Removing RPMs and Line Cards
WARNING: After removing an RPM, place a panel blank in the empty slot before powering up the chassis.
Blanks are required to control airflow and electromagnetic interference.
NOTE: The C150 requires at least one RPM to operate. The system enters a software-defined power-down
state if you remove the only RPM.
To remove a C150 RPM or line card:
Step Task
1 Unplug any network interface cables connected to the card.
2 Extend the left and right card levers by first pressing gently down on the thumb tabs (see
Figure 5-7
) in the ejector
levers and then pulling the ejector levers simultaneously until they are in the open position. See
Figure 5-8
.

3 Pull the card by the card levers until it is out of the slot. Avoid touching the printed circuit board and connector
pins.
4 Install a blank panel in all slots that do not have a card, and secure it with the screws provided.
NOTE: The blank panels for RPMs and line cards are different sizes (RPM blanks are smaller); be sure that
blank panels are installed in the correct slots.
5 If you are replacing the card, follow the instructions in
Installing RPMs and Line Cards on page 19
