align the flat side of the blade inside the left
and right rail guides in the slot, and slide the blade into the slot until it is firmly seated.
3. Close the ejectors by rotating them away from the center of the blade. The levering action of the ejectors seats the
blade in the slot.
4. Tighten the thumbscrews using the Phillips screwdriver.
5. Verify that the power LED on the port blade is displaying a steady green light. If it does not turn on, ensure that the
blade is firmly seated.
6. Verify that the Status LED on the blade shows amber until POST completes for the blade. The status LED should then
display green. If the LED remains amber, the board may not be properly seated in the backplane or the board may be
faulty.
7. Install the transceivers and cables in the blade. For mSFP ( FC8-64 port blade only) and QSFP ( FC16-64 port blade
only) transceivers, it is recommended that you install the cables in the transceivers before installing the transceivers in
the blade.
8. Group and route the cables through the vertical cable management finger assemblies.
9. Replace the chassis door.
