a) Disconnect and label each of the interface cables from the module.
b) Run the hw-module location <loc> shutdown command in admin EXEC mode, which gracefully shuts down the
line card.
c) Verify that the Line Card LED for the slot that you specified turns off. Also, you can verify that the card is in powered
off state running the show platform command to verify the status of the card to be POWERED_OFF.
d) Rotate each of the two ejector levers away from the center of the chassis (see the following figure).
Figure 57: Remove a Line Card from the Chassis
Pull each ejector handle to remove the module part
way from the chassis.
2Rotate the ejector handle on each end of the module
away from the center of the chassis until they no
longer hold onto the mounting bracket.

The levers unlock themselves from the brackets on the side of the chassis.
e) Use the levers to pull the module a couple of inches (about 5 cm) from the chassis.
f) Use one hand to hold the front of the module, place your other hand under the module to support its weight, pull it
out of the chassis, and set it on an antistatic surface or inside an antistatic bag.
Step 3 To install the new module, follow these steps:
a) Rotate the end of each of the two ejector levers away from the center of the chassis.
b) Hold the front of the module with one hand and place your other hand under the module to support its weight.
c) Align the back of the module to the guides in the open line card slot and slide the module all the way into the slot
(see the following figure).
The module stops when its front is about 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) outside the front of the chassis. The two levers move
part way to the front of the chassis.
