Step 5 Properly support the weight of the card and align it with the upper and lower card guides of the chassis slot. Gently slide
the card into the slot until the levers touch the chassis frame.
Caution: Take extra care when you install packet processing cards. These cards contain heat sinks that could
become loose or damaged if they come into contact with an adjacent card while the packet processing card is being
inserted in the chassis slot.
Important: If you are installing PSCAs in a chassis that contains PSCs, refer to the Chassis Hybrid Mode
Operation appendix for additional configuration information.
Step 6 Push the ejector levers inward firmly until the card is seated in the chassis midplane and you cannot push the ejector
levers in any further. Press firmly on the card’s faceplate to ensure that it is fully seated. The card’s front panel should
be flush against the chassis’ upper and lower card mounts for the slot.
