When you remove a line card, always use the ejector levers to ensure that the line card connector pins disconnect
from the backplane in the logical sequence expected by the router. Any line card that is only partially connected
to the backplane can halt the router.
Caution
5. Simultaneously pivot the ejector levers away from each other to release the line card from the backplane
connector.
6. Grasp the ejector levers and pull the line card halfway out of the slot.
7. Grasp the line card and gently pull it straight out of the slot, keeping your other hand under the line card
to guide it. Avoid touching the line card printed circuit board, components, or any connector pins.
8. Place the removed line card on an antistatic mat, or immediately place it in an antistatic bag if you plan to
return it to the factory.
9. If the line card slot is to remain empty, install a line card blank (Product Number A9K-LC-FILR) to keep
dust out of the chassis and to maintain proper airflow through the line card compartment. Secure the line card
blank to the chassis by tightening its captive screws.
